POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hello, I am Miss Morbid. For the most part I consider my poetry to be disturbing. I tend to write about actual events that have happened or are happening. I am 28 but I feel like I write from a teenagers point of view.
Poem 13
The clouds come down
Covering my mouth
I cannot conjure a sound
My eyes, nothing but spouts
How can I feel this moment anymore?
Regardless of what they say
I am just an open sore
Another burden, another chore
I've got a war to fight
Underneath my skin
A shallow veil in your sight
I just want to feel what it's like to be right
How long I let go all of these sins?
Covering my mouth
I cannot conjure a sound
My eyes, nothing but spouts
How can I feel this moment anymore?
Regardless of what they say
I am just an open sore
Another burden, another chore
I've got a war to fight
Underneath my skin
A shallow veil in your sight
I just want to feel what it's like to be right
How long I let go all of these sins?

Eyes Of Tragedy

If only I would let myself feel
I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
Trying to mask my insecurity
My heart is lost and I don't want it found
So many people have hurt me
Took me apart and left me undone
My trauma burns so deeply
A story I'm sure I share with more than one
Feeling ever so conflicted
Whoever I once was
That girl, she has been evicted
I need to rise above...
Go back to the way I used to love
Always one foot on the ground
Trying to mask my insecurity
My heart is lost and I don't want it found
So many people have hurt me
Took me apart and left me undone
My trauma burns so deeply
A story I'm sure I share with more than one
Feeling ever so conflicted
Whoever I once was
That girl, she has been evicted
I need to rise above...
Go back to the way I used to love

Surrender
I need somewhere to hang my head
A place I can't lose
Ever so ready for my dirt bed
It is almost ready, a perfect noose
Growing tired of fighting this war
I've tried to live, to have a good character
Questioning myself, what am I here for?
Host of depression, I am just a carrier
Tired of digging deep
I know exactly just who I can't be
Happiness is something I cannot keep
Death is the only way out that I can see
A place I can't lose
Ever so ready for my dirt bed
It is almost ready, a perfect noose
Growing tired of fighting this war
I've tried to live, to have a good character
Questioning myself, what am I here for?
Host of depression, I am just a carrier
Tired of digging deep
I know exactly just who I can't be
Happiness is something I cannot keep
Death is the only way out that I can see

Grind Me Down
Grind me down
Pour on salt
You always start with my weak spot
Rub it in
I'm wearing thin
Abrasiveness leaves ruins of my skin
Broken down
You've gotten in
Smothering, you've got me bound
For awhile I tried to survive this
Grin and bare it, no time for tears
All the while you're exuding bliss...
Destroying me with my own fears
Pour on salt
You always start with my weak spot
Rub it in
I'm wearing thin
Abrasiveness leaves ruins of my skin
Broken down
You've gotten in
Smothering, you've got me bound
For awhile I tried to survive this
Grin and bare it, no time for tears
All the while you're exuding bliss...
Destroying me with my own fears

3:36 AM
I will always remember last thing you said
"This is bullshit"
Beautiful words, forever locked in my head
Then the nurse came to increase your morphine drip
She tried give you some water, but you refused the sip
And then, well...you started to slip
Two weeks later you didn't speak at all
Just painful moans
You kept reaching out for something nobody else saw
The came the call
3:36 in the morning
You finally dropped the ball
It's not your fault
You gave us plenty of warning
It just still hurts to fall
...

My first time dealing with death of a family member
50 seconds and you only take one struggling breath
You're so close to your death
Please, if there is a god...
Just help him rest
I hope he goes to a place of peace
Down on my knees
Tears flowing freely
I hope whatever is up there can see me
I feel guilty
Here I crying and I'm not even the one dying
I'm a mess, a selfish mess
Is this my best?
Don't know how can I be strong
When one of my family is moving on
Fuckin' life...
His is gone
You're so close to your death
Please, if there is a god...
Just help him rest
I hope he goes to a place of peace
Down on my knees
Tears flowing freely
I hope whatever is up there can see me
I feel guilty
Here I crying and I'm not even the one dying
I'm a mess, a selfish mess
Is this my best?
Don't know how can I be strong
When one of my family is moving on
Fuckin' life...
His is gone

Skin And Bones Of My Own
Legs, skin and bones
I'm sorry I don't know you more
Sitting beside you in a nursing home
Your flesh is my own
I pray that there is a God
And that when your judgement day comes
He will see you as we do
Glorious as the sun
I'm certainly no nun
But I have heard
All those things you have done
You wrecked and still won
You've always been a fighter but you're gone
Please, let your chest ease
Don't struggle to breath
We all love you....
Except Alzheimer's disease

Dig
(this is about as upbeat as I can get, heh)
-Dig-
Nails muddied and torn
Scraping away at the earth with all I can manage
The drive comes from being scorned
No matter the bodily damage
I will get out of the this hole
Once again born
I will make a new past
One that I can look into and not be forlorn
I must dig much more fast
The man with the horns...
He wants my stay to last
With his spirit I am still being harassed
Although my fingers are bloody stubs
I claw frantically at the layer of clay
Forcing my...

Love You To Pieces
You were my rock
Once you were marble
All the things you did
I would just sit and marvel
I look back into my past
What it once was
The only reason I am not dead
Is because you held me when I was going too fast
I have hurt you so much
I caused so much trouble
You started to crumble
That's me, I turned my solid Mom into rubble
In you I only found trust
Then look what I do...
Reduced you to dust
Now your Dad is dying
I left you at the end of your rope ...

Tears of the soul
Tears that fall from your cheeks
Do not mean much
They are devoid of life
Like droplets of bleach
They may cover your face
Soaking you in a watery haste
Little do they know...
It is all a waste
Real pain ensues
When the heart shatters
Leaving your soul with a smothering bruise
Memories of happiness are left scattered
You think to yourself...it is of no use
Feeling so battered
You cannot find your glue
Glue that held you together at your most fractured
Do not mean much
They are devoid of life
Like droplets of bleach
They may cover your face
Soaking you in a watery haste
Little do they know...
It is all a waste
Real pain ensues
When the heart shatters
Leaving your soul with a smothering bruise
Memories of happiness are left scattered
You think to yourself...it is of no use
Feeling so battered
You cannot find your glue

DNR
There was no choice
The DNR was signed while in a state of sound mind
All I heard was decay in her voice
I'm so sorry Mom
My words eroded and hoarse
I love you so much
You know that, of course
I know all things comes to an end
That is simple but true
You are my bestfriend
I have life, I owe it all to you
I don't want to feel
Lets change the movie
I can't stand this reel
