POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I Can’t See
The world is blurred,
I cannot see,
Cannot walk straight,
To my destination,
A mile away,
Someone come take me home,
For I am lost,
In this world with no colour,
No form,
No shape,
No people willing,
To see me stumble,
Come home,
Wherever it may be.
I cannot see,

For I am lost,
In this world with no colour,
No form,
No shape,
No people willing,
To see me stumble,
Come home,
Wherever it may be.

Don’t Stain My Sheets
When I am bored,
When my fingers itch with the desire;
To smooth innocently over skin,
With ridges so deep I hook on and pull
The crust, the break, the release of internal cells, close enough to dirt as to be pushed under nails
Innocently.
To my internal dirt and mud and crust,
Please don’t stain my sheets-
For I have to clean them in the morning,
The drips and dots and smears of dried mud wont come out
Water wont wash away scabs, I pick them up myself, push them away into...

I Have A Friend
I have a friend,
A great friend,
A beautiful friend,
She looks like death has warmed over,
But she is so beautiful.
I have a friend,
Who acts like the world is a weight,
Who wonders the point of it,
She has days where the weight of everything makes her look down,
She has days where the weight has lessened,
I wish she told me which days are which.
I have a friend,
Who scares me unlike anything else,
Because she never tells me if...

Wishing Stars
I wish that wishing on wishing stars worked,
I wish it were not worthless,
Because if wishing on wishing stars worked then there would be a million wishes worth while- enough to keep the wishing world working,
If I could wish,
I would want one wish,
Just one,
I would walk up to the wishing stars and wish to know; why.
And the wishing stars would know why.
If wishing on wishing stars was true, I would wish to know why,
Because why is the most important wish of all,
What why?
...

I Don’t Want To Sleep
I had a dream, nearly forgotten within my skull
About me and you,
Mostly you.
I wish I forgot,
How you made me,
For I, not you, must lay
Trapped in slumber,
Watching you,
Fall
don’t.
For I pled,
Mercy, within my skull,
You will never be forgotten.
So don’t cry,
My tears are for once my own,
And...

So don’t cry,
My tears are for once my own,
