Poet Introduction
I've been writing sense I was in elementry school. First poem was on tears, so that gives an indication of my mental state. My style is different, strange even. I don't really no how to explain it.

Lost.
So bloody lost.
Why is life this way?
Why do I play,
a puppet,
a marionette?
who let's others pull my strings.
But who pulls the strings?
Sure as hell ain't me.
Do as I'm told,
don't talk back.
Or I'll get smacked,
though not literally.
That is not alright, however,
verbal abuse is ok.
"Suck it up.
You'll be fine.
You think I'm hurting you?
Let me tell you a story,
of when I was young.
Here are my woes,
Listen.

Falling Within
down, down
spiraling farther
and farther
out of control
down a hole
where does it lead?
probably to hell
but who knows
'till the bottom is reached
where is the end?
where are the rocks?
where is the light?
I don't know.
I cannot see.
am I truly me?
I need help.
I am fine.
I get a few scrapes
from bouncing off walls,
from hitting unseen objects,
yet those don't bother me
I welcome the pain
a calming sharpness
a way to focus
on something...

All is Well
heart beats fast
breath comes slow
calm down
calm down
all is well
thoughts race by
brain can't process
to many
to many
all is well
muscles clentch tight
grip stays soft
don't squeeze
don't squeeze
all is well
unclench the jaw
tone mustn't darken
stay happy
stay happy
all is well
say the phrase
believe the phrase
repeat it
repeat it
"all is well"
over and over
again and again
it's true
it's true ...

Blood is Red
blood red
red blood
so much red
so much pain
a butterfly
a broken knife
a red, red rose
filled with thorns
droplets of blood
falling petals
oh my heavens
the butterfly dies
a knife becomes whole
a stab in the back
a thrust into the heart
up down
turn around
spin
twirl
blood spurts out
step, step
crush the small corpse
roses all around
mourning or love
what do they mean?
covered in red
from top to bottom
covered in blood
from flower to stem
a room...
red blood

Don't Tell
empty walls
forgotten spaces crowded allies
foul smelling
hush up,
don't tell
what's seen
you've heard
the screams
cover ears
closed eyes
silenced mouth
walk away
head down
don't look
all around
pleading whispers
silent screams
hopeless whimpers
violated dreams
once young
now old
was new
quickly used
don't tell
what's seen
within the
foul smelling
cover ears
crowded allies
walk away
forgotten spaces
don't look
empty walls ...
forgotten spaces crowded allies
foul smelling
hush up,
don't tell
what's seen
you've heard

cover ears
closed eyes
silenced mouth
walk away

pleading whispers

don't tell

don't look

Broken, Cracked, Empty
An empty shell
a broken girl
curled on uneven land
I cry
where did the cracks come from
why can't I scream
please make it stop
please say everything will be okay
tell me lies
the truth is too painful
talk to my eyes
though i'm dead inside
let me be
let me die
all alone
always alone
I smile
I laugh
I'm not broken
fake
false
liar
I am broken
I am crazy
I've gone mad
but who cares?
no one will fix me
no one will miss me ...

Here I Lie
Softly falls
the light of day
upon the sound
of your last goodbye
in comes darkness
from above
giving comfort
while I die
a shot in the stomach
a stab in the back
one real wound
one only figurative
this is not how
I thought dying would feel
a spreading numbness
thoughts of, "please, don't let me die"
too little pressure
so much blood
no one can save me
as you walk away
the light of day
upon the sound
of your last goodbye
in comes darkness
from above
giving comfort
while I die
a shot in the stomach
a stab in the back
one real wound
one only figurative
this is not how
I thought dying would feel
a spreading numbness
thoughts of, "please, don't let me die"
too little pressure
so much blood
no one can save me
as you walk away
