Poet Introduction
All of my poems stem from personal feelings and experience. It's my outlet for anything. If not for poetry, I don't think I would be here.

Echo
I am but an echo
A calling from the past
People say they change
I say change doesn't last
History is cyclical
And it always comes 'round
I am but an echo
Just waiting to be found.
A calling from the past

Days like Today
Days like today
Always seem so grey
Fresh pops taste flat
and every seam feels frayed
I can be atop a hill
without a worry in the world
but for some reason
my mind feels unfurled
On days like today
I can't listen to the breeze
Cause filling up my ears
are insecurities
I'm out of bed
but not truly awake
I only eat, against my will
for my body's sake
Days like today
seem to last forever
my body walking
through a frozen river
White water washes
any feeling...
Always seem so grey
Fresh pops taste flat
and every seam feels frayed
I can be atop a hill
without a worry in the world
but for some reason
my mind feels unfurled
On days like today
I can't listen to the breeze
Cause filling up my ears
are insecurities
I'm out of bed
but not truly awake
I only eat, against my will
for my body's sake
Days like today
seem to last forever
my body walking
through a frozen river
White water washes
any feeling...

For you
For you, I would crumble mountains.
For you, I would drain the seas.
For you, I would live forever.
For you, I would die of your disease.
For you, I would drain the seas.
For you, I would live forever.
For you, I would die of your disease.

The Box
A solitary light dangles from the ceiling.
Laying motionless, unfeeling.
Grey is the existence.
No escape, defenseless.
What is up, is down.
What is down, is up.
A paradox.
A metal pox.
An itch behind the eye.
A bleeding in the mind.
Strictly speaking, this is hell.
Mindscape's leaking, I'm not well.
Count the corners: eight.
Count the seams: twelve.
Count the faces: nine.
Eight of these are not mine.
Two of these are not the walls.
My body breaks when it falls.
A solitary light dangles from the ceiling....
Laying motionless, unfeeling.
Grey is the existence.
No escape, defenseless.
What is up, is down.
What is down, is up.
A paradox.
A metal pox.
An itch behind the eye.
A bleeding in the mind.
Strictly speaking, this is hell.
Mindscape's leaking, I'm not well.
Count the corners: eight.
Count the seams: twelve.
Count the faces: nine.
Eight of these are not mine.
Two of these are not the walls.
My body breaks when it falls.
A solitary light dangles from the ceiling....

My Eyes
Peer into my eyes
Those that are pools of my soul
Every tear I've cried
Has a story that waits to be told
Feel my pain and see my struggle
Taste my desperation for approval
I'm just a bottle with emotions inside
Cap too tight, and shaken
On the outside, I look alright
Beaten, broken, and thrown away
Covered in dirt every single day
My mind lost somewhere in the fray
I'm lost, helpless prey
The helpless pray
To Gods above
Grabbed my body
My heart they shove
Into a jar full of...
Those that are pools of my soul

Covered in dirt every single day

Dinner
Silence as cold as a winter breeze
Blows over the table
The awkwardness
makes the air as thick as stew
the weight of eyes upon me
feels like the world is crushing down on my shoulders
yet I still feel your eyes hold the most weight
staring at me from across the table
you want to know what I'm thinking,
but I won't break
I'm sealed tighter than the world's greatest vault
yet more fragile than the most priceless vase.
I can't explain why I feel the way I do
wanting be by your...

Cold
Cold
Colder than a winter's night
My fingers blue
My teeth chattering
My skin goose pimpled like you wouldn't believe
And even if I found gasoline
I don't think it could warm me
Am I dead?
Am I dying?
Is there any point in trying?
My heart beats slower and slower
Every thump feeling weaker and weaker
Almost as if there was a drum in the distance
Getting farther and farther away
Silence
So quiet I hear my hair grow
No breath, no blood, no life is left in me
Just a cold and broken shell
Of what I used to...
Colder than a winter's night
My fingers blue
My teeth chattering
My skin goose pimpled like you wouldn't believe
And even if I found gasoline

Is there any point in trying?
My heart beats slower and slower
Every thump feeling weaker and weaker
Almost as if there was a drum in the distance
Getting farther and farther away
Silence
So quiet I hear my hair grow
No breath, no blood, no life is left in me

Weeping Willow Tree
Weeping Willow Tree,
you always look so down.
Your leaves are turned over.
And your bark wears a frown.
Oh, Weeping Willow Tree,
please don't look so gloom.
Soon it will be spring,
and your blossoms will start to bloom.
Weeping Willow Tree
please don't look so sad.
Just think of all the birdies,
surely that will make you glad.
Weeping Willow Tree,
I wish you wouldn't cry.
But I can never make you laugh,
no matter how hard I try.
Weeping Willow Tree,
I wanted to say I love you.
Because after all these...
you always look so down.
Your leaves are turned over.
And your bark wears a frown.
Oh, Weeping Willow Tree,
please don't look so gloom.
Soon it will be spring,
and your blossoms will start to bloom.
Weeping Willow Tree
please don't look so sad.
Just think of all the birdies,
surely that will make you glad.
Weeping Willow Tree,
I wish you wouldn't cry.
But I can never make you laugh,
no matter how hard I try.
Weeping Willow Tree,
I wanted to say I love you.
Because after all these...

Prayer
God,
can you hear me?
It's been a rough day,
and I wanted someone to talk to.
God,
do you love me?
Every time I try to pray,
I feel like my message never reaches you.
God,
do you care?
You see me struggle,
but yet you never lend a hand.
God,
is life just your dare?
It's like we are meant to run in circles,
just to be your "lambs"?
I'm down.
I'm out.
I'm in for the count.
I've kept my promise,
now where's your end?
The never ending love?
The grace?
The "always lending...

Love Poem - No.1
Cupid,
arrows readied
and aim steadied
Looking for two helpless victims
so that they may fall in love
Stupid,
romance is a trap
that's a fact
getting connected to another person
Til breaking up, is what one person is thinking of
Miss me with thy arrows of love
may they falleth to earth in fashion similar to a broken dove
smacking the did grind like a fallen glove
relationships, impossible to bethink of
Pardon My Shakespearean,
Love sucks,
anyone who falls for it
Is probably the farthest...

Grandma E.
I couldn't say goodbye
Now you fill my mind
I stay up all night
Tears fill my eyes
What hurts more
is that you didn't remember me
or the nights I visited you
Just to make sure you had somebody
And Dad,
you thought he was you're son
He never corrected you
cause it would cause too much harm
You were ornery
And you were loud
But we still tried our best
to make you proud
Tell me, how's paradise
does it have warm seas
and sweet ice?
Is Grandma A. doing alright?
I...
