POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Pleasures of pain is the name and writing keeps me sane.
Mountains
She came into the room,
The day I had broke down.
Her hand patted my back,
My sobs were the only sound,
Sometimes I can't move mountains,
The mountains oftenly move me,
Sometimes the sky isn't my limit,
For I can't fulfill a life that's so empty.
I've seen doctors but they don't help,
Instead of caring they write out scripts.
Emotions multiply and time is at idle,
All those shrinks couldn't give two shits,
Sometimes I can't move mountains
As easily as those mountains move me,
Sometimes the sky isn't always the limit,...

No More Anger
Cotton,spoon,needle
My tools displayed,
Intravenously so lethal,
Artery flow delayed.
Dozing,nodding,fading,
Cigarette burnt finger,
Happiness is elevating,
Suicidal thoughts linger.
Unconsciously in danger,
Knowing I'm dying,
No more anger,
I died smiling.

Gone
It's been but a moment since I seen your pretty face,
I try to keep your memory alive but with time it fades,
The more I think of you the more my heart longs to feel,
The love you used to give me because it felt so surreal.
I often lay awake at night looking into the darkest spaces,
Hoping that I'd see you once more before the thought erases.
Tears suddenly form within my eyes and my heart flutters,
Emotional tides that come and go and often I'm left smothered.
I miss you more than words can address and I feel sad & alone,
Without you here I feel like I...

Frontlines
Standing tall on the frontlines again,
Weapons in hand and united we stand.
Gonna fight these battles win or lose,
We are one nation against the Taliban,
Fighting up on the frontlines is our decree,
There's liberty in our heart,soul,and minds.
We fight to kill,taking no prisoners of war,
Avenging all the ones that prematurely died.
We're the men and women who protect all,
Sending a powerful message to the ill hearted,
The lost souls cry out for a need to be heard,
Within a war we fight,we honor the departed.
We stand...

Human machine
I have some things to get off my chest,
things that I keep hidden nonetheless.
I've been stricken and sickened by hate,
Feelings and emotions that I contemplate.
When the moments unfold I feel destracted,
Like some insane madman spun on his tactics.
I'm agrivated and elated combined with sorrow,
Multiple personality's with the thoughts I borrow.
Most of the time I don't even know who I am,
Sometimes I think I'm Bundy or the Son of Sam.
Characteristic traits that will make most scared,
These things are the most strangest I've shared.

The Bipolar Devotionals
I'm so mad that I could hit someone,
I'd do it out of spite and not for fun,
I get upset with the dire need to vent,
I need to break stuff again and again.
One minute I'm cool but the next I feud,
I'm often seeing red that twists my mood,
Can't change it or hide it so I unleash it,
Leaving destruction in my wake of epic.
Delirious and furious I'm about to explode,
Wish I could put a damper on it & implode.
I don't mean to hurt anyone but I often do,
The bipolar is my characteristic far and true.
"Bang,boom,crash" the...

Your Return
I still sit before the the doorway,
anxiously waiting for your return.
Hoping you'd come back one day,
Actually I know you will quite sure.
It's been a month since you've gone,
I still miss you and love you for you,
We had a special connection & bond,
Our love was troubled but yet so true.
I can't move on with the rest of my life,
Without you in it to love me like a lady.
When you were here by me it felt right,
We made love and you drove me crazy.
I know you'll come back when it's time,
I didn't mean to cause this much...

Cause & Effect
I'm angry and excited,
Talkative and attentive.
Oftenly not enlightened,
I'm upset and defensive.
I feel agitated and abated,
Frustrated beyond stressed,
Can't explain why I hated,
Or why I'm bipolar no less.
I break things and fix them,
Get mad and then get joyed.
This twisted shit Won't end,
I'm so tired of feeling annoyed.
One minute i feel full of power,
The next I'm pulling my hair out,
From within myself I hide to cower,
My bipolar is forevermore my bout.
I've lost more friends than I can count,
Not...

At Fault
They don't know how bad it hurts,
It hurts and it's worse than shame.
When they call me all those words.
I start believing I'm the one to blame.
It's not my fault,
No not at all.
Everyone gets ridiculed,
No matter how rich or cool.
Yesterday I seen a boy at the arcade,
He seemed detached and bothered.
Kind of like when I felt lost and afraid,
Maybe he too grew up without a father.
It's not your fault,
Not at all,
Everyone gets picked on,
No matter if your here or gone.
I keep all my troubles locked deep...

High Encounter
Time goes by ever so slowly when I'm high....
The life behind the curtain has ceased to be.
Blackness has filled the doorways of tomorrow,
When I'm high it's the only way that I feel free.
Pain has drained away and the effect is my pleasure,
Leaving the lantern unlit for the moment I'm dormant
My delirium clouds the reality that has been rewritten,
The needle pulls me in to put an ending to my torment.
"I won't be the one who'll let you down" is what they'd say,
Everybody has their promises and everyone has their lies,
Friends become...
