POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing is my Passion. My way of expressing myself ☺️
Malady
I’m always so tired
I really need to sleep
Need to be rewired
Depression’s running deep
How long am I required
To put on this facade
Need to feel inspired
I feel as if I’ve died
Head is pounding
Vision is blurred
Does this mean
The tides have turned?
Where is this coming from?
It’s out of the blue
My body is failing me
It can’t be true
Can anyone save me?
What can I do?
The pain is deep
The pain is sharp
I can’t sleep
I’m falling apart
The pain is constant ...
I really need to sleep
Need to be rewired
Depression’s running deep
How long am I required
To put on this facade
Need to feel inspired
I feel as if I’ve died
Head is pounding
Vision is blurred
Does this mean
The tides have turned?
Where is this coming from?
It’s out of the blue
My body is failing me
It can’t be true
Can anyone save me?
What can I do?
The pain is deep
The pain is sharp
I can’t sleep
I’m falling apart
The pain is constant ...

Hell
One year drug free
Grueling and torturous
Thought it would be worth it
Thought it would be better
I’m drowning in a sea
Suffocating, poisonous
Seems easier to just quit
Nothing seems to matter
Back to the pills
Try to numb the pain
I’m slowly losing my will
Slowing going insane
What does it feel like
To be pain free?
Can you even imagine
What it’s like being me?
From my head to my toes
And everywhere between
Pain overwhelms, grows
Becoming quite obscene
Can’t...

Lost
I’m lost in a sea of faces
All in a hurry to get somewhere
I don’t have a sleeve of Aces
Or tricks getting me out of here
I don’t recognize my reflection
This stranger in the mirror
But further inspection
Doesn’t make it clearer
Who am I?
What am I doing?
Where am I going?
I don’t know anymore
My mask is always smiling
Regardless of the tears beneath
You won’t see me crying
Or clenching my teeth
Why do I feel so hollow?
Which path do I follow?
I have no reason to...

Breaking Free
I bang my head against the floor
Just can't take this anymore
Your words cut deeper that a knife
All you make me do is cry
I'm sick of this being my life
And it makes me want to die
You fooled me into thinking
That you were “The One”
Now I feel like I’m sinking
I can no longer see the sun
I don’t understand why
You treat me this way
Darkness spreads across the sky
Even though it should be day
The turmoil that you put me through
Like a roller coaster ride
Emotions ran low and...

Let Me In
Candlelight dances across the room
Out of all these shadows
I'm hoping one is you
You’ve been away for so long
You told me to be strong
But I miss you so much
I want to feel your touch
The day you went away
You told me not to cry
As your spirit left me
And rose to the sky
Now the world seems so cold.
How does it feel
up in the atmosphere?
While my life begins to unfold
I await the day
I can see you again
When you open the door
And let me in
Out of all these shadows
I'm hoping one is you
You’ve been away for so long
You told me to be strong
But I miss you so much
I want to feel your touch
The day you went away
You told me not to cry
As your spirit left me
And rose to the sky
Now the world seems so cold.
How does it feel
up in the atmosphere?
While my life begins to unfold
I await the day
I can see you again
When you open the door
And let me in

Empty Promises
When I see your lips move
I just want to cry
Cuz when I hear your voice
I know its all a lie
You tell me you love me
I think I’m about to lose it
I don’t believe you anymore
You’ll just have to prove it
I want to believe what you say
When you look at me that way
But to another empty promise
I won’t let myself become your prey
I didn’t believe you yesterday
And I still won’t tomorrow
You’ve heard the saying
That you reap you sow?
Karma will come for you
I thought you should know
...

Not Anymore
Baby I can't believe
Just what you did to me
What happened to us
Was it all just jealousy
When we were together
It was pure magic
But then you disappeared
Was that your big trick?
I gave you my heart
My soul and my love
You took flight
Far out of sight
As quickly as a dove
Why do the ones
That I love always leave?
I let them in my heart,
And in the end I just grieve
No more
No, not anymore
This is why I build more walls
That nobody can get through
Another...

The time has finally come
I love that tender, strong touch
Never knew I'd want you so much
Can't wait to see your smiling face
And finally know how your lips taste
I've wanted you for so long
Temptations growing strong
Want to feel your lips pressed to mine
Want you to hold me so tight
Say you'll never let me go
I just wanted you to know
Feelings are growing stronger
Let your fingers wander
Across my smooth skin
You are my sweetest sin
Want your body close to mine
Want your loving time after time
Please come a...

Little bitch
So it ended after all
I won't ever return your call
After all the shit you put me through
All the hate. Lies? That too
You raised hell and drama
To get your few cheap items back
I gathered all of them up
Barely filled half a bag
When your friend didn't
Pick them up in time
You say you've given away
Everything that was mine
My stuff was worth
More than your car
More money than
You've ever made, by far
That's ok little bitch
Two can play dirty
I'll keep your shit too
And...

Forgotten
forgotten that's all I'll ever be
friends have completely abandoned me
just someone to lean on when nobody else will
being by myself is a new found skill
a pillow to break your fall
and of course your booty call
but now your nothing at all
and I am going to let you fall as well
you can share a part of my hell
falling too far, where nobody else will hear you
karma is on its way and it will come for you too
and i wont shed a tear
I'm not going to stand here
looking like a fool trying to help you
trust me I know what your going through...

Sick of being played
Tired of being used
Tired of being abused
Was it all a ruse
The whole time I was with you?
Sick of being played
Its driving me insane
Their feelings always fade
They just want to get laid
Im not a toy
To play with as you please
You really think you're coy
I want you begging on your knees
Time to feel my pain
Time to feel played
Now you're my little toy
To play with as I please little boy
Tired of being abused

pain
I just can't take the pain
The pain that's deep inside
Inside where I can no longer hide
Hide from my fears
Fears of being alone
Alone where my fears can reach me
Reach from deep down
Down to my bones
My bones which ache
Ache with throbbing pain
Pain that's slowly driving me insane
Insane enough to let go
Let go of you
You are I are utterly through
Through forever but
Forever doesn't seem quite long enough
Long enough to forget
Forget all the heartache
The heartache and dismay
Dismay from being used
Used in ever...
The pain that's deep inside
Inside where I can no longer hide
Hide from my fears
Fears of being alone
Alone where my fears can reach me
Reach from deep down
Down to my bones
My bones which ache
Ache with throbbing pain
Pain that's slowly driving me insane
Insane enough to let go
Let go of you
You are I are utterly through
Through forever but
Forever doesn't seem quite long enough

Forget all the heartache
The heartache and dismay
