POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write what I feel when I feel it. It may not be a masterpiece,but it's in black and white. That's all that matters.
Wake up world
The Sun rises
reviving anything
That's living.
Birds awake
and start to chorus
Their sweet melodies.
Morning's arrival
has now been
Royally announced.
reviving anything

Birds awake
and start to chorus
Their sweet melodies.
Morning's arrival
has now been

Majestic creature
Fierce and fearless
A gift from nature
With beauty so ageless
Oh, fair Snow White
Lend me your coat
To make me look bright
To give me way to gloat

Would You Like Some?
Is it just me or does
it look like some females
overdose on make-up?
I don't mean to be
rude insensitive or
inconsiderate but
...they cake it on
Like,if one were to
brush one's finger
across their face it
would look like it
was dipped in vanilla
frosting
And I've noticed that
black eyes (smered on
eyeliner rather) seem
to be a hit like they're
all pushing for the "emo"
look
And what of that lipstick
that looks like it's
been over-heated and
it's about to drip non-stop...

Happy Thoughts
An image of him leaving you for her appears...
Shred it!
Shred it quickly!
Replace it.
With a clear blue sky.
With the sun's rays kissing your fair skin.
An image of a loved one dying appears...
Burn it!
Burn it quickly!
Replace it.
With a peaceful walk on the beach.
With your toes digging into the hot, white sand.
An image of bloodshed appears...
Stab it!
Stab it quickly!
Replace it.
With warm smiles on random faces.
With contagious laughter.
An image of you drowning appears...
Strangle it!...
Shred it!
Shred it quickly!
Replace it.
With a clear blue sky.
With the sun's rays kissing your fair skin.
An image of a loved one dying appears...
Burn it!

Stab it!
Stab it quickly!

With contagious laughter.

Drumming Noise Inside My Head
Shhh! Listen...
Don't you hear it?
It makes such an almighty sound!
Just try...
Listen carefully...
Still can't hear it?
Hmm...
(I guess the sound of my heart beating for you
ISN'T loud enough...)
Nevermind.
Carry on with your life.
I guess I'm hearing things.
Indeed,I am.

IMPOSTOR!!!
She walks like me
She talks like me
She sounds like me
She dresses like me
She looks like me
She even smells like me
But she isn't me
She's rude
She's mean
She's vain
Not to mention egocentric
She's an attention seeker
She doesn't think before she speaks
She hurts my friends
She tries to fit in
She's a true bitch by definition
She's a ghost in my body
She sighs in my sleep
She wraps herself around my tounge and she speaks
She walks with my legs
She touches with my hands
Don't listen to...

Goodnight, Dear Friend, And Goodbye
That night, he silently went up to his room and locked it.
He made sure of it.
He sat at the foot of his bed, with a razor in his hand, and medidated.
He thought of how his father blamed him for his mother's death.
('Cause see, she died while giving birth to him.
And his father has never been able to forgive him.)
He thought of how much his father loathed him.
How much his father enjoyed beating him up.
('Cause see, his father was a drunkard.
And he was drunk 24/7 as brandy was his bread and water.)
He thought of how...

Close To Nothing
Darkness
That's all I see
Empty
That's how I feel
There's a hole
A hollow part where my heart used to be
I feel numb
If numbness can be truly felt
Ironic,isn't it?
How one can feel numbness
But I do feel it
Each and every day
I'm drawing nearer to it
My biggest fear
I'm getting closer
Closer
To
Being
Nothing
That's all I see
Empty
That's how I feel
There's a hole
A hollow part where my heart used to be
I feel numb
If numbness can be truly felt
Ironic,isn't it?
How one can feel numbness
But I do feel it
Each and every day
I'm drawing nearer to it
My biggest fear
I'm getting closer
Closer

Being

My Sincere Apologies
I want so badly to give you my heart
I want you to keep it safe for me
To keep it warm
To make sure that it still beats faster everytime you're near me
I want you to teach it how to love unconditionally
To give it a reason to trust
To teach it to be a better judge of character
And to let it know that you will guard it with your life
But,I can't
I can't because I don't have it with me
See this hole in my chest?
Yes,where blood is pouring out?
I gave it to someone a while back
I gave it to him to keep it safe and he failed...

Misunderstood
When they look at me they see a teenager with an attitude problem.
They see all my faults,all my flaws and all my weaknesses.
What they do not see is how their life decisions have affected me,
How their ignorance has damaged me;
And how their inability to acknowledge their own faults has turned me against them.
They do not see all the tears that roll down my face.
They can not see past this happy-go-lucky facade that I have managed to master over the years.
All my pain along with the secrets of my world do not exist to them
Because all they see is a...

Why Won't You Meet Me Halfway?
I stand here,all alone,with my heart
enveloped in my hands. I stand
here,in an unfamiliar territory,waiting
for you to meet me halfway - but you
never do. Tears stroll down my face,
each tear drop bearing heavy pain
from deep down within me. You
ask me what's wrong,wiping the evidence
of my torment from my face. My reply,
short and sweet,re-assures you that I'm
perfectly fine. You don't seem to bother
trying to fathom that moment of my
outburst. You carry on with your life
as though you've got no care in the
world. I,on the other...
