POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my way of apologizing to myself.
The Words of My Heart
My vein affixed
to the soulless paper
and filled it
with my dark red words
It transported
my heart’s excessive emotions
to the thirsty paper
creating lines dripping
with pain
It drank it all in,
every drop
of my dark red blood.
Every single one of my emotions
My abstruse thoughts
filled in between the lines
of the poem
It was the first stanza
surely not the last
there were too many emotions to spill out
to the sympathetic paper
A stanza is not...

African Dream
We are the sky, but not the moon
We are the sun, but not the light
We are the black, and not the white
We are the voice, and not the sight
Black voice in white souls
Dark Sky and white stars
No moon, no sky
No sun, no light
No black and No white
oh.. No white oh..
We are the sky, but not the moon
We are the sun, but not the light
We are the black, but not the white
We are the voice, and not the sight
We are the sun, but not the light
We are the black, and not the white
We are the voice, and not the sight
Black voice in white souls
Dark Sky and white stars
No moon, no sky
No sun, no light
No black and No white
oh.. No white oh..
We are the sky, but not the moon
We are the sun, but not the light
We are the black, but not the white
We are the voice, and not the sight

The Powerless Stranger
I’m shaped by the people
By their thoughts
By their judgments
This is not my body
Hiding in this stranger, is me
No voice, no power
Their comments change this stranger every time
This stranger is not me, but i’m changing too
For it’s not the inside they see, but it’s the outside
It’s not me they see, but the stranger that they, themselves have created
Hiding in me, is this stranger
No voice, no power
I was never like this
Until their comments reached my ears
And shaped me up, to who i’ve become...

The Shadow of my Writing
I filled my heart on paper
And spilled my emotions
through the lines
You may read the words
But to really read them,
look at their shy meaning
hiding from behind
You may understand them
and you may also relate
But the poem is written for me
So if you didn't
there is no reason to hate
Took me hours to find
the perfect words
Singing through my mind
like the tweets of morning birds
Thoughts and emotions
won't leave me
until i've put them
on paper
And spilled my emotions
through the lines
You may read the words
But to really read them,
look at their shy meaning
hiding from behind
You may understand them
and you may also relate
But the poem is written for me
So if you didn't
there is no reason to hate
Took me hours to find
the perfect words
Singing through my mind
like the tweets of morning birds
Thoughts and emotions
won't leave me
until i've put them

The Return
Looking outside through the bars
Seeing the rest, flying through freedom
Every look outside leaves scars
For I think, i'm sitting in an asylum
The beast comes and opens the cage
Should I leave, am I free
I'm afraid, should I rage
Though the gates of heaven opened,
I'm still sitting in what I called hell
For freedom comes with no safety
Is this a new life, I can't tell
Forced to leave I flee,
like how I watched the others do
The feeling feels weird, I haven't flown for a long time
I watched them...

Name Calling
Every word they've said is a
bullet to my heart
Get a life, go die, i hate you
these words have torn me apart
Terrorist, creep, annoying,
these words have stayed in me until now
I cant give up for
i am not what they say i am,
I thought somehow
They ran away from me,
for they didn't want to catch my "disease"
If they came to close,
All the bad things i had, they would seize
Locked me out of the classroom,
Chanted out my name
"We hate you ____ " they screamed,
Well too bad...

If Only I Spoke Up
If I spoke, I'd regret it
But if I didn't, I'd regret it much more
Not speaking up, is something no one should ignore
Their words pile up
Onto your heart
And if you don't speak up,
It will tear you apart
Their words of hatred, will linger in your mind
As if someone is repeating the words, from behind
When you go home, Yet again you don't say a word
Because you keep thinking about what you heard
Is it true, do I not belong?
I'm so stupid, and I'm not so strong
You ask...

Ashes
I want my heart to burn with all the memories in it too
I want it to burn so i'll forget about you
But after the fire burns out, the ashes will remain
and in my heart they'll stay and drive me insane

The Solitary Rose
All the roses in the garden have bloomed except for one
One that has not yet seen the light of the sun
One that has been sitting in the darkness all these years
One that believes what it's heard from its ears
But now that flower has opened it's eyes
To see what it has heard all these years were lies
Now that flower stands proud, strong, and taller than the rest
Because it knows that it is truly the best
One that has not yet seen the light of the sun
One that has been sitting in the darkness all these years
One that believes what it's heard from its ears
But now that flower has opened it's eyes
To see what it has heard all these years were lies
Now that flower stands proud, strong, and taller than the rest

Behind the Walls
You've put walls around you that don't seem to collide
I'm not quite sure why, is it to hide?
Is it to keep everyone outside?
Which one is it I still can't decide?
Oh friend all you've done is stand there with pride
Now you're heart can't handle more that is why it wants to hide
Hide away from all these tears
Hide away from all these fears
Why did you put walls up that don't seem to collide?
You have a friend out there that can't seem to decide
Oh friend i know why you've put walls up to hide
...

Already Dead
I'm sitting and crying on my bed
Waiting until i'm dead
Then I figured that I was already dying
because a strong man dies when he starts crying

The Cup of Kindness
In him holds a transparent cup
where everyone can see
A cup filled with respect and honesty
A cup where some people are jealous of
A cup filled with precious characteristics
and other good stuff
Such as kindness, love
and manners too
Stuff that people have a few
Kindness is more a weakness than a strength
That is hurting his life for
quite a length
And others want to shatter his cup
So that his life can suffer
and just flare-up
The cup...
