POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't have one style. Sometimes my poems rhyme, sometimes they have alliteration or just a simple rythm or none of the above. I like writing relatable poems.

New year
I was brave for once
And now I am so proud
Of everything I've achieved
For letting myself speak out
For growing and changing
And now I can say without a doubt
Just be yourself and live out loud!
No clue who I am
Or where I'm meant to be
But I feel like I'm on the road
On the road to becoming happy
I found friendship and love
It took me so long to see
That I decide my fate, not them, me
So the year ends
And to tell you the truth
I don't think I'm ready
I'm going to get a whole new
year with...
And now I am so proud
Of everything I've achieved
For letting myself speak out
For growing and changing
And now I can say without a doubt
Just be yourself and live out loud!
No clue who I am
Or where I'm meant to be
But I feel like I'm on the road
On the road to becoming happy
I found friendship and love
It took me so long to see
That I decide my fate, not them, me
So the year ends
And to tell you the truth
I don't think I'm ready
I'm going to get a whole new
year with...

Keep me guessing
I guess it's not the same
I guess it's not equal
No give and take
Trust, devotion, passion, freedom
Equal right?
No, but it should be
The stars have aligned
The world has turned your way
The future is wide open
So why do you just turn your back?
Why can't you face me?
Look at me!
I'm here
I'm scared
I'm broken
Just one look and I can pick myself up
Just one real touch
Just one moment
That's all I ask of you
It doesn't have to be equal
I just need to know it's...

Just one look and I can pick myself up
Just one real touch
Just one moment
That's all I ask of you
It doesn't have to be equal
I just need to know it's...

Wow
I made a real friend today
Isn't that crazy?
He likes me
I like him
That's it
That's great
We talked for like two hours
Online but still
I could have gone my whole life
Never really knowing this person
But I didn't
I showed interest
He showed me the same
Isn't that awesome?
We just had that moment of connection
Of honesty and empathy
That's what makes us friends
Isn't that just great?
Isn't that crazy?
He likes me
I like him
That's it
That's great
We talked for like two hours
Online but still
I could have gone my whole life
Never really knowing this person
But I didn't
I showed interest
He showed me the same
Isn't that awesome?
We just had that moment of connection
Of honesty and empathy
That's what makes us friends
Isn't that just great?

Therefore I am
This is true
This is what they meant
All the poets, writers and musicians
They all tried to capture this
Nothing can compare
Nothing is as bright
As light, as pure
You are my cure
For sadness, loneliness and fear
That's why we're here
This is how it's meant to be
There's no doubt in my mind
This can only be defined
By one word we hear in every song
One word, only four letters long
One word, too many times lied about
One word, I find so hard to pronounce
I don't know what the future has in store
I...

Nothing changes
Every evening feels the same
I'm alone in my room
And I just feel sad
There's no reason
And every day I want to change that
And I thought I could
If I just worked harder
If I just went out more
If I just talked more
If I could just have you
I did it
I achieved my goals
I won, right?
So why am I still here?
Alone in my room, writing poems
Sad, close to tears
There's no reason
I'm alone in my room
And I just feel sad
There's no reason
And every day I want to change that
And I thought I could
If I just worked harder
If I just went out more
If I just talked more
If I could just have you
I did it
I achieved my goals
I won, right?
So why am I still here?
Alone in my room, writing poems
Sad, close to tears
There's no reason

What's worse?
Is it worse to be hated or to be forgotten?
Is being burned really worse than to fade away?
Is it selfish to think otherwise?
Rumors turn into stories and stories to legends
A little piece of immortality
They'll be known to people who haven't met them
It's not hero versus villain
It's villain versus side character
We all know hatred in some way
Irrelevance is way scarier
Power comes with being feared
No such power comes to the people who disappear
Guilt lasts just as long as regret
Neither matters when you're dead
Is being burned really worse than to fade away?
Is it selfish to think otherwise?
Rumors turn into stories and stories to legends
A little piece of immortality
They'll be known to people who haven't met them
It's not hero versus villain
It's villain versus side character
We all know hatred in some way
Irrelevance is way scarier
Power comes with being feared
No such power comes to the people who disappear
Guilt lasts just as long as regret
Neither matters when you're dead

Underneath
There is this girl,
well she is me
so angry at the world
cause they don't see
There is more than
What's right in front of you
She likes to laugh
Of course she does
Never showed her friends
Who she really was
It's all just shallow
God, if they only knew
But with you I dive deeper
Finally found what's underneath
and oh my god it's beautiful
A coral reef with a million fishes
All those colors dreams and wishes
Water so clear now I can see through
And all of this is...
well she is me
so angry at the world
cause they don't see
There is more than
What's right in front of you
She likes to laugh
Of course she does
Never showed her friends
Who she really was
It's all just shallow
God, if they only knew
But with you I dive deeper
Finally found what's underneath
and oh my god it's beautiful
A coral reef with a million fishes
All those colors dreams and wishes
Water so clear now I can see through
And all of this is...

Those words
You're blind
You just don't know it
For you there's just the cold
just that mass of voices
If you knew how close I was to you
I can touch your hand right now
But I'm scared you'll panic
I can take some steps back
and raise my voice
Let the words fall out
Those words
You know which
No, that's bad
Those are worth a lot
And I've got to protect what I've got
I can't risk them getting lost
Even if I could open your eyes
Somehow show you what life can be
You wouldn't believe me
Because...
You just don't know it
For you there's just the cold
just that mass of voices
If you knew how close I was to you
I can touch your hand right now
But I'm scared you'll panic
I can take some steps back
and raise my voice
Let the words fall out

You know which
No, that's bad

And I've got to protect what I've got

Just an observation
Some things are perfect
Like rainbows
Like stars
Like sunsets
Like water droplets
Some things are perfectly imperfect
Like autumn leafs
Like trees
Like stones
Like fire
Some things are purely human
Like religion
Like money
Like morality
Like art
Like you
Like rainbows
Like stars
Like sunsets
Like water droplets
Some things are perfectly imperfect
Like autumn leafs
Like trees
Like stones
Like fire
Some things are purely human
Like religion
Like money
Like morality
Like art
Like you

Nighttime III
Please stay awake for me
Let me make this right
I know it was all my fault
But this is not our first fight
We have gone through so much
Even though we're far away
Who said 'meant to be' is easy?
Life is messy, chaotic and gray
I was honestly just angry
because you ignored my calls
Everyone told us this would fail
and I started to believe my hope was false
I don't know what I'd do without you
So please don't go
If we can make it through the night
I'll know it's more than a show
Please stay...

Nighttime II
Please stay awake for me
I really miss you
Now that we've only got our phones
Only a screen to kiss through
You've got the moon now
and I've got the sun
But I still want to talk
Because today I had fun
and I've made new friends
Who you should meet
Maybe then I'll be happy
Maybe then I'll feel complete
Do you think of me a lot?
Have you missed me too?
I want you to be happy of course
Just tell me if you've found someone new
Please stay awake for me
My fears are creeping in
I miss...
I really miss you

Thief
You took my words
Now my mind is blank
and I've got you to thank
for the white pages
You are now my only inspiration
My only muse
But it hurts to actually make use
of my feelings because it's a reminder
A flash to reality
One that I don't want
Like an endless taunt
How can I be a writer
When you have taken my sentences
Now I have to pay to get them back
With money I honestly lack
Sleep, food, attention, thoughts
It all goes to you now
Just so I can write this
