POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am very new to putting my feelings down on paper, if I call it a poem then people that read it dont freak out. I never knew I could write, I never tried. My life has not been my own for a long time and I am learning who I am

Draw
Draw me
Draw me
Closer
Pull me to you
Please tell me what's next
Draw me
A bath
I will soak in
All the words that you say
Draw me
A picture
Show me the way
A map to the answers
I'm going to draw
Draw back the arrow
I am soaring forward
Landing where he commands
Draw me
Closer
Pull me to you
Please tell me what's next

A bath
I will soak in
All the words that you say

Show me the way
A map to the answers
I'm going to draw
Draw back the arrow
I am soaring forward
Landing where he commands

I know a girl
Well a woman
With the heart of an angel
Her angel heart
Is a tightrope
Each step, each decision
She can fall in despair or
Fall in love
She is an expert on loving
Letting go
Thats something you can't learn
You just aim to survive
She is no victim
What an important role
Being a survivor of a Tuesday
God put us here,
In these times.
Should we know what to do?
She says "takes these steps"
1. Pray
2. Listen
3. Shed tears

New Peace
New Peace
I had pretty much
given up on it all.
Happiness. Dreams. Life.
I know He's there,
But did God hear me??
Screaming as loud as I could
with the volume down.
Yes. He did.
I didn't hear,
No,I didn't listen.
Just wait, just wait my daughter.
Power and Love
Might as well, add

Power in knowing that
I have no power.
Just the decision to surrender.
It's all Him.

Bullet Wounds
Bullet Wounds
Have you ever been shot?
I am not a candidate
Likely to get asked that question
I have been shot
Many times.
By many people
I have the scars to prove it
The one in my eye
Thats from all
The tears I have cried
This one, where my lung is
So many times I felt
I would die because
My anxiety would not let me breathe
I have multiple holes in my head
The depression, bipolar, borderline
Keeping up with all the labels
Also, the bullets I wanted
To put there...

Rest in Peace
Rest in Peace
I wish to close my eyes.
Rest for an hour.
Rest til happiness.
Doubts arise, if that can
be found in this life.
On this earth.
Remember the last time,
I was happy?
Does your mind quiet for that?
Because mine is screaming,
"How do you think you can
make it through another night?"
My mind taunts me
Like a school yard bully,
double dog daring me
to end the pain.
I want the thoughts to stop.
At least slow down to a
walking pace. ...
