POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing for years, and enjoy letting the thoughts flow out onto the page. I would love to write actual books, but have not dedicated the time.

Temporary Pain
I am just a mistake, I shouldn’t be here
But I chose to wear a seat belt, so here I am
Even though I don’t want to be
It should have been me, not her
I should have died; I want to, she didn’t
She was finally happy; I haven’t been happy in a long time
I’m tired of acting; I’m tired of acting for others
I cut, I’m depressed, and I’m in pain
I can’t see anything good about myself; there’s nothing
I always make trouble, I make everyone mad
Always hurt people, I hurt everyone
I want the pain to end, so, so, very bad
I can barely take it,...

Pains Face (Friends write)
If any mind was readable, how life would go on
Knowing each others feelings
And knowing what each others done
Seeing the pain in each others eyes
Outs through like a sharpened knife
In knowing the experience and feeling it too
I could sympathize and understand the truth
That in all pain is a common face
And mine is just as scarred
But in a different place
If you have the chance to view ones past
Look in deeper and understand at last
That in another life I strive to contend
I always found that in the confusion
I just want it to...
Knowing each others feelings

For Yourself
You keep telling yourself that, the one inside your mind says
You put yourself down, yet another time
It watches as you bring yourself down, one by one
Over and over
You're not good enough, you say
For your friends
For your family
For anyone around you
But worse yet, for yourself
You're not smart enough, you say
For being out by yourself
For all those schools you want
For anything to help you up
But yet again, for yourself
You're not quick enough, you say
For all the sports you see everyone play
For all the...

An Ending For All
The little boy who sits by the road, hopeless and afraid, holds
deep inside a grief so strong, it holds him down. Laughed at and
mocked he walks away, to a land for himself, shadowed and small.
The world still taunts but the less he hears, soon to fade away
into the shadows of his mind. A flower lay in his hand, soft and
quiet.
The pedals wither
Falling gently to the soft ground
Her soul stays here, his thoughts that slither
Like a snake to escape, safe and sound
The little girl who lays in the river, hidden from the surrounding ...

Passion To Wake Every Such Morning
This world is shadowed by the darkness embalmed
Where is the good, through the eyes of a loner away
I sit in a field of dying fire, waking up with a flower in my mind
Blooming with the blood of the lost, I sit and recall a memory so distant, as if not there
Forgotten souls wonder this plane, with us and without
I sit with the flower in hand, it shows me what I need
Inspiration in such little petals
Every day it blooms once more, giving hope to those who need, and strength to those fallen
Making a path I shall walk, lighting up the way
A...

Pure Love Soul
Their eyes glisten in the moonlight as the sky's soft tears crash upon their faces
A thread holds them to each other as their hearts form one
The world burns around them as they lay on the misty grass, a bed for both souls
Actions replace the words they hold in their minds, so quiet, so gentle
Lips so full form a kiss to free themselves to each other once more, that fate will surrender
Eyes so deep to hold emotion of such joy, such sorrow should never break
Upon the bodies they hold so dearly close, skin so soft, rich evil shall envy
Clear to all that each...

I Think I Have Lost My Way
I think I lost my way, taken, thrown, all taint
I have made a mess of myself, here and there
I thought the better was of what I was becoming
But as the pieces shatter and crack, I rethink
A trail left of the one I used to be, now so frail
Strong and reliable, once was I
Now weak at the simplest, delicate sanity
Alone at all sides, no room in a crowded space
Fallen to the ground upon knees once so strong
Eyes capture every moment as the ones so close, walk far away
Hands hold close the essence of what used to be
Mind keeps the moments of...

Serene Suicide
I give you my thanks, for staying so close
Yet you're always so far
I feel the need to be sorry, but I ask of no pity
I tried to hard, as the strength left me
So now is the night, that my last breath was taken
I ended my life, now I'm Hells forsaken
You need not to worry, for you're better off
I was only a burden
Life was so hard, yet simple so easy
But I couldn't take much more
Of my minds insanity
You may never know, the thoughts my mind beheld
Though lets keep it that way, so you are safe
Dangerous I was, to keep by...

Differently Me
They were all once so happy, we even had a game night once a week
We got along, hardly ever fought, yet somehow that all changed
We moved to a new place, as it was so nice we still shared happy lives
Then something started to change
My friends, oh so happy friends, with normal teenage drama
Would always look at me and think
Shes so happy, so smart, so kind with no problems
With always a smile on her face, always cheerful and fun
They never knew what really was on my mind
My family has problems, just like everyone else
My siblings had...

Minds Darkest Breaks
Maybe we think to much, or maybe to little
This world forsaken the thought of what withers around our minds
Circling the path of which to take, yet taking the opposite
The flower blooms to only wither the blood of the lost
The white ghost searches for the one in black, temping to for take
Hovering and seeking, high and low, running and walking
The thoughts surround it, tempting, whispering, warning, crying out
Faster it searches, closer yet farther, desperate
A man of white searching for her of long gone
Haunting she lurks in the shadows of his...

Tree Of Memories
Like a dead tree, branches fall to the ground, memories of the past, the ones forgotten
Every one has them, see them or not, they're there, within view or only in mind
Every thought, caged in your mind, or told on the outside, memory of the past once it has been said
Take in view, the beauty of life, chances, risks, thoughts, new beginnings
Good or bad, nice or mean, right or wrong
It's all the same, once it' said and done, it ends up the same
Distant and past, more to the story, never ending
It's all the same, ending up in the past, distant
Memories
...

You Are You
We all have those moments
Where we fall to the ground
Broken and shattered
Like rain with the wind
Blown away, to the ground we fall
Take a step, show that you can take the risk
To those who break you down, show that you're still strong
To those who say they care, but only act, show that you're better for not lying
To those who are always there for you, show that you're there for them too
Never let them go, hold them tight, never knowing when they wont be there
It's okay
Okay to let your emotions free, sad, happy, angry, hyper, let it out,...
