POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry for over 10 years now. I write about various feelings & experiences. Sometimes it's just what flows off my mind. I'm open to all feedback. I'm very open minded. Thank you for everything in advance! (:
I Smoke..
Yes, I smoke marijuana
But not just to get high
I love the good energy
All the positive vibes
I smoke so I can sleep
And also for my pain
Stay comfortably numb
So the demons go away
I smoke to uplift
My mood and my mind
I smoke to forget
All the tears that I hide
I smoke to see clearly
Though my eyes look hazy
My heart was once pure
But it's still kind of jaded
I smoke to calm the anxiety
I feel by just waking up
I smoke to ease the tension
Because reality is tough
...

Mental Illness Part 1
If you see me in the shadows
Out walking by myself
Don't think that I am creeping
I'm just thinking to myself
Spend many nights alone
Living in the dark
My life seems really easy
But it's no walk in the park
You see, I have anxiety
And I also have depression
But when you mix the two together
There are no fake expressions
Everything feels so intense
Your mind is constantly flowing
Jumbled thoughts and faded eyes
You speak without knowing
Because the voices take over
I've been up so...

But when you mix the two together
There are no fake expressions
Everything feels so intense

Jumbled thoughts and faded eyes
You speak without knowing

Mental Illness Part 2
I know that's not the answer
But it's all I've ever known
I wish I could take it back
To the days that I was sober
To the days my heart wasn't cold
And my soul wasn't black
The bitterness towards others
And the violent attacks
The outbursts of hatred
Towards those that I love
Then begging for forgiveness
From the man up above
It's not fair to them
It's not fair to me
How many wakeup calls
Do I really need?
Mixed with depression
With a dash of anxiety
Bipolar disorder
Together...
But it's all I've ever known
I wish I could take it back
To the days that I was sober
To the days my heart wasn't cold
And my soul wasn't black
The bitterness towards others
And the violent attacks
The outbursts of hatred
Towards those that I love
Then begging for forgiveness
From the man up above
It's not fair to them
It's not fair to me
How many wakeup calls
Do I really need?
Mixed with depression
With a dash of anxiety
Bipolar disorder
Together...

Missing Peice
Love me like no other
Show me I'm the only one
Don't bring up your ex
Because that's all said and done
I want to be your queen
The one you love the most
I don't want to play no games with you
So just pick up the phone
Tell me what I need to know
What I no longer feel
I haven't loved in oh so long
But I still know what's real
I could use a refresher
I've got an open mind
So tell me what I need to hear
I've already wasted to much time
Take me by the hand
Lead me in your direction ...

Tell me what I need to know
What I no longer feel

I've got an open mind

I've already wasted to much time
Take me by the hand
Lead me in your direction ...

Inconvenience
She's had enough,
Dwelling on the past
Friendships end,
Memories don't last
Life is to short
To keep looking back
But even the strongest
Sometimes needs assistance
We break down too
Without any forgiveness
Oh, pardon me I'm sorry
For being an inconvenience..
Dwelling on the past
Friendships end,
Memories don't last
Life is to short
To keep looking back
But even the strongest
Sometimes needs assistance
We break down too
Without any forgiveness
Oh, pardon me I'm sorry
For being an inconvenience..

Shore Story
Water trickling along the shore..
From the waves crashing abroad the horizon.
My shades are reflecting blue from the suns powerful rays.
That are beaming down slowly turning my pale skin slightly brown.
As the heat intensifies,
I can feel all the toxins flowing freely out of my body.
Like with each breathe I take,
The salty air cleanses my lungs.
As the smoke rolls between my lips.
From the sticky green leaf that heals and uplifts.
Sitting on the rocks,
Watching the sun slowly set.
Letting go off all negativity that has lead to...
From the waves crashing abroad the horizon.
My shades are reflecting blue from the suns powerful rays.
That are beaming down slowly turning my pale skin slightly brown.
As the heat intensifies,
I can feel all the toxins flowing freely out of my body.
Like with each breathe I take,
The salty air cleanses my lungs.
As the smoke rolls between my lips.
From the sticky green leaf that heals and uplifts.
Sitting on the rocks,
Watching the sun slowly set.
Letting go off all negativity that has lead to...
