POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry and music is my way of expressing myself. Having social anxiety, and not talking much, this is my way to release all my thoughts and opinions. Thanks for reading.
An Observer
She avoided people.
She was a shadow.
She knew that nothing
Was as it seems.
She was cautious.
She was hurt.
Her silence was
Actually hidden screams.
She observed,
She watched.
She blended in.
Never fit in.
She was known for saying only hello
Or goodbye.
The quiet in which she walked
Was her own lullaby.
She could never look
You in the eyes.
She simply watched your feet
Shuffle their way by.
She was quiet.
She was alone.
Words left her that way.

Case of Me
Screaming,
inside myself.
Screaming,
for help.
Or am I really?
Blank stares into
this mirror.
Wondering what other people
see in me.
Living in the shadow
of relatives
cousins
family friends.
Fighting to be the one
they can be proud of.
Struggling to find
my purpose.
Fighting not to lose
the one I can't be without.
Struggling to
succeed.
If only they could see
I don't even understand
The real me....

Life As An Unreal Dream
I wake up again today,
A new day.
Yet nothing has changed.
Confusion, a clouded mind.
But, “everything’s fine.”
Delusions, hallucinations.
Every way, everyone turned
Into something I can see,
I just don’t know what or who to believe.
Disturbing thoughts, conflicted feelings.
Real and unreal beings.
Do I believe what I’m seeing?
Untrustworthy sight,
I’m in an unwinnable fight.
Promises of help come,
Memories undone.
There’s no problem,
There’s many.
There’s no cure,
Not any.

Tired of People.
I'm tired of this.
Two-faced liars,
Caught in the middle.
(Like always..AGAIN.)
Freakin' waste of time.
I tried to help you.
So is this really what you want to do?
Unnecessary wars, and fights.
Just look and see what it does to the world.
Do you really want to be like them?
Pawns and pieces used like it's just
Some. Sick. Game.
I'm really starting not to care.
Ever think you'd hear me say that?
Me. Either.
I'm not as naive as you think I am.
Surprised? Well, good for you.
Is your anger and emotions clouding everything?
No...

The Real Me.
Trying to find that person I've never been.
The "girly-girl" everyone wanted.
I'm sorry, but that's not me..
I gave up on being that a long time ago.
When I say sorry, do you even believe me?
What's "right" and "wrong" anymore?
Sometimes i wonder if people can see,
The thoughts running and screaming,
Through my mind.
The past, if only life could rewind.
Trust me, I see through your lies.
Cold eyes, a blue disguise.
Don't act like you know me.
And lie, then forget I existed at all.
If only the world would...

Thanks.. Again.
I guess it was all lies.
New? Not really.
But i guess i expected different.
Mistake, right?
Well, this is the last time.
Thank you for proving me right.
Yet again.
That i am nothing more than a shadow to people.
You said it yourself.. One of you.
"I forgot you..."
"Best friends"?
Really?
Just forget it.
I freakin' tried.
The shadow will continue on now..
Quiet, and forgotten in the night..
Goodbye.

Dear...
Person A) I love you. I really mean it. I'm sorry if i drag you down or bother you. It's hard to explain really how i feel.. You're a great person and amazing. I love being around you. To be cheesy, you brighten even my darkest days.<3 I'll always be here for you. In any way i can. I promise.

Just Writing... February 20, 2012
How many faces does regret really have? I see many. It taking the human-like form, causing destruction on lives. My regret reflected and magnified in the eyes of those i care about. Those who truly know me. Well, the real me.. Regret takes flame, it can burn down and turn hopes, dreams even, to mere ashes. There are many things i regret in my life. Things i wish i could change.. Past events, many i hardly speak of.. Why? Because i trust few. Very few. People have had my trust, but they've pretty much just ripped it to shreds and set it alight. Do they regret that too, or is it just me?...

Te Quiero Mucho
I love you.
When i say it, i mean it.
No joke.
I can tell when something is wrong..
I can see it in your eyes..
Hear it in your voice.
Please don't try to hide.
I know that you have trouble trusting people.
Because of
the past
people
family
things that have happened..
I'm sorry.
You're an amazing person.
Please believe me when i say that.
I know you tell me the same thing..
I just honestly don't know what you

Random Poem..
I'm sorry..
For whatever i did.
For whatever i said.
Rejected..
That's all i am.
Alone..
That's how i am.
No one..
That's who i am.
I'm sorry..
For what i did, what i said.
This world,
Would benefit me
Dead.
I just wanted my pain to
End.
I just didn't know what message to
Send.
So here i am,
Writing.
This message to all of you.
Contemplating what i am
To do..
I know my being here
isn't right.
So i slit my wrists one last time
Tonight.
My own tears crash around me,
My...

My Cheesey Video Game Poem <3
Charizards are red, Squirtles are blue.
If you were a Pokemon, then i'd choose you.
Like Cortana and Master Chief, we can't be beat.
Whatever enemies or obstacles we meet.
Like Kat and Carter, I'll have your back.
Our trust stronger than any Covenant attack.
Like Ezio's assassins are always there,
I hope you know, i'll always care.
We'll be fighting together like Soap and Price.
No matter what the sacrifice..
We'll be there for each other like Sonic and Tails.
Our teamwork never fails.
I love you like Ash loves Pikachu,
So...

Destruction.. That's all i see.
Ever since you left, everything is crashing down me.
People who i considered friends.. turning their backs.
I think it might all actually be my fault.
I can't help it, I go days not wanting to talk to anyone.
Walking around school, trying to laugh..
But every place i look, i see memories.
I completely forget my phone. Texts and calls, i don't get.
Sorry to all those i've ignored..
Sitting outside, in the place where we sat and talked.
Listening to some of our favorite bands. Over and over..
Trying to forget the world....
