POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Not a poet, just a kid.
Deathmaster (From the Wishmaster competitiom)
Double bouble toil and trouble.
Raise the bodies from the rubble.
Break the bullets, heal the bones.
Break the man who broke my home.
Feel the magic, raise the dead.
Put a bullet in his head.
Seek revenge, bide my time.
Bring my family back to life.
Feel him fighting. Feel his pain.
Raise my friend back from the grave.
Spill his blood to get revenge.
Hold my brother's hand again.
I want one man gone.
By my own hand.
I want to bring back one.
And have a family again.
He'll be different.
He'll be dead. ...

Throne of Glass
When the war is won, the kingdom dead.
With the rhinestone crown on my head,
I'll sit down on my throne of glass.
Waiting for the next attack.
My pretty guards with pretty swords.
My funny jester's funny words.
I know one day my throne will fall.
There is no comfort in these walls.
Made of mirrors that change what we see.
I see an imposter staring back at me.
Her hair is grey. Her skin turned white.
Dark bags have formed around her eyes.
These wall can say a great many things.
Warnings, secrets, horrid stories.
I wonder what they will...

Four Years
Its been so long since you left.
I forgotten how you sound.
How you look. Who you are.
Ive changed so much.
Would you still love me?
Would you hate who I am?
Do I still look like you?
I can't tell. I hope I do.
Four years.
Fours years to the day.
I feel like I'm losing you a little more every day.
Losing your face.
Your words.
Losing the way you talk.
Losing more of you every day.
Four years.
I hate myself.
You wouldn't like that but its true.
Nobody knows but me.
In the blur of the painful memories,

I look myself in the mirror and I don't feel bad.
And that scares me now more than it ever has.
Am I a monster? Am I insane?
Cause I dont feel the guilt and I like the pain.
It scares me sometime that I could be this way.
Knocks the air out of my lungs and steals my words away.
Am I a monster? Am I going insane?
Cause I would give my own life or take it, all the same?
I look into the mirror and I don't see a soul.
Because I am a monster. I am broken. Not whole.
And this hole in chest, did I ever have a heart?
I can't find it anywhere, and...

Fairy Tales
Fairy tales don’t exist. And they won’t help you now.
No magic beans or charming prince. No little elves to help you out.
You can make a wish on a shooting star but should know it won’t get you far.
There is no far far away. There’s just this earth and this day. No happily ever after. Just heart break and pain. just heart break and pain.
‘Cause fairy tails don’t exist and they wont help you now.
there are no fairy godmothers to make your dreams come true.
no Cinderella stories. Just this earth and you. just this earth and you.

Into The Abyss
If I go, I take you with me.
Only to push you back in the arms of the one you love.
Because if I go, I don't want you to see me.
See me cry as I fall into darkness below.
As I fall, I'll watch you weeping.
Words you never said stuck to your lips.
If I go, oh if I go,
you'll be the only one I want to know.
Words you never meant stuck to you lips
like a deadly kiss.
As I slip into the abyss.
If I go, I take you with me.
Only to push back into the arms of the one you loved.
Because if I go, I want to see you.
See you safe and sad and...

A Million Nights
I've had a million sleepless nights.
My wings are gone but my thoughts take flight.
I remember dark skies caving in around me.
I remember red tears falling to the ground.
Glass moments hit the ground and shatter.
Wings fail and feathers forms the clouds.
Blood paints the air as I fall.
The sky rains and I don't want it to stop.
Oh.
I've had a million sleepless nights.
My wings are gone, but the birds take flight.
I remember black skies, falling in around me.
I cant see through red tears,
But I'm falling to the ground.

Poison
I poisoned my blood and led you to drink.
And when you were done, my blood became became ink.
I wrote you a note, for if you woke up.
I wont say I was sorry, cause I never was.
Everything is different but nothings really changed.
And everybody's changing, but we stay the same.
I poisoned our love, but you didn't even take a sip.
I was slowly poisoned, and i quickly lost my grip.
So I wrote you a letter written in blood.
Oh I was addicted, and you were my drug.
You said you were sorry, but you were too late.
You were my poison, there's only...

War
A million years have come and past.
War is the only thing made to last.
And the Love you feared has died away.
And your heart of gold has turned to grey.
The goodness in your soul depart.
Your Love is gone, and stole your heart.
And everything, all that remains,
is a jealous monster fueled by pain.
And a burning hatred took your soul.
A bitter envy filled the hole.
Glowing embers melt the gold.
Stories of war, forever old.
Sticks and stones break through the past.
Mirrors lie just break the glass.
Scars of battles, long since won, ...

If I say sorry, will you leave?
If I cover it up, will it still bleed?
Go get yourself a bottle, like you like to do.
Drink yourself silly, forget who's who.
Get your self coffee. Brush your teeth.
No one will know. Nobody but me.
Hang onto your bottle, drink till its dry.
Listen to music that makes you cry.
You stopped being a parent, so why do you care?
When I needed you most, you weren't there.
Go on. Go away. Go back to your pills.
Take another drink, I know that you will.
I won't buy your smokes or your drinks or your drugs.

Broken
Broken Windows.
Broken Homes.
Daddy's Angry.
At Mommy's Ghost.
Always Sorry.
Always Ashamed.
Tender and Shy.
And Tired of Pain.
Don't say a word.
Be as quiet as death.
Don't make a sound.
Don't take a breath.
Fear to anger.
Anger to Hate.
Wake up early.
Go to bed late.
Grow up quickly.
Get old fast.
Die too young.
Live to fast.
Not in heaven.
Not in hell.
Has no rest.
And never will

Shattered
Hearts on fire. Burning Love.
Peace in war. Pitch Black Doves.
Shattered Glasses. Broken Bones.

Silent Thunder. Wakes The Dead.
Paper Written. Blood Of Ink.
Clouded Mind. Cannot Think.
Poisoned Water. Happy Pain.
Sharp Like Razors. Blood Like Rain.
Saying Sorry. Its a lie.
Goodnight baby. Say goodbye.
