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 .
"Try to change"
I try to change
But I just can't do it ,
I play the game
But I just keep losing ~
I try to change
But I just can't do it ,
Too much stress on the brain
I can't get through it ~
I try to change
But I just can't do it ,
And I'm to blame
just stuck in confusion ~
I try to change
But I just can't do it ,
This world is strange
wrong or right I can't choose it ~
I try to change
But I just can't do it ,
I stay the same
While the world keeps moving ~

"I miss you"
It's been a long time
Since I seen your pretty face ,
You are always on my mind
Anytime any place ~
This love is forever
A true eternity ,
A love that can't be measured
A love that could murder me ~
I still hurt inside
Cause I'm not with you ,
Almost pushed to suicide
Yeah my days are blue ~
Hoping that tomorrow will bring
A smile or some joy ,
I would give anything
Just to hear your voice ~
You seem so far away
But yet you're so close ,
I need to find a way
To tell you I care for you the most ~
I hope you...

"Broken"
My family is broken
Just like my heart ,
And it's got me smokin'
Alone in the dark ~
Im going through some changes
While things stay the same ,
A lot of different phases
Too much turmoil on the brain ~
Filled with so much hurt
It seems to never go away ,
So tell me what's a smerk
When you're just sad everyday ~
To me things only get worse
Nothings ever gotten better ,
I know I'm blessed with a curse
My cheeks only getting wetter ~
My life full of rain
It's so hard to keep going ,
I'm so close to insane
And bad...

"Amy Winehouse"
She steps up on the mic and before she opens her mouth ,
There's already a tremendous eruption coming from the crowd ~
Her green eyes gazing at the fans as she's ready to unwind ,
She tells the drummer to "run it" and takes a sip of her wine ~
Her beautiful voice begins to sing a story ,
Filled with pain but has brought her to glory ~
She goes back to black as she wakes up alone ,
She's been sent flying as her tears dry on their own ~
They tried to make her go to rehab and she said no ,
She moves the crowd with valerie and also mr. Jones ~
Her...

"Pull The Plug"
You pulled the rug ,
Beaneath my feet
You're far from sweet
Now pull the plug ~
You pulled the rug ,
From under my shoes
Im stuck in the blues
Now pull the plug ~
You pulled the rug ,
From under my toes
Too many low blows
Now pull the plug ~
You pulled the rug ,
From under my socks
You're no longer my rock
Now pull the plug ~
You pulled the rug ,
From under my life
Words cut like a knife
Now pull the plug ~
You pulled the rug ,
From under my heart
Forever...
Beaneath my feet
You're far from sweet

"My Struggle"
Days and days of endless struggle ,
I just can't break free from this bubble ~
This struggle always here with me ,
This guilt needs to just leave me be ~
My body heavy like I'm made of lead ,
No energy just wanting to stay in bed ~
There's a lot that have it worse than I ,
But that doesn't mean I won't say goodbye ~
They say I have a lot going for me ,
But it's just something that I just can't see ~
I can't see cause my worst enemy ,
Is not my life but inside of me ~
Struggle to be happy and care some more ,
But it's hard to focus when...

"Diminishing Faith"
Moments of today inspire stories for tomorrow ,
Yesterdays moments inspired feelings of sorrow ~
Windows of opportunity have been closed shut ,
Half way through my life and haven't seen a buck ~
Love and friendships came to disaster finishes ,
The lights getting dimmer as my faith diminishes ~
Forgive me Lord because I'm runnin' ,
I'm all alone and giving up that there's somethin' ~
Nothings clear it's all confusion ,
Day by day I just keep losing ~
I believe in depression so how can it be ,
I'm losing faith in something that I can't see ~
I've...

"Do you" ?
Do you think about me like I think about you ?
All the time I sit and wonder if you do ~
Do you think about me like I think about you ?
All the time I sit and wonder if I was used ~
Do you think about me like I think about you ?
It's been years later and I still feel blue ~
Do you think about me like I think about you ?
All the time I sit and wonder if what we had was true ~
Do you think about me like I think about you ?
I wonder if there's still love between us two ~
Do you think about me like I think about you ?
I wonder if you found a love that's...

"New breed"
Kids turning books into guns ,
Murdering the innocence for fun ~
Lives wasted in the blink of an eye ,
Just became a teen and ready to die ~
Trapped in a bedroom for years ,
When home is really what they fear ~
Keeping their feelings locked inside ,
Bullying ultimately led to suicide ~
Sad sorrow tears mad hate killing ,
The world I see today is very chilling ~
Day after day more devastation ,
No wonder these kids are losing motivation ~
Where is the mother or the father figure ?
No direction but to pull a trigger ~
A lost soul carrying...

"You wanna"
You wanna drink a fifth on my grave ?
Smoke a spliff on my grave ?
Leave a kiss on my grave ?
Take a piss on my grave ?
It's all on you ,
Love me or hate me
Go on do what you do ~
Smoke a spliff for the kid
Cause you know he kept it true ,
Drink a fifth for the kid
Cause he's your number one dude ~
Take a piss on my grave ?
Some of y'all would love to ,
While im sleeping in my casket and
You're sreaming fuck you ~
You dont know about this life
And what it's done come to ,
You aint been in my nikes
To see how far I...

"Lost"
Lost in time lost in the past ,
Lost without love lost without cash ~
Im like a lost pup roaming the streets ,
Lost without a family lost in defeat ~
Lost in a world that scars me to death ,
Lost in thought losing my breath ~
Lost without a heart lost without a soul ,
Lost in memories lost in the cold ~
Lost without friends lost in dreams ,
Lost without caring lost forever it seems ~
Lost as a child lost as an adult ,
Lost in the darkness and its all my fault ~
Lost beneath the light i can't break free ,
Lost from myself there is just no me...
Lost without love lost without cash ~
Im like a lost pup roaming the streets ,
Lost without a family lost in defeat ~
Lost in a world that scars me to death ,
Lost in thought losing my breath ~
Lost without a heart lost without a soul ,
Lost in memories lost in the cold ~
Lost without friends lost in dreams ,
Lost without caring lost forever it seems ~
Lost as a child lost as an adult ,
Lost in the darkness and its all my fault ~
Lost beneath the light i can't break free ,
Lost from myself there is just no me...

"What's next"
Still shacked up will I ever get to leave ?
Or is it just more trouble I'll recieve ?
God knows but I sure don't ,
When can I get the time to fix what's broke ?
Seems like never ,
As another day goes by , whatever ~
Nobody knows what's next ,
This ache never goes away that's in my chest ~
Am I in a living hell I ask ?
And if so how long does it last ?
Wishing it was my time to go ,
It sucks cause we'll never ever know ~
Trying to keep my head up but it's too much ,
I'm stuck this way cause of how shit was ~
It's only death that I want ,...
