POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Lifes a game to you
Life is like Risk a game of strategy to conquer all
A game of snakes and ladders to reach the top
A game of Jenga where you don't want to fall
A gameof poker where its all about the flop
The hand you were never dealt
its all about how you spin the wheel
Love has become a game that cant be felt
Love is no longer something real
People no longer see the consequences of what they do
They just flip a coin and hope all goes well
hope when they roll the dice they get that elusive 2
but its to latebecause they already fell
You played...

Naive to think
I was naive to think our friendship was real
you will never understand how itruly feel.
You used me and hung me up to dry
played with my love and left my heart to die.
Your beautiful looks and conniving ways
left me your slave for days.
You cause so much hatred and pain
you left who i was locked in chains.
All that was left was anger and despair
yelling at the world " life isn't fair."
Asking God "why" every single night
asking God " why cant things just be right."
No longer will you be apart of me,
no longer...

Only in dreams
Poetry seems to be the only way i can say things and i believe it to be a song with out music. Its words that can be said but no words are uttered. Simply a way into someones personality what they think how they think and their audience. Poetry is about telling a story in few words, writing a chapter of your life in a few lines. Its about capturing the very essence of what you felt into a poem a

Family
Blood doesnt make us family or even race and colour, unconditional love does. The love that even when you know all their flaws and mistakes you still walk beside them and in a seconds notice would drop anything and everything to be there when they need you. Thats what makes us family. Sometimes i truely question whether my friends are more of my family then some of my actual family. There are only a select few i consider family. I need to have their trust and their respect. I need to know they will be there when i need them and that these are the people i would do the same for.

Beauty
As the say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everything and everyone has beauty and is beautiful but only certain people can see your beauty. Not everyone is able to see your beauty only a few special people. You yourself may not be able to see your beauty but someone will. You don't need to change you are Gods creation and God would not create something unworthy of life, he creates everything in his image and his image is beauty. From the smallest insect to the largest animal, from the bottoms of the earth to the stars above everything made beautiful.

A thin line
The most difficult thing in life is trying to convince yourself that you did the right thing, and more often then not we fail. We see to much past the obvious that everything comes down to a choice and there should be no convincing of any sort. What is done is done now decifer if it was right or wrong if wrong it warrents and apology if right then dont worry about it. You dont have to confince yourself you did the right thing. Just ask yourself was it the right thing to do.
A thin line between right and wrong
a decission that boggles the mind
one that can make you strong...

What have i become
Im lost in this girl, she knows me but she doesnt know how i feel. She couldnt care less for me. She calls us friends but she ignores me, she uses me and i let her because of what i call love. I would do anything for her and im sure there are other people in the same situation. But is it worth it. Is it worth the pain the sadness the wasted time. I would die for her she is like a little sister to me but i cant help but wonder why i do the things i do for her when she is not willing to do the same. Iv changed everything for her and now iv become something i would have never become, a monster....

The back seat
They say nice guys finish last. I think its true what do you think......
It seems like im always in the back seat
it seems like im always being beat
it seems like im in last place
seems like i cant finish this race
nice guys finish last
something iv heard in the past
its a choice that i dont want to take
a choice i would never make
i choice to be someone im not
but my hearts left alone to rot
i can see her beauty decend from above
but she has given someone else her love
behind bars and in chains
my heart is full of pains...

Shadows
The hauntings begin and they never stop
a shadow follows me from the deepest ocean to the highest mountain tops
It is apart of me it, it controls what i do
and now its lead me to you
the one person i wanted to protect
and now its all wrecked
ever since i met you this shadow has been there
this isnt right this isnt fair
the on person i loved and now your gone
but my shadow isnt moving on
as it grasps my throat and strangles me
it sets my past free
for everyone i love to see
now the know who i didnt want to be
a past of pain and...

I make a wish every night
to have you to hold tight
But i gave you my heart
and you tore it apart
i gave you all my love not much more to say
but you stole it all away
you loved how i treated you but you didnt love me
you knew my love was locked up but you set it free
you used me you knew i would give it to you
you knew exactly what you had to do
i dont regret it but i do feel bad
even as friends i knew what i had
endless happiness, smiles to brighten my day
words to turn the pain away
i girl i consider apart of my fam

The kiss
I wake up in the darkness of the night
all i see is this beautiful light
her voice beckons me forward and we hold hands
as both my feet begin to touch sand
i pinch myself it must be some dream
but it feels so real atleast it seems
the warm water on our feet as we watch the sun rise
our hands meet as i gaze into her eyes
she leans in forward with a warm gentle kiss
i cant help but fall into bliss
i dont know what she looks like and i may never know
but ill follow her wherever she goes
because she lighs up my world with just one smile

stuck
Stuck on a verse in my hit song
about my life and how it feels wrong
stuck on a word in my book
about your eyes and how you look
the dictionary has no such word in sight
to capture your beauty into something i can write
the music stops as my life comes to a hault
losing you i guess was my fault
but im stuck on whether it was right or wrong
whether it made me weak or strong
as my song becomes the number one hit
i lose it bit by bit
knowing they liked it better when it wasnt done
know my unfinished work is now number one
knowing my novel...
