Poet Introduction
Writing was not always a thing I did but once I found it in me it was ever so hard to walk away. Now a novice I am but discouraged I'm not for I know I have much to learn and I have a young soul...

Hope's in despair
Quote: "everything that kills me makes me feel alive"
Counting stars-one republic
Written for competition "inspiration"
I can't sleep
Because I can't stop thinking of you
Just like every single night.
The thought of you lingers here
And haunts my dreams
It won't leave my mind.
Why do I torture myself
If I already know you'll never
Ever be here by my side.
It's a pain how my heart
Sends this message to my head
Every time I lay in bed.

Can we see?
I’ve been mind blocked by the demons inside of me
Hiding the truth from the letters that were soon to be
Exposed to the world to show their fraud
Of the deal they made with the lord to keep me quiet.
It’s better late than never
When it comes to so many things in life
Things we might regret in the future
And the things we could wish we would have done,
leaving us wondering what could’ve been of our lives
If we would have gone with our gut
But instead we are left with the bitter taste
Of our own decisions that are now too late to amend
Too...

Planning my life?
What shall I do?
Is a question
I ask myself too much
Maybe a little too often
But I just want to be sure
That I’ve chosen right.
You’re young, they say,
You have the whole world in front of you;
But they just don’t understand
That I just can’t go with the flow,
I need to plan ahead and know
Where I’m going and where I’ll end
Because I know there will be no one
There to pick me up if I fall
So it’s my determined job
To make sure I don’t trip
In this life journey of mine.
I don’t expect people to understand...

Thoughts of me
Maybe I just have to let go
and just say what I wanna say
but how can I express
what I have no clue of yet.
Rhymes and flow
seem sometimes
just so hard to find
when your mind's in a ball
like tangled yarn,
being tossed around
by a playful kitty cat.
Will I ever be good enough
for the world to see
what I have to offer
or will I stay in shadows,
in the shadows of my past
with only the memories
and all the dead dreams
that went away when I lost hope
hope to find love
to find understanding
and to feel...
and just say what I wanna say
but how can I express
what I have no clue of yet.

Lingered in your memory
It's sheepish to think of you
after all these months of torture.
After all this time,
my heart still feels the pain
of this love slowly burning
every day a little less.
every day I see you here
in everything neon lime green
in every turtle shaped object;
your memories haven't dissapeared.

As life passes me by I can only think of all the possibilities that I could’ve encountered to ensure a true and long-living happy life. But the less I try to find sense on all of this the more I understand that life will never go as you plan, nor you will have what you want.
Happiness comes and goes and you never realize how long it will last until it has already passed us by like a blink of an eye. I could never be able to explain how much it hurts to know that I will never have that little bit of happiness I had with you ever again; or the resignation to know you have moved on and...

Dreams
Give me this moment of bliss,
a little ray of undying light;
show me the way to be with you,
you know I would die if I had to.
I've had an epiphany
last night as I slept;
you were thinking of me
and all of our memories.
Now is this true?
I would never know,
because I'm too afraid
for my interest to show.
I've done so well
up until now
and the cycle begins
to haunt me once again.

Can you free me?
My mind is so confused
it's driving me insane
I feel I wanna be dead
but I have to move ahead.
Can you hear me little girl?
says the voice inside my head,
come and roll up this joint
it ain't the first time
so stop trying to pretend.
I try so hard to ignore
the anxious desire within,
but this pain cuts so deep
all I can do to stay alive
is to drink it all away.

Passing time
"My love, what will you do with this mess?" You came drunk again to a messy apartment. But the mess was yours, all your clothes scattered in the living room where I was waiting on you.
"The only thing I can do, dispose of it." You were a wreck I had to get rid of. If I had any intentions of doing something with my life, I had to move away.
It had been too long since we threw everything we had into abyss and went our separate ways. You kept going on in your random love affairs after work, and I kept myself to myself; have you ever been able...

Infatuated
Infatuation
what may you be
a dazzling star in the sky
leaving me momentarily blind.
You've given me hope
the kind of hope that makes you believe
but you know it all must pass by
and at some point we must move on.
You've made me smile so big
the kind of smile that knew love
I know this is not the same
even though, it would've been nice if it was more.
Lust me, like me,
you know it's not meant to be;
and maybe in another life,
in another time, we might again meet.

silent scream
I need to vent
Can you help?
I know you're there
But your unaware
What's going on
I know exactly what's wrong
But it makes no different
This feeling of pain.
Come closer and you'll see
My lips are screaming
But my lungs have no air left
To let me project my plea
Can you help?
I know you're there
But your unaware
What's going on
I know exactly what's wrong
But it makes no different
This feeling of pain.

Cafe Girl
You took a glance at that opening door
as you heard that soothing blues song
and you found a face so mesmerizing,
filling your heart with unknown hope.
What you saw in those big brown eyes
is something you could not explain,
you just knew it had trapped you inside
and for just a moment it took away the pain.
How do you go about your life
believing you had lost all trace
of anything that could be remotely meaningful
and then get it all back with a stranger's glance?
