POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a poet . Poetry is my passion . My pain and my love bleeds through that ink onto the paper . I breathe in experience and breathe out poetry .
Inner pain
I just wanna pass
So I can be at rest ,
That's all I ask
I gave it my best .
This inner pain
It hurts so bad ,
Like I got hit by a train
I'm just so sad .
I must itch the scabs
When I'm asleep ,
This pain I have
Hurts in my dreams .
The cuts reopen
When I awake ,
It's got me mopin'
There's no more I can take .
Wounds so deep
Impossible to heal ,
This pain that I keep
I wish someone would steal .
Years of masking
Only made it worse ,
It's got me begging
To see my hearse . ...

The System
You're just like that hook
Stuck in a fishes mouth ,
You don't go by their book
And their locking you down .
They make up lies
And take away your freedom ,
Always wrong in their eyes
You can never beat 'em .
It's all about money
And they're all corrupt ,
They also think it's funny
They don't give a fuck .
No sympathy for your life
No care for your explanation ,
They don't wanna know why
Fuck your situation .
Tell me what's your satisfaction
Of seeing me in jail ,
You don't even know a...

The struggle is real ...
In this world full of changes each and every day ,
I feel I'm being judged for what I do and what I say ~
I can remember back in the days chillin' at the park , when I didn't worry about other peoples remarks ~
Now lookin' in the mirror I see to my suprise ,
a completely different person starin' in my eyes ~
A care free little boy I saw at 4 and 5 ,
has now became a man strugglin' to survive .

"Caged"
Ever since a young pup
It's all been bad ,
Once again locked up
And my mind's gone mad ~
Trapped behind bars
A lot of years wasted ,
I made this life hard
Tears of pain is all I tasted ~
Troubled since a teen
With a short fuse ,
I'm going to hell it seems
Couldn't walk in these shoes ~
Started off in foster homes
No family around ,
Always felt all alone
Like a dog in the pound ~
Can't sew my seems
Or even carve a niche ,
And if anyone asks me
I'll tell 'em life's a bitch ~
The future looks dim
I...

HAPPY
I finally found
a girl who likes me for me ,
I'm no longer down
Never thought it could be ~
We both understand
Been down the same road ,
So I will hold your hand
Through the dark and the cold ~
This life can get hard
But I'll help you out of the ditch ,
I can heal your broken heart
And the pain I'll dismiss ~
We can do it together
Heal each other's pain ,
Through whatever weather
We can dance in the rain ~
I love to see your smile
Brings a tear to my eye ,
I'd walk a hundred miles
Just to see it one time ~...

Raining Again
I thought things were fine
But its raing again
Fall to my knees and cry
Yeah its raing again
The pain wont leave my mind
Its raining again
Just when i thought this world was mine
It starts raining again ~
I watch the rain drop
Hit the window pane
The happiness stops
It's raining again
These windows to my soul
Covered in tears
All this pain no one knows
I been hiding for years
Scratching digging out
Trying to break through the surface
Asking to get help
What's the cause what's the purpose

The new me
This new life I chose
I've gained my trust ,
Got rid of my foes
And that was a must ~
Earned my respect
I've made new friends ,
No longer in neglect
They'll be with me to the end ~
Full of persistence,
My mind is back ,
I see the beauty in existence
I'm no longer black ~
I wake up with a smile
And it glows,
I was down for a while
And everybody knows ~
I've faced my demons
And I conquered them ,
Now I know my reason
I'm free till the end ~
No more rejection
And boy it feels good ,

These tatts are scars
Face full of scars
Body full of tatts ,
Minds been rode hard
But I always bounce back ~
Now I can look in the mirror
Without turning away ,
The picture is more clear
Another beautiful day ~
Sober and I'm me
And I love this shit ,
Till it's over I'll remain free
I'm happy in this bitch ~
These scars is what's made me
I needed these falls ,
I am no longer crazy
Breaking down these walls ~
These tatts are reminders
Of where my life has been ,
Life's a bitch but can't rewind her
So I will turn a loss into a win ~...

"Thanks for nothing"
You said you would write
But I never got one letter ,
If you would've dropped one line
It would have made it all better ~
You said you would visit
But your presence is absent ,
Why is it your face I'm missing
Is what I keep asking ~
You don't even care
And it really shows ,
You're never ever there
And that really blows ~
I'm always there for you
And I wonder why ,
I know what to say and do
When I see you cry ~
Now I'm sitting in jail
And still no word ,
You'll send me mail ?
Biggest bullshit I ever heard ~...

"Will I stay"
I'm wound up tight
my nerves are shot ,
ready to end this life
and leave this spot ~
There is nothing for me here
There's really never been ,
it gets worse every year
I commit more and more sins ~
Am I going to hell
or will I go upstairs ?
It's not hard to tell
that nobody even cares ~
My life is hit
and there is no excuse ,
I ain't worth shit
like a blown ass fuse ~
Tighten the noose
or pull out a blade ,
or if I shoot
I'll aim at the side of my face ~
My life is over
there is nothing left ,
I can...

"f**k up"
Once again thinking what have I done ,
a straight fuck up is what I've become ~
My whole life has been bad choices ,
I can't break free from hearing these voices ~
It seems right from wrong I don't know which ,
I'm way over my head in this deep ass ditch ~
It's either drugs or it's thoughts of violence ,
I wanna know why I never had the right guidance ~
I can't blame my mom so is it my dad ?
She gave me everything but I was still so bad ~
Every time I talk to God he seems more further ,
and everyday I awake it's me I wanna murder ~
Thoughts of...

"The pen is my tears"
THE PEN IS MY TEARS ,
When I cry
On the paper ink appears ~
When I'm hurt and sad ,
Tears of ink fill up my note pad ~
Too much pain
I begin to sink ,
My pen starts raining
Tears of ink ~
I cry but in my own way ,
My pen poors ink day after day ~
This life full of sorrow ,
THE PEN IS MY TEARS
today and tomorrow ~
I keep to myself
You wouldn't understand ,
THE PEN IS MY TEARS
And they flow through my hand ~
If explained you wouldn't catch the meaning ,
Why these tears of ink they keep on bleeding ~
What I say...
