POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I observe everything around me, I analyse my thoughts then I just write it down. Been writing lyrics since 16 and poems since I was a little kid.
Would You Like To
Would you like to know me
To understand the depths of my soul
I can show you
The secret
To life
To love
To happiness
Come a little closer
I will comfort you
Make you safe
Make you brave
Make you strong
Make you feel again
You can crumble
Cry
Release
I will hold this space
For you
You will grow
Into your authencity
This is my gift
For you
To understand the depths of my soul
I can show you
The secret
To life
To love
To happiness
Come a little closer
I will comfort you
Make you safe
Make you brave
Make you strong
Make you feel again
You can crumble
Cry
Release
I will hold this space
For you
You will grow
Into your authencity
This is my gift
For you

Hidden Desires
She plays it too cool.
Too cold. Too casual. Too quiet.
So she will never be too much, too loud, too intolerable.
She says nothing, she doesn't initiate. She follows cues, only reflecting what is given.
She becomes too plain.
But she likes to touch, to taste, to cry, to be afraid.
She wants to feel anything other than the everyday.
She likes to listen, to offer hope,
To make you feel less strange.
She will tell you, you belong
You have a place.
And she will hide away.

You Could Try
If I could chose you I would
But the decision is not solely mine
You'd have to choose me
Choose hope choose life.
I watch you choose fear
It hurts
Knowing what I know
The wisdom I've grown.
Reluctant to be near
The worst
Sowing what I sow
It should be clear.
That I am safe.
That I am real.
There is a way
To think and feel,
great feelings, great thoughts.
It's not all, pain and hurt.
I know my worth.
That you don't see.
I could lift you up.
But I will watch

Everyday Dreamer
I dream everyday.
Every moment
Of everyday
I long for change
I dream of beauty
Peace
Stillness
Safety
Love
And everyday a nightmare unfolds before my eyes.
I hope one day I wake up
And find joy.

Alone
I am alone
A life of solitude
This is my fate.
Others look in.
But never join in.
They do cheer
So Strong!
So Brave!
So Inspirational!
So Beautiful
So Intelligent
It's painful.
You can be a million amazing things.
It means nothing.
It won't get you love
Or friends
Or hope
Or progress.
People will lie.
They will say they like you
Or even love you.
But they will fade away.
It's just a taste.
So you really know what you are missing.

Or is it me
In my moment of vulnerability I admit I want you.
I want you more than I think I should.
I think I'm pathetic, weak, ignorant.
I'm not special.
I've never been anything more than this.
I want you to say the worst things to me In our privacy.
But outside of that I am insecure.
Keep me around I'm what you are looking for.
Will you tho , will you want when boredom sets in.
After we have explored everything.
My inadequacy wearing thin, am I too much. Too intrusive, too much work, too plain. Too...

Self Constraint
I see in shades of questioning.
Never certain of anything.
Except of my inner self. Raw gold unchatered, unchanged, untapped potential.
The outerself a mish mash of distractions, stupid thoughts, the unessential.
I am bigger than I allow. I am detailed beyond comprehension.
Simplicity does not reside here.
Unacknowledged no mention.
Only chaos, only confusion, only tension.
Would you like to get to know me, under the surface.
To see the truth. I'm saving the truth, holding out.
I gave you the biggest taste, a mistake?
I lay...

Silly Heart
You are beautiful to me.
I see it so clearly.
It's captivating.
Am I the only one that sees?
That hears? That feels?
Like I do.
Is beauty just for girls?
Can I say you, a man is beautiful?
Surely so.
I am compelled to be close.
But not you, not for me.
You won't come near.
Am I not beautiful?
Is it not clear?
Am I plain?
Am I the only one unseen?
Ignored? Dismissed?
Surely no?
Is beauty just for other girls?
Can I a nobody, ever be beautiful?
I don't know. ...

I'm Invincible
I'm invincible
I can do it all
I raise my kids
Clean my house
Groom my pets
Study my degree
Work my jobs
Keep my thoughts to myself
Smile on cue
Nod, look interested, pay attention, don't fidget, focus focus focus.......
Ignore the pressure
I got this
Take the rubbish out
Take the bins out
Pay the rent, the mortgage, the water rates, land rates, power, uni books, clothes for the kids again, more food, endless train tickets, driving lessons, school fees, school books, uni books, excess water, pet rego.......

Brave Escape
I'm not afraid of you
I remember how it used to be
I never had the right answers
There was always a reason
To put me in my place.
I was so ashamed of you
Of how you abused me
It was like a life sentence
It was always the season
For a punch in the face.
One day I got away from you
I was feeling brave
Goodbye my brother
I felt saved and safe.
But I never truly got away.
There were always others.
That acted the same.
So now I choose solitude.

Who's Burning Who
I'm in a good place.
A happy time.
I'm feeling strong.
I feel inclined.
To light a match.
And watch it burn.
To get detached
From all I've learned
To fuck it off
To fuck it all
To fuck right off
Yeah fuck the world.
Tear it down
Till grim n bare
Laugh out loud
Grin n stare.
Into their souls
Into their secrets
Into their lies
Make em eat shit.
Make them cry
It feels so right
Looks so perfect
It'd be so worth it.
Destruction chaos ...
A happy time.
I'm feeling strong.

Into their souls
Into their secrets
Into their lies
Make em eat shit.
Make them cry
It feels so right
Looks so perfect
It'd be so worth it.

I won't make you.
Am I just waiting for you to say Goobye
Will you run from me
and choose to hide.
Probably
Because you said you were afraid
Do you contemplate, your escape.
It hurts
Not getting real chance.
To love, to grow, due to circumstance.
Beyond my control
Before we even met.
Someone took my chance
And made it theirs.
I like you, I really do
Authentically
Genuinely I say it true.
But you will refrain
You will be distant.
I will secretly feel
And play it cool
Give you time
Give you...
Will you run from me
and choose to hide.
