POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Always afraid Lost in the crowd On the wrong path Nobody's anybody Eternally expected Alone
Wonderful Freaks
Your tones are bleak
You speak in sorrow
Makes me wonder if you'll
be here tomorrow
Your words run red
of truth
But in your pain, dont waste
your youth
Your words seemed to be written
Unlike most of the rest
etched from your blood
Yours are the best
Intertwined,
our friendship stands
Never-ending
bonded with unbreakable bands
Like you, Im different
I try not to copy your intricate ways
You help mend on me
My emotional frays
Though we're different
We're wonderful freaks
And long ago,...

No Longer Here
I've left you all
all behind
So you're now
off my mind
You can say Im a coward
You can say Im fake
But I wont let you brand me
By all my previous mistakes
You have had yours errors
You'll have even more
Worrying about you
will no longer be my chore
You will have your own problems
Mine will disappear
and soon enough I'll realize
Your hatred is no longer here
all behind
So you're now
off my mind
You can say Im a coward
You can say Im fake
But I wont let you brand me
By all my previous mistakes
You have had yours errors
You'll have even more
Worrying about you
will no longer be my chore
You will have your own problems
Mine will disappear
and soon enough I'll realize
Your hatred is no longer here

Flaw and Defect
What did I do?
From you, I cant run
Can this ever be
correctly undone?
You surround me
Voices barking
like the dogs you are
You can't come alone
Then I wouldnt be intimidated
Made sure that I
would be eliminated
Your racoon eyes
and your piercing tones
Your way of controlling
your brainless clones
Makes my stomach twist
My walls go up and I'm never found
After shes gone
and she's turned around
Where is my strength?
Where did it go?
Hiding
I've sunk that low
Can I show?
Or will you attack?
or...

Death Plant
Its only a want
its not a need
Death is but a plant
Corruption's the seed
Seeds come in different types
It can also come in greed
Wanting can act as water
and the Death Plant continues to feed

It can also come in greed
Wanting can act as water

Bonnie
Her parents werent good
People weren't nice
In all of the pain
Her own skin she sliced
Shes been diagnosed
shes been infected
But the real pain
Has gone undetected
So shes bisexual
It doesn't matter
It doesn't mean
She cant hear your rude chatter
Through scars
and everyone hateful
Shes come out
beautiful
People weren't nice
In all of the pain
Her own skin she sliced
Shes been diagnosed
shes been infected
But the real pain
Has gone undetected
So shes bisexual
It doesn't matter
It doesn't mean
She cant hear your rude chatter
Through scars
and everyone hateful
Shes come out
beautiful

Twisted Fun
Suffocating,
shes dying in her own skin
do you know
what shes in?
Every turn
time to decide
Oh look now
shes gone to hide
Will she ever
show her face
or be gone
without a trace
Love is gone
So is care
Why is life
never fair
Things go on
I guess
lets let go
of this stress
We've wrote it off
But its come back
Now we are
way off track
We'll still fight
We're not done
Lets have some
twisted fun

Never There
Is it bad
that I didn't weep
You went so easily
I dont want to sleep
Its such a subtle thing
You would think me dumb
Am I that bad
For being so numb?
No no
It doesn't matter
why do I even care?
Im searching for feelings
that were never there
that I didn't weep
You went so easily
I dont want to sleep
Its such a subtle thing
You would think me dumb
Am I that bad
For being so numb?
No no
It doesn't matter
why do I even care?
Im searching for feelings
that were never there

Sympathy
I never thought I could ever hate you so much
Well, I never thought someone's that dumb
Did you notice that you look pregnant?
I did, so does everyone with eyes
I wouldnt be surprised with you
Considering everything you do
Looking back at your past
And everything you said
you'd think somewhere
in your small brain
you'll stop and
Think about
the things
you do to
me and
find

Teach Me How
Goals are so close
I can almost touch
It makes false hopes
That I can achieve so much
Oh shit well now I've set a standard
Oh great, now I have to try
I'll get too overwhelmed
But you'll never see me cry
Okay I'll work at it
It's never or now
Im ready to start
Just teach me how
I can almost touch
It makes false hopes
That I can achieve so much
Oh shit well now I've set a standard
Oh great, now I have to try
I'll get too overwhelmed
But you'll never see me cry
Okay I'll work at it
It's never or now
Im ready to start
Just teach me how

Someday
You think you're so good
Oh, but you're not
You think you're better
You think you're hot
Well I'm here to say you're not
you're just one big jealous girl
As, you talk, my plans unfurl
I will rise, and you will fall
You will go beneath them all
Just remember what I said
When you were told
and your face was red
You'll look at me
And I will say
'You'll be wishing
you were me someday'

Masquerade
The uncertainty of a masquerade
Strangers' smiles
Never seem to fade
Flowing dresses and sequin masks
They wonder who you are
But no one dares to ask
Be someone new
If just for one night
After all, its not even you
Someone with porcelain skin
Red lips, gossamer dress
What a warped world I'm in
Suddenly disguised, people take interest
When I am unknown,
I'm at my best
The hours race by
People come and go
Now, I dont have to try
Everything good must come to an end
Even though being someone...

Two-sided Deal
Pain rushes through me
as I look at the beams on the ceiling
and picture myself hanging from them, dead
what a sinister, wonderful feeling
But I've made promises
Promises that should be kept
It's a two sided deal,
So neither gets left
Without someone to hold on to
For friendship, a reason for living
Because if one leaves
they'd meet up in hell
forever unforgiving
