POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing since i was little. whether it was scribbling on a paper for my mother, or on my own i've always enjoyed it, and probably will for as long as i live.
I live in Florida, we get a lot of rain
I got worms in my backseat
From neglect and from disease
I thought I sucked them dry
With A wetvac keep in mind
I hop in my car and who's my guest?
Them worms came back they built a nest
The floods the cause of my disgrace
But it's my fault I let them rest
They crawl up from underneath
A whole town underneath
Clawing up for sweet release
Disappointment soon to reach
Little critters white as sheet
Soon to dry immobilized
I got worms in my backseat
From neglect and from disease
I thought I sucked them dry
With A wetvac keep in mind
I hop in my car and who's my guest?
Them worms came back they built a nest
The floods the cause of my disgrace
But it's my fault I let them rest
They crawl up from underneath
A whole town underneath
Clawing up for sweet release
Disappointment soon to reach
Little critters white as sheet
Soon to dry immobilized
I got worms in my backseat

I've a feeling in my chest
Not on my heart
More towards the center
It comes and goes
Sometimes it likes to travel a little
Swirls around my gut and up
I might have a galaxy inside of me
It is never beckoned
But it likes to stay
I try to coax it away
Warm tea might help
Or video games
I've been staying up until the morning
Coaxing the feeling away
Not on my heart
More towards the center
It comes and goes
Sometimes it likes to travel a little
Swirls around my gut and up
I might have a galaxy inside of me
It is never beckoned
But it likes to stay
I try to coax it away
Warm tea might help
Or video games
I've been staying up until the morning
Coaxing the feeling away

There's little people in my screen
I love them and they love me
They're fun to visit and fill their needs
See them grow in ways untold
Some are sad and then get better
Some are poor and then get richer
These little people in my screen
I care for them and they for me
I love them and they love me
They're fun to visit and fill their needs
See them grow in ways untold
Some are sad and then get better
Some are poor and then get richer
These little people in my screen
I care for them and they for me

Oct 19 Only The Blind Can See
Only the blind can see
You're an asshole but it's alright now
It's okay to flaunt it
In secret
A secret only for those that dare not
Because you're hot
Attractiveness gives way for the ugly things within
What has been bubbling inside will come
At short bursts in different times
A sprinkle for each so no one will notice
The monster you feed in your closet
A closet that opens to those that come close
Foolishly lured into your false beauty
All those beware of vanity
Take a closer look
Before you're consumed
Ask...

I need closure
and it sickens me how much i need it
i haven’t seen him for weeks, i think hes’ left
Its funny, I’ve wished him gone for so long
wished he would disappear
so i wouldn’t have to hurt
well now it burns
i had a dream where i was searching for him at a school
it was abandoned and scary, but i was Buffy and he was spike
their relationship reminds me of what we had
I think its because it was centered around abuse and lust and so so much want
when we talked on the phone we made our world...

Insight 1/5/15
when you’re feeling sad
because you’ve lost something
try again
and think
this could’ve never been
if it hadn’t once been lost
there’s always something better
on the other side
you just gotta get up
and go
go take a peek
because you’ve lost something
try again
and think
this could’ve never been
if it hadn’t once been lost
there’s always something better
on the other side
you just gotta get up
and go
go take a peek

I’m crying right now
as i type
the keyboard gives the illusion of a stretched out light
and oh look at that
my tears are on the space bar
perhaps i should go to space
purify my sins
and now i have a poker face
and my hands are doing their thing
i have no more thoughts except these
if depression had a name for us
i wonder what would it be
at least my tears have stopped

The fat is bad it wants you to eat it
it wants to crawl in your stomach
in your thighs
stay away from the fat
its a vermin
tricks the eye
with its delightful form
see past the pretty
its gross and desperate
it just wants to stick beside you
its a parasite
Dont forget it
dont you feel it?
yes right there
its all around you
dont let the parasite win
Be stronger
dont eat it!

Maybe Someday
Maybe someday
we won't be ignorant
Maybe someday
We will realize
All the pain
we cause to ourselves
Why? why? why?
I shall ask this a million times
Why do we eradicate
The different?
Why? why? why
Do you think pain is the answer?
I don't understand.
How could you gain pleasure by being a monster?
I'd like to think that someday
We would all live in peace
Id like to believe
I'll be alive to see this.
Yes i hope
I hope and hope and hope
For all the ones couldn't.
Why do we think it logical

Confession:a bit about myself-Prozac
In the beginning when i just got out of the hospital for attempting to take my life i was assigned to Prozac, back then i needed it as in if i didn't get it i would try to kill myself again.However this only made me numb to my feelings i didn't really deal with the actual cause of my depression.I have secretly stopped taking the pills, they don't work for me anymore,i wont try to kill myself again at least i don't think so.I am in a way stronger though far from healed.I have an eating disorder and it is true i am purging just a bit more since i've stopped taking Prozac, but its not at all...

Let me be MYSELF
I'm not your work of art
I am human
I have desires
Let me meet then
Just because you love me
Doesn't mean you control me
Get your head screwed on right
Cuz that's not how its working
Darling this ain't the 1900's
I got my choice now
I want what i want
Till my hearts content
Then I MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Get your facts on straight
I ain't working for you
I am not afraid to displease
No i am not afraid
Not afraid of being myself
Yet
I
Wont
Let
You
Know
My
past
In...
