POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart, the head, and the soul. Not perfect but I enjoy doing it.
Questions part 2
Do you question your choices?
Do you keep thinking about your mistakes?
Do you hear all those condescending voices?
Do you ask yourself why you are alone?
Sometimes life can feel unbearable
Sometimes the path you took was taken at the wrong time
Moments in life may feel extremely terrible
But there is no changing the cards you were given
I think about what I need to do
Do I keep trying even when it seems impossible?
Even when it hurts should I push through?
I don't know who I am meant to become
Your mind is a...

Words
I want to see the truth with my eyes
But my brain only sees the lies
I open my eyes and look for the sunrise
But instead I see something I don't even
recognize
I am truly someone in disguise
Because my true self is what I despise
My whole life I overanalyze
My thoughts are impossible to organize
Instead I begin to fantasize
My confidence leaves and my whole mind begins to paralyze
My abilities are hard to utilize
And then people begin to scrutinize
I start to apologize
But instead I antagonize
My hopes and...

Nothing is ever easy
What do I need to do?
I got no hope no dreams
No path or door to go through
Nothing is ever as it seems
I have no idea where to go
I have so much vision but can't see
I got ambition but no way to show
I got heart but no idea on who to be
Words flow from my mind
They keep me from going insane
My purpose is hard to find
My will is hard to sustain
I keep thinking about the past
Every day I'm fearing the unknown
I am left behind in last
I am forgotten and completely alone
The world won't...

Plants
What is a flower
What does it mean to take a cold shower
Moments lost as if in a tower
Going to ground to gain power
Petals of love always fly by
Roots always die
Tell me who am I
Simple photosynthesis I apply
Rain gives me endless joy
I feel just like a little boy
Don't play with me and act coy
Lying in the dirt simple things of soy
What does it mean to take a cold shower
Moments lost as if in a tower
Going to ground to gain power
Petals of love always fly by
Roots always die
Tell me who am I
Simple photosynthesis I apply
Rain gives me endless joy
I feel just like a little boy
Don't play with me and act coy
Lying in the dirt simple things of soy

Questions
Have you ever wondered about what to do
Travel far and wide trying to find that next clue
Tried to make yourself into something brand new
Tell yourself a lie and believe it's true
Look at yourself and not know who is who
And gather your thoughts and try to think things through
Time is always flying by
And we never stop wondering why
We spend moments on end just having a sigh
We tell ourselves we are ok and try not to cry
And then we pray to the big man in the sky
And we hope to to be happy when we eventually die ...

Blind
Have you ever sat in a pitch black room
Ever tried to look see if you can see your own hand
Ever look at the shadows around you
Ever feel like you are stuck in sand.
I have always wondered what it was like to be blind
What do they see
Do they see blackness or just shadows
Sometimes I wonder what that would be
Sometimes no sight is beautiful
It is a different type of sight
Imagine everything colorful
Now imagine that color without light
Maybe the most beautiful things we see are the things we don't see
At least...

Conflicted
War is more than just a fight
It is a repellant to the news we all see.
It is a conflict that has no end in sight,
Watch as people run and try to flee
Holding what you believed you would have forever,
In the blink of an eye, it's all gone
We are blind in our endeavors
We all fall victim to this master con
Pride is what makes the world spin
We take what we want, and we don't think of others
We dont even think of how bad this looks on us as men
The truth is we all fight like enemies not brothers

Darkness to light
Darkness Is all around me
I reach out but nothing's there
I try to look and see
But all I can do is say a prayer
The light shines out from a tiny place
Then it goes and you question why
You desperately try to find that light to chase
And when you can't you tell yourself a lie
What is the purpose of all of this
False hope I always fall for it
Expecting something nice but it becomes a miss
At this point I expect to lose and never get
You try to run away from your fear
But you are stuck you can't move
You...

Who am I
Who am I
Who are you
Look at the sky
Why is it blue
Living life
Ups and downs
Going day by day
and hoping to be found
The rain will fall
The sun will shine
Darkness will reign
Wanting life to be fine
Waking up
Walking around
Day will falter
But yet your mind will be wound
Do you remember
When as a kid
Life would go on
And you wouldn't think of what you did
Time will change
Heartache will come
But life will be there
When it is done
...
