POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a small crazy girl with a big heart. So as you can see my writing probably wont be as sweet.
Average Day in my head
What's the point?
You live to die
Youre pushed around
You struggle day in and day out
Those you love, destroy you
No one cares
No one gives a damn if you're losing your battle
No one wants to know if it doesn't benefit them
What's the point of caring?
What's the point of trying?
No one appreciates the effort
No one looks out for you
Even if you do everything you can for someone
They won't care, they will toss you aside like nothing
They don't care if you cry
They don't care if your dying inside
They will push you down and...

Sway
I'm not her, I'm me
Yet you treat me
Like if I was the one who made you bleed
Even as the nights drag on
You still shove me away
But yet say you love me with ease
Even as I wish to carve away the pain
Nothing seems to take it away
My screams fill the sky
As my agony is buried deep inside
All I do is try to change
To be this picture perfect goddess
you wanted to replace..
My heart won't stay locked away
Even as the pain makes me sway
I think I've lost my way
You make me smile
But yet I'll never be enough

Broken beyond repair
I sit here staring into space
As I feel the tears running down my face
As my words scramble to find their place.
I feel nothing yet I feel everything
I am alive while my soul is dead
Just searching for my place
Amongst the broken glass beneath my feet
I walk with no where to be
As you broke me down
Forced me down
Watch the agony fill my face.
As the hope drained from these very eyes
You said you would never cause my pain
I opened a world to you
One you once knew
But you decided to break me
like if I was the one in...
As I feel the tears running down my face
As my words scramble to find their place.
I feel nothing yet I feel everything
I am alive while my soul is dead
Just searching for my place
Amongst the broken glass beneath my feet
I walk with no where to be
As you broke me down
Forced me down
Watch the agony fill my face.
As the hope drained from these very eyes
You said you would never cause my pain
I opened a world to you
One you once knew
But you decided to break me
like if I was the one in...

Beaten into Submission
At first everything was just perfect
Then my parents found out
Said that Boy better not come knocking
So I kept him one big secret
Started going to his house
Then one day everything changed
We were sitting there relaxing
Then my phone just started buzzing
My ex had just started to text me
So he went up in a rage
Calling me every name
Pushed me against the wall
Said he'd rather see me fall
His words were so convincing
I thought it was all my fault
He left so many marks
Bruised so many parts
Finally I decided to put a...

I've always loved you
I've always loved you
I knew you were the one meant for only me
You've opened my eyes to happiness
Something I could never see for me
But as you let your past control you
You begin to push me away
You rely on your words
Instead of action
I just try to push past it
Since it's something you can't control
I keep trying to fight
This torment I feel inside
But as the days go by
I doubt your words
As voices fill my head
I'll admit my reality is mixed
I'll keep trying I swear
I know I love you
You're all I need
But I know...
I knew you were the one meant for only me
You've opened my eyes to happiness
Something I could never see for me
But as you let your past control you
You begin to push me away
You rely on your words

I just try to push past it
Since it's something you can't control
I keep trying to fight
This torment I feel inside

I know I love you
You're all I need

Empty Promises
Nothing but a twisted fate
Something you wish to replace
But as the time drags on
You find yourself
Grasping harder every step you take
As you laugh in my face
While the tears begin to stain
Just another place
With empty promises
Standing between us
As the voices grow louder
The bed grows colder
As I lay to rest on the ground
With every tick
Time grows shorter
Just moments away
From a hell is place
Nothing but sweet words
To lure me to my grave
Something you wish to replace
But as the time drags on
You find yourself
Grasping harder every step you take
As you laugh in my face
While the tears begin to stain
Just another place
With empty promises
Standing between us
As the voices grow louder
The bed grows colder
As I lay to rest on the ground
With every tick
Time grows shorter
Just moments away
From a hell is place
Nothing but sweet words
To lure me to my grave

well damn
When you look at me...
Do you really see our future?
Or where would we be...
Is this even in our nature?
Do you dream of our life together
Or do you still see your past in bright lights
Will this be part of our forever
Or will this not make it past our nights
If we bid our time through our insanity
Will our madness start to blend
I guess it's good we never had vanity
We don't have much to spend
As we lay our heads to rest
Will we make it past this test?

You don't know how quickly I fell
You don't know how much I feel like I'm breaking
I feel like I'm being replaced
I was scared to fall
But I thought you'd be there to catch me
I guess I was wrong
Always wrong
I thought you'd acturally care for me
But I guess you just wanted one thing
You've been acting strange
After I trusted you with my heart
But I feel you don't care
I'm at a lost for words
I just feel like I'm breaking
You don't know how quickly I fell for you
I'm just going to be replaced.... again
You don't know how much I feel like I'm breaking

You don't know how quickly I fell for you
I'm just going to be replaced.... again

Torn
My heart is being pulled here and there
I want to be loved
But I haven't found it anywhere
I want to be happy
But is it just an illusion?
Something I'll never be?
My mind is running in circles
Trying to think straight
But it can't slow down
Its running faster and faster
Till I feel like I'm tumbling down
My body is freezing
My lips are trembling
Trying to hug myself
to keep from slowing down
But I keep going here and there
Not finding love anywhere
Is it just some stupid trick?
To never find my...

I hope one day I'll be loved
All I want is to be loved
No matter how hard I try
I'm always second
Replaced for better
All I want is for someone to care
No matter how much I cry
I'm already Scarred
Replaced for someone whole
All I want to know I'm not alone
No matter how far I go
I'm always wrong
Replaced for someone else
No matter how hard I try
I'm always second
Replaced for better
All I want is for someone to care
No matter how much I cry
I'm already Scarred
Replaced for someone whole
All I want to know I'm not alone
No matter how far I go
I'm always wrong
Replaced for someone else

Through all the shit
We started maybe two or three years ago
We went through it all
Break ups, make ups, and even a few fights
But yet we both stuck around
Not wanting to ever let go
We'd see other people yet always come back
Why do we always come back?
Why is it after a few years and I still come back?
Why after all we put ourselves through do we come back?
When ever I see you,
You pull me close and kiss me deep
It feels right to be in your arms
It feels safe
I remember just the other day
You told me you still loved me
You'd never stop
You wanted...

Baby
Note before I start... Talking about my friend as she goes through this...
Woke up one morning
Feeling sick and queasy
Tried to eat some food
Couldn't keep it down
Looked down
And thought what the hell?!
I never looked at my body once
Only knew it was thick yet slim
Played tons of sports
And always had a game going
But now that I'm looking down
I know I can't play anymore
A baby bump
There before me
Wow was that such a mistake
Yet maybe just a little blessing
As my time goes by
I keep wondering...
