POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
We all fall down.
It's like I'm trapped in a daze.
There's people watching me.
I can't escape these metaphysical properties.
Thrown down on me and I can't breathe.
Oh,
It's such a tragedy.
I've been stuck on my knees.
I keep on begging.
A chance is all I need.
Can you forgive me.
I know I've let myself down and.
we all fall down
Is there anyway out?
I've been searching In here for years and nothing ever seems to get clearer.
We all break down.
It's like the walls start melting, the floors start moving around...

Riptide
There's a riptide coming to take me.
No religion can hide me from this.
Do I cross the sea,
or go across my wrists?
My only thought is who will save me.
Bitterness is such a bliss.
I try to keep my eyes looking forward.
But they keep fixing on the past.
When everything starts go good.
It always leads me right back, to black.
There is a wildfire is my eyes.
And my heart has caught a flame.
I'm addicted to the pain.
I dont want to,
But my mind just loves the games.
There's a crack inside...

Shackles
The anchors sink.
I cant face my atrocities.
I'm ankle deep.
The shackles they are pulling at both my feet.
As I try to stand.
Buried in the sand.
The water keeps.
Rising, its consoling me.
Angel's speak,
Of the things that I have done.
I'm sorry.
I didnt make it right.
I wont have time tonight .
All these thing that I've done.
Were like smoke from a gun.
dissipate without a trace.
1 by 1 the tables turn.
They always said live an learn.
But I never learn.
Now ill speak.

Home is where the hurt is
I'm done with the peace.
There's safe and there's sound.
I'm screaming in anguish ,
And no ones around.
Blood from my fist is smeared on the ground.
I'll light up this place up and burn it all down.
Because everyone knows.

Bitterness is bliss
I'm not falling to peices.
I'm not falling apart.
Took a knife, aimed right for the heart from the start.
I'm gonna not drink to our memories.
But I'll take a double shot,
Salute.
I'm not gonna beg on my hands and knees for you.
Are you satisfied?
By the words you said.
Wishing every waking moment that I was dead.
Are you terrified of being all alone?
When everything was set in stone.
Wasn't justified.
I didn't ask the questions.
When You reconciled,
With all the exits.
Are you better now, ...

Hollow
Is this inner peace?
Or is this just destiny,
pushing me to the brink.
This life Is not what it seems.
Dont try to save me.
This is my release.
I'm begging please.
I scream as fall to my knees.
I'm begging, I'm begging you please.
Dont let me fall asleep.
I dont wanna dream of anything.
Of anything.
I drink to retain my peace.
But me and this Jack are nothing but enemies.
I jump in water and sink.
Its filling my lungs and dont wanna breathe.

Run and tell, its killing me
You've played the games.
You sold me out.
How many times have I told you to shut your mouth.
Dont shoot me down again.
I cant withstand the pain.
Cant withstand the pain.
You ran away.
You left me sinking.
I should have never told you all my secrets.
You learned everything about me.
You said, you hold on to it.
I've lost it all again.
When does resentment sink in.
I've played those game myself.
Go run and tell.
Go run and tell.
Didnt care about anyone but me.
I've said the words.
Dont follow...

Unclean state of mind
I'm trapped in my,
Unclean state of mind.
I've been wasting all my time,
Drawing smiles on the mirror.
I cannot be defined,
Anything other than in ruins.
That's always been my life.
I've been trying to wake up.
But Where is my reason to?
Why am I always in gloom?
Why does it all seem so pointless?
I've been trying to realize,
everything that brought me to this.
Was it my own selflessness?
I have been confined,
In my unclean state of mind.

I've never been one to feel that way
Cant you see, jealousy
I'm yearning for a friend.
Cant you see I'm reaching out for you.
You dont have to pretend.
We can make it out of this if we try.
We can make it out of this if we try.
Cant you see, jealousy
You're born with no recourse.
Cant you see I'm better without you.
Your damage is too coarse.
I'm afraid to get to close to the side.
Yeah I'm afraid If i can't get out this time.
Sit next to me, we'll slide it in reverse.
Everything we know, yet we lay still in a hearse.
Strapped in by a curse. ...

What destruction in me.
It's a seed, its takes hold,
you'll lose control of your emotions.
It's a spark, it's a fuse.
it's a cause for self destruction,
And it breaks down every wall you have.
It's a fault on a line,
It's an earthquake down inside.
It's a brick through a window,
it'll cost you every time.
More than just a nickle and a dime.
What's the path that I take?
Was it all just a mistake?
Cut my throat and let me bleed.
nothing is ever what it seems.
What is it that you say you mean?
With each word gets more obscene.

Walks alone
He walks alone
He just wants to go home,
But wheres the road?
He screams and moans.
He break his bones.
On these sticks and stones.
That his mind perluded,
to disguise the main roads.

Save your sympathy
I feel a little lost.
I feel a little torn inside.
But what's the cost?
Of never living your life?
I dont know where I'm going
All I know, is i just keep running and running.
I dont need your help,
I can save myself.
I cant help that I'm thinking,
What if I'm losing more than I'm leaving.
I dont want your help I can fend for myself.
years of surviving hell.
As you see so far,
Its went so well.
But I'm still breathing.
I went so far, did the best that I could.
All these years and I'm still...
