POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am not a poet, I am dark. I am alone. I do not have emotions anymore. Perhaps I am a true version of walking dead.

Once
Once I was beautiful to myself.
There was the beauty that others saw
But there was a real beauty in me.
Deep down I was a person I really liked.
I wonder where she is now?
Once I liked myself.

Dose Me
The dosage goes up
The dosage goes down
My thoughts are spinning round and round
To many things hidden deep in me
Stuff my family hates to see
There are parts of me good and bad
Sometimes happy...mostly sad
They look at me and close their eyes
"Can't you be like other guys?"
To sick to stay, not enough to go
Hidden away in an empty home.
The doctors look and poke and prod
Finally giving up to ask their God
A hopeless case they have labeled me
Never once looking past what I want them to see
...

Worried?
Are you ever afraid of losing me?
Do you worry I might find another?
That I might fall out of love?
That we might grow apart?
That my heart may die?
Are you ever afraid of losing me?
Do you wonder where my mind is?
Do you worry where my eyes look?
Do you wonder what my heart sees?
Are you worried I might scare myself?
Are you ever afraid of losing me?
Are you scared to reach out and find me gone?
To find my side of the bed cold and empty,
Just like my heart.
Are you ever afraid of losing me?
That I will retreat into...
Do you worry I might find another?

Alone
It starts deep in my heart
A feeling of anger, agitation, frustration.
It builds and I try to suppress it.
My mind tries to calm me with no success.
I am surrounded by emotions I cannot control.
The doubts and fears coming rushing to the surface.
A silent scream escapes.
Hands outstretched to nothing.
I am alone with this.
A feeling of anger, agitation, frustration.
It builds and I try to suppress it.
My mind tries to calm me with no success.
I am surrounded by emotions I cannot control.
The doubts and fears coming rushing to the surface.
A silent scream escapes.
Hands outstretched to nothing.
I am alone with this.

Wait
Wait for me my love,
When I run from the love you offer me.
Hold my hand my love,
As I try to figure out the things that scare me.
Understand me my love,
As I work through the doubts that plague me.
Talk to me my love,
When I am so overwhelmed I cannot speak.
Love me my love.
Because my love is worth the wait.
When I run from the love you offer me.
Hold my hand my love,
As I try to figure out the things that scare me.
Understand me my love,
As I work through the doubts that plague me.
Talk to me my love,
When I am so overwhelmed I cannot speak.
Love me my love.
Because my love is worth the wait.

Reflection
I look at my eyes in front of me,
A faint reflection in the glass.
I hear but I do not see,
For I am only a reflection.
A faint reflection in the glass.
I hear but I do not see,
For I am only a reflection.

Remember me.
I wrote this after my son Chris passed..
Should something happen to me should I die.
Be happy for me please don't cry.
I don't want people lined up to look and stare.
That's not me I'm no longer there.
Close the casket don't look upon.
I'm in your heart that's where I've gone.
So close your eyes and squeeze them tight.
I'm with you darling every night.
I'm in your heart, this you know.
Forever baby my love will grow.
Up in heaven, with wings on high.
One day reunited with all my guys.
So when...
Should something happen to me should I die.
Be happy for me please don't cry.
I don't want people lined up to look and stare.
That's not me I'm no longer there.
Close the casket don't look upon.
I'm in your heart that's where I've gone.
So close your eyes and squeeze them tight.
I'm with you darling every night.
I'm in your heart, this you know.
Forever baby my love will grow.
Up in heaven, with wings on high.
One day reunited with all my guys.

Shhhhhh......
Ignore the whisper of my tears,
For I encompass all your fears.
Quiet or they may notice the breeze,
A barely audible sound, a plea.
A deadly quiver passes through,
Bogged down by thoughts of you.
Do not waken what lies within,
For deadly thoughts will be again.
A faint scream comes from closeness lips,
An ice cold touch from frozen tips.
Shhhhh....do not hear my strangled thoughts,
Upon which death has brought.
Vines entwine my misted sphere,
Ever close, but never near.
No noise, no sound, no...
For I encompass all your fears.
Quiet or they may notice the breeze,
A barely audible sound, a plea.
A deadly quiver passes through,
Bogged down by thoughts of you.
Do not waken what lies within,
For deadly thoughts will be again.
A faint scream comes from closeness lips,
An ice cold touch from frozen tips.
Shhhhh....do not hear my strangled thoughts,
Upon which death has brought.
Vines entwine my misted sphere,
Ever close, but never near.
No noise, no sound, no...

Dreams
Your image floats in my mind like a gentle caress.
I am wrapped in your essence,
A calming warmth.
I close my eyes and sleep,
For even though we are apart, you are with me.
I am wrapped in your essence,
A calming warmth.
I close my eyes and sleep,
For even though we are apart, you are with me.

Prayer
Dear God, please let the ghosts in my head rest.
Allow me to forget the nightmare that is mine.
Let me close my eyes and see no more.
Allow my breath to cease its tourtured draw.
Let my body rest forever undisturbed.
So my soul can fly once again.
Let these things that give me unrest die,
So that I may live again.
Allow me to forget the nightmare that is mine.
Let me close my eyes and see no more.
Allow my breath to cease its tourtured draw.
Let my body rest forever undisturbed.
So my soul can fly once again.
Let these things that give me unrest die,
So that I may live again.

Demon
Do you hear it?
It's in my room.
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Please make it go away.
Can't move, can't breathe.
Thy kingdom come.
It's closer.....please help me God!!
It's watching me.
It shall be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Make it stop, make it go away.
It's waiting for me to fuck up this prayer.
Give us this day our daily bread.
I can feel it getting closer,
Don't move don't open eyes.
Forgive us of our trespasses
As we forgive those who...
It's in my room.
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Please make it go away.
Can't move, can't breathe.
Thy kingdom come.
It's closer.....please help me God!!
It's watching me.
It shall be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Make it stop, make it go away.
It's waiting for me to fuck up this prayer.
Give us this day our daily bread.
I can feel it getting closer,
Don't move don't open eyes.

Awakened Girl
I'm not so confused anymore,
No longer the little girl that looked for approval
In all things intangible.
I glare back with a fierceness
That I did not know I possessed.
I know who I am.
Do not try to change me,
For I like what I see.
No longer the little girl that looked for approval
In all things intangible.
I glare back with a fierceness
That I did not know I possessed.
I know who I am.
Do not try to change me,
For I like what I see.
