POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a Goth that feels that society is a total joke.
Traverse City State Hospital
Following a need for a third psychiatric hospital in 1885 the Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane was built. The first building was creatively named Building 50. Later the name was changed to Traverse City State Hospital but also linked to the hospital were the names Traverse City Regional Psychiatric Hospital, Northern Michigan State Hospital and Willow Lake State Hospital.
Between 1885 and 1924 under the supervision of Dr. James Decker Munson the institution expanded. Dr. Munson believed in “beauty is therapy” which meant patients were treated with kindness and comfort. Flowers...

Love May Be The Death Of Me
When We started dating
we were close. After six
months, you started pushing
me away. After you left me
because you decided you were
not happy with our relation,
I became devastated. The
suicidal thoughts started
and continue to this day.
Sometimes I still wish we
were together. I sometimes
reflect on our time together
and think of splattering my
brains all over the wall. I
feel as if I can never trust
another woman again. I was
born a lonely man and I'll
die alone. When I die, my
epitaph might read,
He died from...

Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre Still Scares The Hell Out Of Me
I had Seen Tobe Hooper's Texas
Chainsaw Massacre (1974) for the
first time when I was about nine
years old in 1983. Needless to say, it
scared The Hell out of me. It
still scares the hell out of me.
I guess what scares me is It is
somewhat based on a true story
or stories. The movie is some
what based on Ed Gien from
Plainfield Wisconsin and the
Wild Bill killer from New York
State. While most of the events
of the movie are put in for shock
value The movie is still scary as
hell to me.

Haunted apartment
One weekend while hanging out at my
friend Eric's apartment, I started
getting a feeling like someone was
standing behind me. When I turned
around, no one was there. Eric had
deleted the song thriller by Michael
Jackson off his computer. But at the
stroke of midnight, the song played
on his computer even though was
deleted off his computer a few hours
earlier. Eric said when he went in
his room to turn his computer he
witnessed a ghostly woman from the
1950's dancing in his room. She
disappeared after the song ended....

Hidden from the world
I see all the negative in the
world and stay hidden from
the world. I focus un the negative
in the world, and hide suicidal
feelings. I feel better off hidden
from the world. Feelings of ridicule
from other people keep me hidden. These
feelings burn in me like an inferno.

Why did you try to decieve and control me?
When we were dating, you almost had
me convinced that you cared. You almost
convinced that my feelings meant something
to you. Then you started trying to
control me. You tried telling me I would
quit smoking. You told me I had to sell
my weapons that were in my family for
generations. Why did you try to convince me
you were straight? Were you too embarrassed to
admit the truth? If you would have been
truthful and told me that you were lesbian,
we could have still been friends. I am
a straight man and want a nice woman
to be...

Northville Insane Asylum Gives Me the Creeps
I live outside of Detroit Michigan.
Well there is an old insane asylum
in Northville that is now run down.
It's boarded up and has been there
for years. Teenagers like to go in
there and mess around and do drugs.
Well I have been in that place and
it's creepy! As I was walking through
the tunnel and it leads to the old
asylum, well I was walking through
there as I heard screaming seeming
like it was far away but it echoed
so far. I got to the end of the tunnel.
As I walked to the asylum, I was with
friends-...

Chief War Head
According to legend, Chief War Head Believed the apache Indians were the superior race. He set forth to massacre all other tribes older than age four and raise the young as Apache Indians. One Night a Cherokee warrior slit Chief War head's throat and left him for dead. As he was dying, he spoke a curse saying, Who eves speaks my name the fifth time by an open fire will be driven insane or murdered before the morning light." Whether this legend is true or not, I can't say. My uncle was drunk as could be ( possibly even high on drugs.) when he told it to me.

Best Marilyn Manson Song Ever
Coma White
There's something cold and blank behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass in a miracle mile
'Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today to run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
She was waiting to fall
She was bleeding like a Polaroid
That lost all her dolls
'Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today,...

Ada Witch
Ada Cemetery - Ada witch - Sometimes you can see
a misty blue figure floating within a 3-mile radius
of the Ada Cemetery on 2 Mile between Egypt Valley
and Honey Creek. The story of her origin is as follows:
A man suspected his wife of having an affair, so he
followed her late one night when she thought he was
asleep. Sure enough, she went to a field near their
property where she met her lover. The husband was
enraged and killed his wife, which resulted in a
struggle with the other man. Both men died from their
injuries. It is said...

Death iknows no bounds.
Why do children face death so young?
A mall child playing out side, who
gets ran over and dies because the
motorist was too busy texting. Death
came too soon. Another senseless shooting
claims another child out of anger. Disease
like leukemia claims another child. Death
knows no age, belie, gender, or where people
happen to be. for some people death came too
early. For others death can't come soon enough.
When someone who has stage four cancer, they
pray for death, just to end the pain they are in.
