POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
"Life can feel like such a drag but it can also feel like such a relief"
Life or Death
Stuck in between
Unable to decide
As i go deep in thought
Living with pain
Living while facing new challenges
Living and experiencing new things
Living with heartbreak and mistrust
Living and having fun with the people i care about
Dying for no reason
Dying with regrets
Dying knowing i am leaving the ones i care about
Dying knowing i will never see what will happen
Dying losing a chance for love
What is there for me ?
Living only causes me more pain
While dying will cause pain for
My loved ones ...

Faint messages
Waking up in the night
Panting for air
As i see faint images
Go in and out of my mind
Remembering something
That i lost years ago
It haunts me to this day
No way to take back what i have done
Only able to walk forward as you torture me
These nightmares are trying to tell me something
I just don't know it yet
As i see a shadowy figure creep behind
As it takes my life
What are you trying to tell me?
Looking in the background
Seeing a graveyard
Of all the people i lost
I see one that is open
As...

Gates to hell
Nothing left
No soul
No reason
No love
No hate
What can i do?
As i stand in front of the gates to hell
As it drags me closer
Left with nothing
No strength to continue
It is time to go
If only i had a purpose
If only i had love in my
Broken heart
If only i had something to drive
Me away from hell
Going closer and closer
If i had a reason to stay
Love eludes me
Redemption is hopeless
Hate forever gone
Destruction is pointless
The gates open
Is this the end for...
No soul
No reason
No love
No hate
What can i do?
As i stand in front of the gates to hell
As it drags me closer
Left with nothing
No strength to continue
It is time to go
If only i had a purpose
If only i had love in my
Broken heart
If only i had something to drive
Me away from hell
Going closer and closer
If i had a reason to stay

Redemption is hopeless
Hate forever gone
Destruction is pointless
The gates open

Twisted past
Stuck in the past
Forced to relive my mistakes
Trapped in an endless cycle
Forsaken in a cell contemplating the choices
I made in my life
Seeing another day while
Another loses their life
Unable to see the pain
I caused
Curse to remember the sorrow i created
Losing the strength
To continue
As i see those i lost
As i see the ones i killed
Holding in the agony and aguish
As it grows inside me
Reliving every moment
Like it was yesterday
As i watch from a distance
Seeing the blood squirt ...

A Shell of My Former Self
Losing time
As the days go by
As the years go by
Becoming something
That will change the world
A shell of my former self
Unable to feel
The cuts and bruises
That cover my body
Unable to see
The blood that drips
From my hands
Losing my very being
Becoming more and more
Heartless with every moment that passes
Unable to stop to see what i am becoming
Not fearing that i will become the one
The one who will sacrifice himself
While the others live on
Losing the ability
To touch
To...

Pain
We all love
We all hope
We all seek peace
We all feel pain
Pain is universal
Everyone has pain
But everyone has
Different amounts of pain
Pain will always be the same
It does not matter
What happen
To losing a loved one
To being heartbroken
To being stabbed in the back
Pain will always be there
But it is our choice
To do with all this pain
We all hope
We all seek peace
We all feel pain
Pain is universal
Everyone has pain
But everyone has
Different amounts of pain
Pain will always be the same
It does not matter
What happen
To losing a loved one
To being heartbroken
To being stabbed in the back
Pain will always be there
But it is our choice
To do with all this pain

Never Alone
You may think you are alone
But you are not
You want to hide your pain
But you are only causing more
I will always be with you
As long as you hold the key
You want to be alone
Away from people
Who cause you pain
Who tell you
That they are worthless
But you don't believe them
You never let them in
While you try to find serenity
Especially when they are the ones
Who hurt you
Are you sure that they want to hurt you
As you are trapped in your thoughts
We see you thinking we can help
But all...
But you are not

While you try to find serenity
Especially when they are the ones
Who hurt you
Are you sure that they want to hurt you

Not wanting my help
All this time i spent with you
Telling you things
Thinking that i can separate
You from all your pain
Was it all for nought?
As i look at you
I look back to the things i said
Wishing i could turn back time
If only i never told you those things
As i leave you be by yourself
I am happy for you
But worried about you
But i know this is what you want
I am sorry that i did not see it before
Only causing you pain
Seeing you sad hurts my heart
I don't love you
I don't hate you
But all i want to...

Journey pt 2
Waking up
In the cell
I see that they left the key in it
I turn the key
As i get out
I look for my stuff
Walking around i find that i am the only one to be captured
As i strive to find my equipment
There are two guards
Next to my stuff
Left with no choice
I go up to them
And beat them up
As i get my swords and equipment
I stab them
And as i hold my blades
I see them drip blood
I sheath them
Trying to escape
I have to fight soldiers
Carrying swords
Fight after fight ...

Leave me be .....
Tired of the world
And what it has to offer
Trying to stay alive
Is a hopeless cause
Always running away
From my problems
Tired of it all
Just leave me be
Sick of it all
Just leave me be
Hope is forever forgotten
Standing alone
Saying time to leave
This place
Nothing holding me back
Nothing is in my way
Sick of this forsaken world
Stabbing myself
Saying goodbye
Bleeding rivers
Of blood
Leave me be ....

Journey
Born into a world of hatred
Everyone around me hates me
Because i am special
Different in blood
It is because i am split
In between the races
One side being humanity
The other being an elf
Able to warp time
Able to use weapons
Leaving the only people
Who care about me
Seeing their faces as i leave
While others turn around and
Say "good riddance "
Unwanted anywhere
I travel to a city full of priests
And nuns
Offering myself
As they look at me
In digust
...

Alone
A lost confused girl
Traveling alone
Going place to place
Seeking help
I see you
Thinking to myself
Is she lost ?
I walk towards you
You see me but say nothing
I extend my hand
You grab it
Trying to help
I walk with you
Showing you where to go
Telling you what to do
You stay there nodding
As i leave
You tap me
Saying thank you
I do nothing and leave
Looking back i see your
Depressed face
Determined to continue walking
I turn around
Walking away
Traveling alone
Going place to place
Seeking help
I see you
Thinking to myself
Is she lost ?
I walk towards you
You see me but say nothing
I extend my hand

Trying to help

Saying thank you
I do nothing and leave
Looking back i see your
Depressed face
Determined to continue walking
I turn around
Walking away
