POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Again
Time and time again
Thought you was my best friend
You said you wasn’t going to leave
Which I really wanted to believe
But you left in the end
Time and time again
Thought you was my girlfriend
You said you stay by my side
Thought you was going to ride
With me to the very end
Time and time again
Thought you and I were golden
Then I looked you in the eye
I couldn’t see the lie
that you were out creepin
Time and time again
Thought you and I weren’t going to end
But now you got me on my knees...

Neverland
Whisk me away to lalaland,
Where I shall awake in my neverland
Where dreams are reality and reality was just a dream
That was pulling at the seams
Where time moves slowly and the clock rewinds, back to a life that was only real in my mind
Of countless days full of joy...filled with love...that somehow skipped me when I was just a boy
Here life still has mystery and wonder, but there everything makes you wonder
How this place could exist or how did things end up like this
So I’ll stay forever in my slumber
So I don’t have...
Where I shall awake in my neverland
Where dreams are reality and reality was just a dream
That was pulling at the seams
Where time moves slowly and the clock rewinds, back to a life that was only real in my mind
Of countless days full of joy...filled with love...that somehow skipped me when I was just a boy
Here life still has mystery and wonder, but there everything makes you wonder
How this place could exist or how did things end up like this
So I’ll stay forever in my slumber
So I don’t have...

A Shell
Take this heart of mine and ravage it in savagery.
Take it and consume the love it once held, the hope it once had...
Cause it will never fell the joy from another.
Cage it off from the love it once lost, Tossing it aside before another love crosses its path.
Let these emotions that that weighs heavy on this heart, crumb to dust.
Since I can no longer trust these feelings that warped itself to stone,
Choosing to forever be alone.
Let them drift with the wind,to carry the happiness that was once there...
The tears that were once shed... ...

The best
You are nothing-if not the best. No one can be compared, nor breathe the same air; that surrounds you. For you are a queen amongst peasants and your presence shines brighter then a star at night. For you are nothing-if not the best.

Reflection
You are always there staring back at me with eyes of regret.
But, who are you? I ask.
But, no response is all I get. Only a worn down expression across your face.
But,who are you?
With eyes glazed over from tears that run ramped. A mind who’s choice is, but to be confined to a safe place inside your head.
Who are you? I ask.
You are there every morning when I awake and every night before my head hits the bed.
But, I don’t recognize you.
So I ask again. Who are you?
Because you are not the me, I...

A New Me
I’m in the process of my progress of getting my life back on track from a torn apart heart. Starting to see the light from the dark in which they played their part.
Reversing the order of my role from good guy to bad, cause I had enough with the chicks trying to walk across my back.
So I’m back with a vengeance to play my games and put these hoes in their place. Cause I be dammed if I let another try to fill this empty space in my heart.

Never give up
Never lose hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Always stride to be the best version of you
Because your time will come.

Moving On
You said you will always be there.
Hmph...that was all just a lie.
Because as soon as I needed you, you ran away to hide.
Leaving me to trudge through this chaotic world on my own.
Scared and alone.
Like a children, looking for his way back home.
But now you stand in front of me.
Asking to forgive you for your past mistakes.
Saying we can be like we use to, we can be great.
Trying to pull at my strings like you use to, but this time I won’t break.
See, until now I thought I needed you.
Thinking without you, my life would be a...

Never Let Them
Never let them see you sad, is what I tell myself.
Never let them see you cry, I what I hold true.
But what happens when those feelings, start to boil inside of you.
And you don't have a clue on what to do, once they start rising up to the top.
Should I just let that bubble pop and have everyone feel the wrath
of my decades of pain and regret from the things I did in my past.
Or just stuff it back down and smother it, to let it continue to eat at my existence.
Like if I were to let it go away I would have missed it.
Never let them...

Deja vu
I’m stuck in a perpetuating time zone full of my doubts.
Having this feeling as if, once I get one foot out,
I’m rushed back to the start,
To continue climbing my way back to the top.
I’m stuck in a perpetuating time zone full of my doubts.
Scratching and claw at an exit with no way out.
Trying to keep back screams and tears from following me.
Just to found out i’m back in the place I don’t want to be.
I’m stuck in a perpetuating time zone full of my doubts.
Hoping this will be the day I finally breakout. ...

I'm just trying to play my part to fit into society.
Fooling myself thinking that by getting likes,
pokes, and followings, that they are inspiring to be me.
All the while they are conspiring against me.
Plotting to see the real me for all my flaws and insecurities.
Hoping that this breakaway mask that's covered in smiles and laughs,
would fall apart so they can finally have something to point at and laugh.
Wishing that I'll show my weaknesses,
So they can use hate as their greatest strength,
And prove that all I done was...

Tear
She sheds a tear for all the pain she went through.
She sheds a tear for all the lies she was once told.
She sheds a tear for the things she wish to redo.
She sheds a tear as her body went cold.
