POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The First
Welp here we go,
First Valentines poem.
There's alot of firsts here.
I been through so much,
Yet your the first.
First one to give as much as I give.
First one to mean what you say.
First one to fix things before it's a bigger issue.
First of many things within these amazing 6 months of getting to know you.
I thank you for healing my past scars.
For having the patience dealing with my fears,
Reassuring me always.
I haven't met someone as pure hearted as me,
That's pretty great.
For this Valentines Day I feel pretty...

Remind Yourself
It's hard to be a dreamer
It's hard to feel like your the only good one left
To remember that people walk away
For the only reason
That they know they can’t afford you.
It’s hard when people keep walking out
Making you question
Your ability to be great
In fact
it’s that they question
If they can even be great to you
They let their insecurities overcome them
Don’t confuse yourself
Be that dreamer
Have that hope
Know you can have it all
Be confident
What isn’t meant for you filters it’s self out. ...

Mirror Mirror
I see you
Put your hand to mine
Pick your head up
Look at me
Your eyes are red
Whether it's the drugs
Drinking
Or the mask you wear
Look at me
It's okay to cry
It's okay to not be alright
You don't need to numb anything
Feel it
Feel why this isn't what you want
Feel why this doesn't feel alright
Feel the change it's not bringing you
Are you tired?
Yes I know
I'm here
Let's rest for a bit
May I put your phone on the table?
Perfect
Come here
Put your hand to mine ...
Put your hand to mine
Pick your head up
Look at me
Your eyes are red
Whether it's the drugs
Drinking

Look at me
It's okay to cry
It's okay to not be alright
You don't need to numb anything
Feel it
Feel why this isn't what you want
Feel why this doesn't feel alright
Feel the change it's not bringing you
Are you tired?
Yes I know
I'm here
Let's rest for a bit
May I put your phone on the table?
Perfect
Come here
Put your hand to mine ...

99.9% Of The Time
Sometimes when I am distant,
it’s 99.9% of it not really being about you.
I have to heal from things not talked about,
let go of things that hurt me,
regain the wasted energy that was drained out of me for it to serve no purpose,
refocus and make my path more clear cause along the way it got kinda blurry.
Don’t be selfish and think it’s about you.
Why can’t the first assumption be that wow you really went through so much I understand,
your really strong and to smile every day like nothing is happening says enough on how strong you really are.

To Understand
I can’t tell you what it’s like
To walk in my shoes
You had to be there
Every step
Every emotion
Every trying decisions made
Every win
Every failed attempt
Just had to be there for it all
Your not gonna understand otherwise
You can say I feel you
All been through something
to feel the same feelings
But unless you knew the order of things
To Understand
How and why I am who I am
The decisions
The mistakes made
The guilt
The fear
The pain
The Grief
The giving up
The tear...

Be patient
Calm meeting
Crowded scene
Who knew, you’d mean so much to me
Yeah I’ll be back
See you soon
To endless hugs
And high views
In and out
So indecisive
I’m sorry
I love you
I’m sorry
I can’t do this
Trying to heal wounds
Past battles
Trying to run with the WYLD
Blank promises
This is what I want
Your what I want
This isn’t what I want
Still need to grow
I’m sorry
I’m in love with you
I’m sorry
I can’t do this right now
Trying so hard to get right
Don’t...

Right people at the wrong time
Ever meet someone who’s perfect for you but not on your level?
Someone who makes you feel safe
Knows how well to treat you
Says the right things
Makes you feel wanted
Everything you didn’t get from your ex
That you wish was there between y’all
Understands you because they went through similar things or maybe worse things before
You love that they are considerate of what you been through
So are you to them
But
You had your moment of breakdown
You went through all the emotions
You had enough with feeling that way ...

Before I leave
Before I leave
Do you want to be together again?
Been 4 years,
See you one night a weekend,
Your more than that,
Let me show you.
I mean I love you.
I want a future with you.
It’s not what I want,
Now go to work.
oKaY
Heart dropped I actually felt the fall.
Keep your composure.
Put your shoes on,
Grab your keys,
You didn’t bring a bag or change of clothes,
You knew this would happen.
Walk out,
Say bye,
Drive away.

One Day
Its all on me when I choose to stay.
I know what I get,
What comes with you.
I rather fight,
Have our up and downs.
Rather than learning to love somebody
I didn't wanna love in the first place.
The thought of someone new
Makes me ache.
With someone else I'm constantly homesick, for you.
Having to explain over and over
I'm sorry I'm not ready
I have to walk away.
Just to come right back to you.
For a night.
Wishing it was forever
At least I pray one day it'd be.
It hurts you when you hurt me.
It hurts me...

You Will Not Forget Me
slap!!*
(Everyone rushes to stop it)
No.
Stand back. (Hand out to stop them)
... (stares into your eyes not breaking eye contact, teary-eyed)
You feel like no one listens to you.
No one cares what you think.
No one cares what you say.
They try running all over you and your tired of fighting.
Hitting me gives you power.
It obviously gives you happiness.
Then go ahead and beat me till I’m dead, then tell me how happy that made you. How it made things change better.
I...

I Am Poetry
I
am
poetry.
Every high, low
Every space between the letters of a word
My pain is how I met my positivity
My eyes bloodshot red most nights
Hearing Justin Timberlake saying cry me a river
It’s exactly what I did
Most my life
I was always a happy child
A soulful person
Hopeless romantic
Believe in having faith
Because when you sit on your bed at night
And cry
You’ll need that wishful hope
That hope of one day things will change
This is why
You won’t be told your so irresponsible...

Don't Wait
A lot of ppl wait until its too late
Until the white gets grey
Until the laugh begins to dim
Until the trying is no more
To finally make that move
To give back
To fight for the reason
But why when it’s too late
Baby don’t be one of them
Tell me to stay
Show me you will fill the empty holes
Tell me your the one
To not give up
It’s all I can say
It’s all you
To just do it
If you really want me to stay
If you love me enough to try
Don’t be like the rest of them
Don’t give up and wait till it’s too late
Until the white gets grey
Until the laugh begins to dim
Until the trying is no more
To finally make that move
To give back
To fight for the reason
But why when it’s too late
Baby don’t be one of them
Tell me to stay
Show me you will fill the empty holes
Tell me your the one
To not give up
It’s all I can say
It’s all you
To just do it
If you really want me to stay
If you love me enough to try
Don’t be like the rest of them
Don’t give up and wait till it’s too late
