POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Censoring Myself
I always kept my heart open for the world to see
Tried to treat everyone with kindness, all those near me
But I was shunned for my looks, no one bothered to learn
The passion inside, or the fire, how it burned
Without much care towards all that I loved
I hid it far away, how I pushed it and shoved
Wrote away all my worries and fears for no one
Though I never felt finished, I’d hardly begun
To delve into the depths and breathe in new life
To my many misadventures and mischievous strife
Then on social media I found like minded souls
Sharing...

Your Hate is Delicious
I love how you hate me, it’s freaking delicious
If I could bottle and sell it, I’d be the richest
Then you could hate me more as time keeps going by
Though I won’t notice it, no matter how hard you try
My shield is impenetrable and you will soon see
You took on too big a challenge when you thought to perturb me
There are so many other things to do more worth your while
Maybe give you some joy and maybe even give you a smile
But please keep on going with what makes you so mad
Remember what they say no publicity is so bad
I know I’m on your mind...

Please Find Me
Let me speak out from beyond the grave
Only ever seek justice out in my name
For while I sit here flesh rotting from bones
Never being able to again return home
The guilty still walks and breathes in fresh air
Without a second thought, not a glance or a care
Yes I still can see them living out their life
While others try to figure it out amid strife
Here I am voiceless and yet still unfound
Buried not beneath dirt but the leaves on the ground
Undisturbed and still waiting for my voice to be heard
Though my lips have turned blue...

While others try to figure it out amid strife
Here I am voiceless and yet still unfound
Buried not beneath dirt but the leaves on the ground
Undisturbed and still waiting for my voice to be heard
Though my lips have turned blue...

Losing
It's not like I don't make time to write poetry
But each time I look a mental fog I see
I try to break these bonds that lock me down so
Still fighting so hard the direction it's telling me to go
To give up financial well being for a place of less stress
Though I try to control it and I'm doing my best
It seems to stop me from being who I truly want to be
Keeping me from all the sights I truly want to see
The poem starts are there but quickly fade away
By the time I get home mentally locked is the day
I get inspired for a moment that is...

Farewell
I write out my farewell along the once familiar lines
It's taken me awhile but I know it's more than time
Time to say farewell as this ship has sailed its course
I'm at peace with my decision and feel no sense of remorse
Why should I be remorseful when unwanted from the start
Never truly belonging on this ride to play some part
Don't get me wrong this isn't some letter for suicide
Just a cleansing of my soul in all the corners that hide
These petty grabs for attention from memories buried deep
Though I've been meaning it for awhile along the edges...

Crazy Little Thing
I know I'm a little disappointed, but I really do understand
There's a lot on your plate and your time's high in demand
With everyone pulling you this way or that
It's no wonder you're tired and run yourself flat
You wear down your immunity and then you feel slow
It's not a big secret that you're always on the go
Running from work to going out with your family
The proofs in the pudding this much I can see
I totally understand that you need to rest
So you can go back harder and be at your best
Though sometimes I wish our schedules didn't always...

Away From You
You were buried but I brought you back to life
Wiped away your tears and cleared all your strife
I held you up when you didn't think you could
Gave you encouragement when you didn't think you would
But look how you've repaid me just look at this mess
I swear you live to heighten my anger and stress
Why try so hard when I know that you won't
Why do I care when I know that you don't
To be fair though you say that you do
But actions speak loudly and you know this too
Do you want to see my worst side cuz you will find
That I pay...

Down A Lonely Path
Such wondrous wonders my eyes no longer see
For I am disenchanted by the thought of being me
Though to be any other, oh this I wouldn't dare
Those are the thoughts that I dare not share
For who wouldn't say that I throw a party of pity
Whether I scream it out loud or type in the city
I swear I don't look for attention only to vent
For it's been a long time since my feelings I've spent the facade grows too heavy, I'm no longer strong
Carrying this to a place I finally belong
The truth is though I can't find such a place
When I catch a glimpse...

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
You're a wolf in sheeps clothing and that's the truth
Just look how you treat me and you have your proof
You're passive aggressive and I don't know why
I look on at you ignoring, I do notice but won't cry
There's no sense in doing so it's just like spilt milk
I could well do without your kind and your ilk
You make it a point to be loud and in charge
Never excusing just to stomp and to barge
Through the people and items that get in your way
You do this from morning on all through the day
The poem that I write is all about you
So maybe...
