POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
As a somewhat newer poet, I will not say if I am a good writer or a bad writer because I leave that to the viewers to decide for themselves. Everyone has different opinions, obviously, so for me to critique myself would be pointless.
Wer schön sein will, muss leiden
I always get these questions
"Why do you do it if you're skinny?"
"What's the point? It isn't that important"
Maybe not to you, but it is to me
The truth is a secret
when I shut the door behind me
I can eat whatever I want
as long as there is a bathroom nearby
Who wants to be beautiful must suffer
I will admit, it sometimes hurts
I cannot always stay awake or upright
yet, I still don't mind
One day I will be skinny
but when will I stop?
These are not your questions to answer
However, I will tell you...

No Longer
You have a lot of fucking nerve
every other day you start a fight
every other day you piss me off to the point
of thinking of ways to murder you
Thinking it, planning it,
the desire to follow through
You think you can win this psych war?
Know what you're fucking fighting for
No longer will I carry this guilt and shame
No longer will I wait for your approval
I fucking hate you, and I promise
This is the last time. I'm not crawling back
Fuck you and your thoughts of perfection
Fuck you and your ideal image of us
Fuck your...

I Won't See The Sun
It seems like I am expecting
for these clouds to fade away
it seems as if I'm hoping
to get out someday soon
One by one, we all became numb
we are the victims in our society's useless eyes
I won't see the sun again
pounding on the walls, bloody fists throbbing
Something is wrong with this world
it's obvious that we are struggling
there is no way out, an endless labyrinth
One by one, we fight ourselves to see another day
My fellow citizens are falling
sliding down the wall
only to stare into the vast pit of...

The Coming Of A New Kind
We sit here silent, the sequence breaks
Knowing the truth of this pointless game
Amino Acids prime, a terror so great
Dead shells, loud screams
Convicted bodies with a suicide dream
Crossfire, blood runs
My fate is sealing
Along with the rest of my kind
The fourth division spreading violent ground
Airstrikes cover the earth, rage fuels our passion
Your fate is sealed by the orders of your precious god
Get on your knees and bow down to me
Lethal flex, the ground shakes
Turrets spray through, I'm smiling on my knees
Where is your...

Imprisonment
Never did she think that the windows would open
The world is full of people, dull and others shocking
But instead of the fantasy, reality set in
As she realized the asylum is bloodied by sin.
Sitting in the center, her mind races
flashing through her mind, thousands of faces
eyes tighten, the walls begin to speak
whispers turn to screams as the wood floor creaks
the darkness toying with her broken mind, closing in
like a holding cell, hiding questions within.
Will she ever get out of this personal Hell?
Possibly, yet time will only tell...

Can't Take This
I'm falling apart in my mind
yet no one can notice by looking at me
all too busy to give me the time of day
I don't know if I can take this
My only home seems to be
in the bottom of every filled up ashtray
killing myself slowly
there's no point to continue pushing on
I'm slipping back into my old ways
old thoughts, old feelings, old actions
stone cold, turning bitter again
I don't want you to see this
No amount of cigarettes can numb me
I'm afraid that I am too far gone
No one can try to fix me
there is no point in...

Cemetery Paradise
These rusted bars can't hold me in
from the outside world, I am nothing more
than the quiet kid who only smiles
when no one looks at her.
I sit here writing in this book
of dreams that will never seem to exist.
These bars are decaying, i'm petrified
of these people who hate me
finding where I am hiding.
I need these people to go away
and never think to search for me
for I've taken shelter in this palace
to escape them all
With their filthy minds and vulgar sense of humor
they find beauty in things that are...

Nothing But Sheep
Strolling in packs
following pointless instructions
from the crackers herding us
throughout the same path
every fucking day
Some are brave enough to stray
others too brain-dead to think for themselves
finding a new side to the Hell on earth
leaving everything behind to recreate yourself
Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces*
the only place I live in
happiness comes from my isolation
within I take in the extent of my sins
Bitterness shuts me out from everyone
becoming numb and self-centered
I gave you my purity, everything...
