POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've never really written poetry before so I am pretty new at this. Any feedback would be awesome.
The Mountain
She stood at the bottom of this mountain
It didn't seem high
She began to climb
It seemed easy
She was so full of energy
She was determined that she would get to the top
Time seemed to fly by
She felt great
Even though she barely slept and hardly ate
She'd get tired, but her breaks were short
She wanted to get to the top
She needed to get to the top
She'd have a few thoughts, but they'd eventually stop
She kept on pushing up that mountain
She felt like she was getting close --
She tripped and fell down the mountain
She got back...

Mental Hospital
They all wanna know
They wanna know why I’m here
But I think the cuts on my face and neck make it very clear
It’s not that exciting
You just sit and talk, medicate and sleep
Some nights I’ll hear people cry
As I hear them cry, I am writing down ways that I could possibly die
Let’s sleep on this hospital floor
It’s much more comfortable than the bed
Then someone begins to knock on the door
“Are you ok? Do you need anything?”
No
I just want you to leave me alone
I don’t care if I get better anymore
I just want to go home
I don’t want...

Medicate
I don’t need it
Three times a day, every fucking day
Three different medications
One for anxiety
I don’t need it
One for nightmares
I don’t need it
One for depression
I don’t fucking need it!
I skip doses every chance I get
But when I do I shake and I become someone that I am not
It’s making me worse
I don’t see any difference
Do they think they can change me?
They say it helps
They say it’s making me happier
Its artificial happiness
I can’t be happy
They tell me not to cry
But how can I not cry when all of this is...

Just Stop
What’s that on your arm?”
Scars
“Why did you do it?”
None of your fucking business
Why do you fucking care?
You are only asking just so can have another thing to gossip about
They see me look at my scars
“You look proud at what you did to yourself.”
I am.
It is a pride that you will never understand
They were my little secrets
But then those secrets got leaked
Now everybody wants to know
I have told the story one thousand fucking times
It was something that was supposed to be mine and only mine
There is no more use in hiding them...

Demons
I take my medication - just like they tell me to
Off to bed
I fall into deep sleep
No worries
Then in the blink of an eye, I am with the ones I love
No worries
Then darkness consumes my world
Demons possess the ones that I love
I ask them what is wrong but they just stare at me and smile
They look hungry
I back away as I cower in fear
I run out the door
The chase begins
There is nobody around
Nobody but me and the one chasing me
I don't know who they are because I cannot see their face
I look behind my shoulder as I run through...

f**k You
If you never wanted to talk to me again, tell me, why didn't you fucking tell me?!
You know, you're a real good liar because I actually believed you when you said that you loved me
You said we would be together
You said you wanted me to stop cutting
You never meant it
Now i'm shaking and I can't tell if it's anxiety or anger
I tried to talk to you but you never answered me
I was in the hospital and now I take medications
Is that why you don't wanna talk?
Cause i'm crazy?!
Whatever
I'm used to people hating me
You finally talk and you say you...

Sinking
Every night I lie in bed thinking
In my thoughts I start sinking
With no hesitation
I sink into an ocean full of emotion
I fall into being depressed
Then the tears sart to fall and I become a mess
Then I sink farther into anger
That's when i hit danger
The two emotions begin to drown me
Till anger and depression is all I see
Then I sink into panic
Now I begin to get sick
My head starts to pound
With sharp pains from every sound
I lose control of my body-now my master
My breathing starts to get faster
Then, like seaweed in the...

Trust
You never trust me
Why do you never listen?
I try to talk to you but you run away and cut me off
Don't you think all the shit that I have gone through would have taught me a lesson?
You never trust me
And I don't understand why
I tell you everything I do
But I guess that is just not enough for you
Will I ever be what you want me to be?
Can't you see that this is torturing me?

You Don't Care
Music calms my soul
But you don't care
You won't let me listen
I become trapped inside of my thoughts and I begin to terrify
myself
But you don't care
I begin to shake and get paranoid
But you don't care
You take away my music, you take away my life
I lose myself in the sound and all my problems melt away
But you don't care
It's the only thing that keeps me sane
But you don't care
It is the best medicine
I say it's magical, you say it's just noise
I cry and beg for music
But you don't care
You never listen...

It is the best medicine
I say it's magical, you say it's just noise
I cry and beg for music

Need
I seek the rush - the adrenaline
I seek the pain
I seek the blood
Iseek the scars
It began with "I wont get addicted, nothing's wrong with me."
Then it turned into constant mutilation of my soft, pale flesh
I needed the pain
I needed the blood
I needed the scars
It lets me know i'm alive
Now I am in a hole that i have dug so deep that I can not get out of
Two weeks sober from my addiction?
I'm physically sober
Constant thoughts of death and self-mutilation race through my mind
I begin to get scared of myself
But then, the...
