POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write songs of the heavy variety, intended to be screamed. Poems come to me erratically, and I'm writing a book. I'd appreciate ANY feedback.
Animal Instinct
I AM AN ANIMAL INSIDE
TEARING APART EVERYTHING IN MY WAY
AND AS YOU FALL TO THE FLOOR CAN YOU HEAR MY ROAR?
THE COPS BEATING THE DOOR
DOWN AND MY HEART'S BEATING INSIDE
I've never felt more alive !
INSIDE OF MY MIND !
IT'S JUST TO SURVIVE
THESE BRUTAL FEELINGS
MY ANIMAL INSTINCT IS BREAKING LOOSE
I'VE LOOSENED THE NOOSE !
FOR NOW I AM A FREE BEAST
RUNNING RAMPID
INSIDE MY HEART BEATING AND

Teenagers
High school is the worst time period you'll have to endure in your entire life.
If you can get through it, you can get through anything.
That's when everything is happening
Everything goes wrong
Your awkward phase
Your old enough to have a job,
you have to work your ass off for everything you want but you still have some leisure time.
Your parents are the driving force for your teenage years.
You're coming into your own and finding yourself
Establishing yourself as a person and they don't like...

A Day In My Shoes
You can stare
And you can laugh
And you can point your fingers
But do you ever really know
What goes on behind closed doors?
If you spent a day as me
Or walked a mile in my shoes
Your face would tell a different story
And you would show a little respect
I just say what the heck
As you try to break my neck.
Through closed eyes
You can't see
What it's like
To be ME
And until you FUCKING DO
I Suggest you GET A CLUE !
FUCK YOU!

Nostalgia
Just bury your head in the sand
And wait till your FUCKING PROM!
If you think you're alive, then you're better off dead.
Cut
Cut
Cut
Cut it up !
Your memory,
It's a lie!
Sweet kiss of nostalgia
That falsetto glow
The things you love
And that you grow to hate
Aren't even different In the end.
And Is anything sacred?
Is anything real?
This is what the edge of your seat was made for.
I've got you hanging on
to every word.
Every
Fucking
Word
I say....
And wait till your FUCKING PROM!

White Funeral (Flatline)
Who needs your help when I'm six feet under?
Say your goodbyes
With forgotten smiles
People I didn't know
Acting like I meant something to them
Kiss my ass
I'm buried face down
It's all a lie
It was all a fucking lie!
A sugar coated mess
And if we have to go out, we might as well go out in style.
Bullets beating against this coffin
With the sound of heavy machinery above.
The sky is black
And we're all going down!
bass drum simulating pounding heart beat)
Boom Boom! (x4)

Pyromania
Burn, burn
Watch it fall
Down to ashes
Consumes us all.
With bad intentions
In my heart
Just a spark
To ignite it all.
And with a click
And the fluid trail
It all goes up
In a sea of flames.
Erase!
Your bad memories
How simple
Without a care
Or second thought
Everthing can fall
Right beneath your feet!
Burn, burn
Watch it fall
Down to ashes
It Consumes us all.
With a flicker of the flame
It all comes down
As the flint catches the light

Come on little darlin'
Come on,
a little darlin'
take my hand.
We gonna take these guitars and-a make a band.
Don't stray to far.
Don't run to deep.
I'll hold you to every promise I keep.
Come follow me,
let's take it slow.
I'm gonna show you the power of a Rock n' Roll.
Dancing in the moonlight
we're swaying with the stars.
baby, one day this world will be ours.
Acoustics by the campfire,
laughing and free.

Hey Asshole!
Hey Asshole!
Yeah,
it's not alright.
the things you do
to pick a fight.
you're always looking for aggression.
it's beyond my comprehension.
and I don't know how you could choose
to act like this.
But I guess it's you
it's just who you are
played out on chords on my guitar.
Hey Asshole!
You won't go far.
I'll see to it.
and in the end

Karmic Spirit
They come and go,
These elusive illustrations of creative spirit.
Free to create,
with intricate detail
A tapestry of color, and emotion.
Bound by an eternity of expression.
A journey of self discovery
without an end.
Karmic retribution.
for all free spirits
and athletes of the creative world.
free to speak their minds,
and colors.
Saturate the world.
Break the black and...

Shadow
In the dead of the night you don't hear me coming
on the blackest of days I slip in your skull.
I'm a shadow
disappearing into the night
Caressing your fears
and brewing wild thoughts
of tempestuous
life paths
CROSSROADS
ways of life you've never seen before
stirring at the back of your mind.
a black veil
a shadow,
if you will
spreading every single day.

Did It Hurt? (The Joys Of Yesterday)
a foreign vision
brought out through dreams of the past.
you're my last chance
if you were a part
of yesterday
did it hurt
when you found that you couldn't get back
no matter how you tried
the joys of yesterday.
you try to find a better way
to get back to
the dreams of yesterday
remembrance
over the way it used to be.
a wishful bliss.
with nerves of steel
they'll...
