POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
As a growing poet, I appreciate whatever comments that anyone cares to give to help me grow.
The Daily Scar
I can't sleep, it seems,
The ache in my heart keeps me awake,
Hush now, dear friend,
How many times must the surface of my skin break?
Be satisfied though,
For the length of my arm is full,
So beautiful is this abstract art,
But its hard hiding it at school.
Others like me,
I have met before,
They're NOT doing it for attention,
Their hearts are truly torn.
Level 3 depression,
In the corner of that room,
At least she's reaching for help,
While I sit in gloom.
I hear things,
Catches of whispers and cold,...

Crying In The Dark
Under the cover of darkness,
Does the mask turn to dust,
Open the floodgates,
And let them rust.
Dark feelings resurface,
Hurt and betrayal,
When one feels all this,
Does he still believe in angels?
Memories appear,
That were long forgotten,
They bring chaos with them,
As you witness your own destruction.
Unleash those feelings,
For this moment, right now,
Under this cover of darkness,
To no one, you shall bow.
But when the light returns,
The mask will find its way back,
The gates will close,
And...

Home Bittersweet Home
Stripped of its memories,
The place that I once called home,
Its former glory, faded,
Now in ruins, its own tomb.
The overgrowth of undergrowth,
The rusted doors,
The collapsing pillars,
Hurts my heart right to its core.
The garden is all but gone,
The lemon tree's skeleton remains,
The periwinkles had went to sleep,
The sight of everything makes me weep.
The pine tree no longer stands,
Its scent no longer there,
My hiding place uprooted,
The memories are hard to bear.
The floor is filthy,
The paintings...

Till Death Do We Part
The roses cry,
The crickets sing,
People lie,
Spirits take wing.
The sunset is red,
The dead's tear is blue,
When I'm gone forever,
Who's going to look after you?
Babies grow up,
Corpses go down,
People get hurt,
Life goes round.
Well, you are here,
And I am not,
Do you still come here?
To my grave thats left to rot?
The moments of life,
That I've already lived,
Were not as bright,
As yours will soon become.
So live life to love,
To calm down the storm,
To see what's truly...

Hidden
Its all pointless,
Why try at all,
We were born to suffer,
From the moment we could crawl.
Would you call life, fair?
When you're just choking with pain,
Inner screams are drowned out,
While hopes and dreams are slain.
Left with nothing,
What could you feel?
Despair? Anger?
Or emotions unreal?
Fair warning,
Reality is where you are,
Control those emotions,
Or you won't get far.
Hide the hurt,
Hide your past,
Hide what you feel,
Put on that mask.
Soldier on and deceive,
The world around...

Numb
Slice through my skin,
Tear out my memory,
Bleed out my sorrow,
And leave me to be.
So numb is my limbs,
That I don't feel the pain,
Just scars and more scars,
Don't you dare call me insane.
My hurt becomes blood,
And leaks like a river,
This was never for the faint hearted,
When they see my condition, their lips start to quiver.
You have eyes but do not see.
Of what was truly happening to me.
Ignorance is bliss,
I know that quote well,
You could have saved me,
But you chose to be blind, that i could tell....

Oh My Sadist.
She sat by the shadows,
Under the rain,
No one noticed,
No one knew her pain.
Day after day,
She suffered alone,
From her ghostly pale lips,
She smothered a moan.
Gritting her teeth,
She faced the cold,
She dwelt in the darkness,
She had no where to go.
Just standing there,
For the darkness to take,
She almost stopped breathing,
Her life is at stake.
A few moments left,
Her memories flashed by,
She was dying, no doubt,
Its time to say goodbye.
The twilight in her eyes, ...
