POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Every poem that I have written is about how I have felt at a certain time or something that I have seen or experienced. With the exception of the two horror poems that I attempted to write. I hope to inspire and help people with my poetry.

Regret
I'm the only one he loved.
I'm the one he thinks of.
I'm what keeps him awake at night.
I'm the one he pictures when you're in sight.
You haven't won because you got a man to fuck.
It's okay though because you were drunk.
No, that's not how this works.
You did nothing, but make it worse.
Not only was it one, but two who lost me.
It's okay though because I know you all see.
You see what you've lost and who you've hurt.
I didn't mean it, I didn't know that I cursed.
Maybe you shouldn't have pushed me over...

Making Myself Happy
I've always cared too much what others thought.
Always seeing what others wouldn't have bought.
Trying to mold myself into what they wanted me to be.
Letting them cover my eyes, it was hard for me to see.
I know now I can't rely on them for happiness.
Having other people's influence is just a mess.
I'm finally finding myself again.
I'm finally being my own friend.
Loving my physical appearance and personality.
Doing new things and actually experimenting.
Working on all of the things that I do not like.
Doing...

Empath
Don't you see that you're suffocating me?
Don't you see you're slowly draining me?
I feel your anger and I feel your hurt.
Just one touch, now it's my heartbreak.
I give so much for you.
And what do you do?
You say filthy things about me.
But it's me that I'm questioning.
What did I do to hurt them?
How did I cause the end?
What could I have done differently?
Who was I really emptying?
I think I'm losing my mind.
Are you leaving me behind?
After everything I've done for you?
I think it...

My Own Warrior
You did the worst things imaginable to me.
Things I'm not writing, they don't need to see.
I don't need your pity party and I don't fucking want it.
I hold my pride and my emotions will not be neglected.
The things I've been through have made me who I am.
Without these things my life wouldn't have ever began.
I'd be heartless like the rest of the population.
I'm not weak, I'm not the rest of this generation.
Misery needs company, but you won't get mine.
I'll stay two steps ahead, I will always fucking try.
I'll fight these...

Work In Progress
Finally my life is getting back on track.
I'm so happy, my self love has come back.
Me and my husband are finally doing good again.
My children have an endless amount of little friends.
I started a new job and I absolutely love the environment.
I love the people and how our time at work is always spent.
There is so much appreciation and motivating.
It makes me want to do my best while working.
I've been working on myself physically and emotionally.
I finally know myself, I now see and I'm understanding.
Why I am this way. ...

Happier Without You
Find your own happiness, you're not getting anymore of mine.
Do your own soul searching, you won't get my peace of mind.
Misery loves company, that's why I am not by your side.
I won't allow you to make me doubt myself, I know I tried.
Everything got better as soon as I was away from your negativity.
Everything got clearer when I stopped listening to your rambling.
Letting you tear my mind apart.
Letting you make my heart dark.
Thinking everyone is always the same.
Thinking everyone is on the same game.
I'm done letting...

Changing Addictions
An addiction is an addiction.
You don't need a prescription.
Yours is the needle.
Mine is the bottle.
It numbs all of my pain and clears my mind.
So I understand why you do it all of the time.
You can forget all of your problems for a very long while.
You forget all of the trauma you experienced as a child.
Your world is brightened for a limited amount of time.
It's no wonder stopping is something you haven't tried.
You forget yourself and where you've been.
You forget the positons you've been put in.

A Little Bit
What am I even supposed to write?
I sit here staring and don't even type.
My mind is blank and my heart is numb.
Sadness is where my best poetry comes from.
If I could only feel something.
Even if it's fucking depressing.
My best writing happens when I'm upset or in a rage.
It awakens the words in my soul that I pour on the page.
I've avoided writing because I don't want to write about him.
I failed just by writing that line, I don't know how long it's been.
I pushed and he listened.
I left and now it's finished. ...

Addiction
What am I supposed to write about if it's not you?
You're the only thing occupying my mind, it's true.
Endless scenes play over in my mind and they won't go away.
I want to run to you and spill all of the things I couldn't say.
The things I was too scared for you to hear.
The things that were canceled out by fear.
I want you to know how special you are to me.
I want to show you, but how do I make you see?
You're broken and I don't know how to put together the pieces.
I don't have the power you think, the power that you're...

Your Words Hurt
Call me psycho, call me crazy.
Call me a bitch and even lazy.
I need to grow up and stop being childish? Excuse me while I go and grow.
You can sit there and watch me become the best version of me, so behold.
This is me and who I'm supposed to be.
This is actually a good person, you see.
Your words cut deep and make me question my intentions.
Your words hurt and make me question all of my decisions.
I take them in and actually think I did something wrong.
I pick myself back up and remind myself to be strong.
You're just...

Parental Confessions
I'm sorry I easily lose my temper and get too angry.
I'm sorry you don't like the food when you're hungry.
The house is a mess and the food supply gets short.
The laundry baskets are piled up with no time to sort.
What you don't see is the meals I miss so you can have five.
You don't see all of the sleep I lose to make sure you're alive.
I'm sorry I scream when you jump off the couch.
It's just my heart skips when you even say ouch.
Every little thing awakens my greatest fear.
The fear that one day you wouldn't be here. ...

All About You
I remember always sharing my poetry on Facebook.
Making a post, letting all of my friends take a look.
How do I do that now without them knowing?
I'm too scared that they would start showing.
Showing you the words they know are all about you.
You reading the words knowing that they're all true.
Knowing that I actually felt something.
But those feelings I keep on fighting.
I try writing about something else, anything else.
I try distracting myself, but nothing seems to help.
I don't understand this, I used to hate you. ...
