POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from the heart, the head, and the soul. Not perfect but I enjoy doing it.
Grow
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break through the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work it out
On who I'm meant to be
Dreaming of a brand new day
Hoping that I find my destiny
Lonely nights as I lay awake
Wishing for a way through the storm
My heart just seems to break apart
And my soul is simply torn
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break the barrier

Wishing for a way through the storm
My heart just seems to break apart
And my soul is simply torn
I'm always fighting these demons

Pain
I feel like absolute shit
Constant ringing in my head
I'm losing my mind
Not much more can be said
I feel like I'm dying
I'm losing all hope
I can't seem to sleep
No way for me to cope
I wish for peace
For the end of my life
For quiet to be found
To find a simple light
I'm depressed and alone
And I'm afraid I'm falling apart
Struggling to feel my own head
I'm losing my soul and my heart
Its hard for me to write
For me to tell my tale
For it hurts to be alive
My mind is...
Constant ringing in my head

For quiet to be found
To find a simple light
I'm depressed and alone
And I'm afraid I'm falling apart
Struggling to feel my own head
I'm losing my soul and my heart
Its hard for me to write
For me to tell my tale
For it hurts to be alive
My mind is...

Political
Trying to keep people apart
Dividing the black and the white
Making us hate each other
Explaining what's wrong and what's right
When in reality, we are similar
We all got a lot of issues
Personal shit we can't explain
We all have our miscues
You are either red or blue
Told that you are racist or crazy
That you either love others
And that your mind is getting hazy
Grouping one into all
Trying to scare us into hatred
Giving all the evil news
And what they give is so sacred
All we see is...

Questioning myself
I question my purpose
My life i seem to lead
I try to vanquish the darkness
And try to plant a seed
But when you don't believe
Or understand who you are
Trying to be a better man
But not knowing where to start
So I write words and feelings
Upon this simple page
To let my thoughts out
I open the cage
Trapped in my own head
Lost in an endless maze
Trying to go to sleep
As I hope and I pray
That I can find my own destiny
That I can begin
My journey toward the path

Divide
I get a premonition
My dreams come to fruition
Call it intuition
I'm filled with ammunition
On a main mission
I get into position
Gave an imposition
I'm fighting my apparition
All the opposition
I make a proposition
To start this expedition
To begin the ignition
Everyone's a politician
The singing musician
The genius mathematician
The card playing magician
Not in juxtaposition
You need ones permission
Hard to find ambition
When you go into remission

Control
A voice beckons me forward
Towards a sea of darkness
Heartless I fall below
As I can't control or seem to harness
The carcass of my mind
Can't find peace from within
I begin my search beneath
I release in the wind
I ascend through the storm
Sworn to break my own cage
Enraged I fall deeper
Steeper, alone in this cave
Afraid ill be long gone
This song is unheard
One word is all it takes
I break beyond the herd
Lines blurred curtains drawn
Dawn falls upon the shadow
A battle...

Enraged I fall deeper
Steeper, alone in this cave
Afraid ill be long gone

Lines blurred curtains drawn

Broken Pieces
I can't think of anything happy
Always felt alone
Even when loved by a few
I was always trapped in stone
Hated myself and my demons
Tore myself completely apart
Couldn't ever be reached
Lost my soul, can't mend my heart
My father was never there
And when he was, he scared us all
If I'm a demon, he was the devil
I always seemed to fall
We all have our pain
But some don't allow it to break the sky
I was angry and felt betrayed
I was hurt but couldn't cry
The mountains on my...

I was hurt but couldn't cry

Train
A man gets on a train
Sits and checks his phone
Looks around the place
Notices hes all alone
A voice rings out and says
"Where do you want to go"
"I'm not quite sure" you said
I never really know
The train then stops right there
And the door begins to open
A shadow takes a seat
But nothing ever spoken
It then reveals its face
And you see yourself from the past
You wish you could go back in time
That this moment it could last
But quickly it begins to vanish
And all you see is a box ...

A curse
I've always struggled to belong
Seen myself as a curse
Felt like I was entrapped in darkness
With no light to begin my search
I feel alone even with others
Lost within my mind
No road for me to take
No hope for me to find
Its hard to believe in yourself
When all you see are your mistakes
Afraid to take a chance
And when you do, the path it breaks
A neverending nightmare
Of all your pain and your regret
Your own worst moments
Replayed on the TV set
Fighting for a home
But all...

Acrostic poem Resubmission
Adam and Eve
Dreams you see
Victory is near
Ended by fear
Never give
Take it, live
Understand your reason
Remake the season
Errors we will make
Stuff we will take
Write your story
It could end in glory
Live within you
Let yourself do
Maybe you could be
And then you could see
Keep on dreaming
Even when hope is leaving
Let yourself go
Invite thought flow
Find the road
Even when cold
...

Distant Horn
Lonely nights as you lay awake
Can't seem to sleep as your mind won't rest
Head filled with pain and broken dreams
Its hard to breathe, can't feel your chest
Emotions running around a racing track
Lost and depressed, you fall behind
The car slows down and just breaks apart
The fuel to move on is hard to find
The pictures on the wall just seem to fade
As the night is cold, the wind is strong
Blown away and forgotten by all
The mermaids sing a siren song
Darkness devours you from deep within

Doubted
Doubted continously
And its hard to believe
When your own family hates
On the life you lead
I don't got the confidence
Yes I'm a mess
But I got dreams of my own
But yet I'm repressed
Stuck in a room
Told I need help
That I can't do it
Thats all that I've felt
I got issues because of it
But yet I'm a demon
I'm the only one wrong
That's all im receiving
I don't know what to do
I'm lonely as hell
No friends or family
I'm alone in the well
Tired of all this pain ...
