POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about things that are very personal to me, especially to do with my parents.
Family Tradition
Our little family tradition,
A well kept secret,
So well kept,
Next in line,
Doesn't even know,
Or does she?
Little trickles of truth,
Slips of the tongue,
From a poisonous mouth,
Let reality escape,
So she sees clearly,
Through the wool,
That has been pulled over too many eyes,
For far too long.
Not like the rest,
She's not scared,
Not restricted by you,
She knows all.
And more importantly,
She knows you.
She can succeed where the rest have fail.

This Pattern
This pattern,
Invisible to all,
Except one.
She knows.
She's determined.
She won't end up,
Like those before her.
She'll break the cycle,
She'll be happy,
She'll be free.
They all will.

Daddy
Daddy, oh daddy,
Where do I begin?
It's been oh so long,
But I can see you again!
I can, can't I?
You won't reject me again?
Your eldest daughter,
The one you should spoil rotten,
Instead was discarded like spoiled goods.
Was I good enough?
Am I good enough now?
I know I've sinned,
But daddy,
I promise I'm a good girl really.
Do you love me again?
Did you love me ever?
Am I good enough for love at all?
Can you look me in the eye,
And tell me why?
Why you left?
What did I do?
I couldn't have...

Black Hole
The feeling of a black hole,
Sucking my being into its bottomless pit,
Ripping my atoms apart.
That's a familiar feeling,
It sits.
A deep depression,
Painting my vision shades of black,
How can I let myself end up here again?
Sitting on my bed,
Feelings of joy breech my walls of pain,
Slightly dizzy and oh so guilty,
I place my instruments back in their place.
Reeling from the rush,
I watch blood drops run their race.
Praying it was deep enough,
I lay back and close my eyes,
Wondering what shall happen in...
Sucking my being into its bottomless pit,
Ripping my atoms apart.

Eyes
It's second nature,
Laugh, smile, talk on cue,
Being fake is all I've ever known,
Showing my true self I can never do.
Acting so sure of who I am,
Pretending I'm always okay,
Telling someone what they want to hear,
Just because it's the right thing to say.
This is what I act like,
So society can't hurt my ego,
But real me is oh so broken,
Therefor my true self can never show.
I shall cover up the truth,
With a thick coat of lies,
My acts single flaw,
The untold story in my eyes.

Dear Daddy
I can't expect to be loved by a man,
When my own daddy did not even love me.
When I needed you, you left,
The scars may fade but the hurt never will.
A part of my heart is missing,
And it's one only a daddy can fill.
Your thought may never wander to me,
But mine are always on you,
You should know your departure in my life,
Influences almost everything I do.
If you were here,
There's some things I'd want to say,
"Why don't you love me daddy?
"Why did you go away?"
I joke to mask my hurt,
Because...

My Undoing
I could be so much more if I tried,
Perfect, miraculous, out of this world,
Oh so human, I'm attached to the concept of emotions.
They are stronger than any force comprehendible,
My hatred for them collides with my love for the high,
It inter fears with my sanity,
My strive for perfection altered.
In my desperate bid to keep dreams alive with conscious mind,
When they both come crashing down,
I shall have annihilated all chance of salvation,
My humanity shall be my undoing.
