POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I love poetry. I've been writing since I was 16 (I'm 26 now), and I love to write about nature and life.
The Battle In My Life
I cry silently every day.
When I go to bed, I cry myself to sleep.
My tears flow like raindrops in a tropic storm.
My feelings are the hurricane.
Don't get my depression confused with laziness.
And don't get my life's confusion mixed up with rudeness.
I fight my own battles every day
for a reason to stay alive.
It's in my nature to roam and explore
new places I've never seen before.
It urts so much to be forced at home
in a town where I don't want to be.
I feel like a bird trapped in a cage.
Will...

What's Wrong With Me?
My mom got sick
when I was only 3.
Feeling scared and confused,
I asked if she was going to die
she told me,
“I will if I don't get this surgery.”
I was left to stay with grandparents
for weeks at a time,
wondering all day and night,
if I'd ever see my parents again.
Growing up an only child,
I have always felt alone.
I was left to play on my own,
my mom wanted me to be independent.
Maybe that's why I don't bond with my parents.
I always played with cousins and close friends;
they were the only ones...
when I was only 3.

The Voice Of Mother Earth
The sun shines when I'm happy
The moon glows when I'm calm,
The waves are strong when I'm sad,
Volcanoes erupt when I'm mad.
My voice is the wind,
when it's heard throughout the land.
Litter and violence makes me sick
I'm feeling mixed emotions about this.
I have a fever that's warming everything up.
I was kind enough to support life for you all,
Now please save me,
before it's too late.

Story Of My Life
If you look into my eyes,
will you believe what you see?
There's a story inside,
that's about to unfold.
You'll need the key to unlock it,
I keep it in my heart.
You'll have to earn it,
but only by my trust.
If I begin to cry,
will you feel it in your soul?
Will you take it to the heart?
If I told you a secret,
will you care enough to listen?
Will you keep your share of silence?
If I told you I'm a living soul,
will you understand what I've said?
I'm a human being,
can you believe that?
will you believe what you see?

Watching the news
makes me want to cry
I read it in the paper
and I can't stop asking 'why?'
An innocent one that has to die
I feel the tears in my eyes.
A family with a broken heart
the world we know,
is falling apart.
~~My Heart goes out to all the families who were victims of school shootings. ❤️ We HAVE to end this! I don't want to hear of another victim!!

Meditation High
I feel myself blast off
like a rocket going into space.
Surrounded by stars,
their twinkling beauty
is so divine.
~~Shortest poem I've ever wrote. Please be honest, how is it?

Through A Child's Eyes
Through a child's eyes
the world is a magical place
full of color and wonder
and the curiosity to run and explore.
Through a child's eyes,
everything is equal
with no room for judgement or hate.
Every color, every race, every species,
It's all a beautiful thing.
Through a child's eyes
the world is a free place
to laugh and play
where pure innocence take over
and love is all we need.

Fish
Swimming around in circles all day
making air bubbles float up
Not a care in the world.
Doing nothing
but eat, sleep, and swim.
What kind of life is that?
Being taken from its natural habitat
to be used as a moving decor.
They have such a short life span,
probably from their depression.

Don't We Have A Heart?
Why must we think
that we're the only living things
that have feelings,
and that have a soul?
Can't we hear the cry of a puppy,
when taken from it's mother?
can't we see the fear
In the eyes of a deer?
What about the cry of whales?
when we invade their only home?
Or a lobster,
being boiled alive
in extreme heat?
We continue to pray,
for our food,
for ourselves and for each other,
but what about the poor wildlife
that has to suffer
by our cold actions?
that we're the only living things
that have feelings,
and that have a soul?

Crazy Love
She looked at him with tear filled eyes
and said she couldn't take it anymore.
She said I'm sorry, but I have to go.
She walked out and left him alone.
Now he's scared, doesn't know where you are.
Didn't think you would go real far.
He's calling all over town
as he's driving all around.
How could this be?
Where can she be?
It's almost midnight
and he's worried to death.
Wondering if you're alright
he doesn't know
she booked a flight.
But now she's scared of being alone
she's so scared
she...
and said she couldn't take it anymore.

Lost Child
I seem to have lost my way
through the forest
as I play.
Alone and cold,
with no place to go,
I cry myself to sleep.
As I shiver in fear,
I hear a voice;
you calling my name.
A bright light,
shining upon me;
I'm so glad to see.
I was lost,
but now I'm found.
The tears go away,
and a smile is here to stay.
~~This probably needs some work (I just now wrote it), and I don't know what it needs, what do you think?

For My Future Children
Once all alone.
From this world,
I was lost.
But now I'm found.
The heavens,
heard me cry.
and sent a gift
that's from the stars.
You are the sun,
that brightens my day.
You're my world,
that takes the pain away.
You give me the reason
to live every day.
You're the reason,
for my smile to stay.
~~I just wrote from the top of my head. I love kids and I want to write something for my own kids that I can recite or sing to them after they're born someday. What do you think?
