POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A poet, lol. I'm no poet, I can't spell, I cant write, never really went to school. I'm just here to try and express my thoughts and maybe find others who can relate.
Raindrops
Rain drops
Impersonating the beat of a drum..
I'm Sitting back
Thinking about where I've been
Where I'm going
And what I've become..
Rain drops..
Falling down a glass pain
Resembling the tears on my cheek
Choking me up
Unable to speak..
Like a conveyor belt
They fall...
Rain drops..
Without a care in the world
As they fall from the sky
Onto my face as they mimick me cry..
At the opposite ends of the spectrum
Standing hear
Listening
Watching ...
Impersonating the beat of a drum..

I Have To Remember
I have to remember..
To breathe
Just take a breath
And remind yourself
That breath
Is a matter of life and death
I have to remember..
To listen
To understand
To not react
Or let the situation
Get out of hand
I have to remember..
That your not well
And even though you look ok
On the outside
Your fighting the devil within
But with me by your side
I'll make sure
he won't win..
And I promise to look after you
And do all I can
To live out our...

Addiction
An addiction.
A condition of pain and suffering
I have always failed to understand
Pain
And suffering
two adjectives that seem to go hand in hand..
To describe this disease.
A sickness I'm experiencing first hand
A life choice
I never wanted
Asked for
Or planned..
Everyday screaming for help
Bellowing from the depths of my lungs for someone to hear me..
But no sound reverberates outside of my body..
I'm crying within
I don't know which way to go
What path to take
Or where to begin..

The Alcoholic
Uneducated
People who pass judgement on subjects they don't understand
Untaught Ignorance
Are two words that go hand in hand..
Just two words that compliment people on their uninformed views..
Thinking the life that they lead
Is the life that they choose..
But people don't choose to live life this way
Most of the time they hope and they prey
To rid this disease that plagues them,
But the illness controls them..
Why would any sane person choose to drink
To a point where there unable to talk,
Walk or think..
Leaving...

Sink or Swim
It's a battle I try to hide
I'm told to talk
To share
But this is one ride
I'm travelling alone..
Smiling is as hard as hard can be
But people are to wrapped up in their own little world to see..
But thats ok..
I can control it
Supress
Try not to think about the size of the mess
My life is in right now..
Is this how you want to live
Going through life you give and you give
And just forget about yourself..
Are you not worth more
At some point you have to be strong
Hold your head high

Drowning
So fucking depressed
In this existence that I'm in
Motivation for life deceased..
Being Dragged along kicking and screaming..
Stuck on a conveyer belt living life Without meaning..
Laying here rotting,
face down in a pool of faded dreams and aspirations ..
Where a life of misery and torment
Is my only expectation..
Living behind a facade of fakeness...
Enduring agony
And Distress
On a day to day basis..
Constantly looking for an escape from this absolute hell
Of pain and torture
i seem to hide so well.. ...

De Ja Vu
its starting again,
a hurricanes coming
but instead of a vicodin
I pick up a pen..
that tool is my shield..
It serves to protect and defend
on this battlefield..
that i'm in...
a battle I just can't win..
words
to physical abuse
to notifying my next of kin...
There's no reasoning or rationale
the next few hours
will haul you right down
kill your morale..
Which Is now at an all time low..
Its down and out on the floor
receiving blow after blow
Its Lifeless..

Snakes and Ladders
Battered and bruised,
at this moment In time
feeling in pain,
dejected and used..
my brain
so confused..
my heads dazed
in a spin
not knowing what day
time
or what year that it's in..
punch drunk..
Not Knowing which direction to go
sad times have been and passed
But ive never felt this low..
Before
But when your down
Laid out on the floor..
When your body mind and soul
Can't physically
Or mentally take any more..
You survive
What other choice do you have..

How Do You explain It..
How do you explain the feelings you feel..
When there discarded
dismissed
Like they just wernt real ..
Telling someone you get so down
That no matter how hard you try
Your only option
is to drown..
Coz no matter how hard your kicking and screaming..
Doing everything you can
And more
To fight this feeling..
You can't..
How do you explain,
Why your feeling so blue,
When there's nothing wrong,
Things look bright,
But sadness
takes you..
And turns every emotion and feeling you have ...

New Start New Beginning..
I Guess Painful Experiences Define Us,
Change Our Identity,
Our Outlook..
They Make Us Who We Are,
Enduring So Much Hate And Pain,
Without Leaving A Scar..
There Psychological..
They Fuck With Your Mind,
If Only You Could Move On,
Forget Them,
Leave Them Behind,
But You Can't..
Wounded,
But These Wounds Won't Mend,
But Whatever Pain Your Going Through,
We Smile And Just Pretend...
Put On A Front,
And Just Pretend..
