POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A Fool
I was a fool to think a change of state or a change of face, will take me from this empty place.
I'm in a relay with time and I'm losing the most important race.
Why has life just sped up?
Why has media made society so corrupt?
Kids growing up without dreaming cause they think it isn't within reach.
We tell the youth today to try hard to "be somebody"
Do we practice what we preach?
When we go to school everyday, do the teachers really teach?
Why is it so hard to keep young children out the streets?
& Why when a cop kills a black man,...

Heaven for a Second
I'm in heaven for a second
When I am with you.
I'm in heaven for a second
Our heart beats no longer as two.
I'm in heaven for a second
When our lips are intertwined and our hands are interlocked and your eyes meet mine.
I'm in heaven for a second.
When you tell me that you love me
And lord do I love you more than anyone can see.
So I'm in heaven for a second and then I come back down to earth, and I reach the ground before you cause you always put me first.
At times we may have problems and at times we may yell.
But since you take me to heaven, for...

Dear Lord may my tears dry up like a raisin in the sun.
For I have gone many days with sorrow instead of fun.
At times my fears are so terrifying, I don't know if I should fight or run.
Is there a reason why I'm troubled
Or why the severity of each single problem
Gets doubled
Perhaps I need a stronger solution
Because these pills are not enough
I dream of a better day when times are not as tough.
The reason I enjoy sleep
Is because it is the only time I purposely fall
Although the reason above all
is because while I am sleep,
I do not shed...

Too Young to Understand
There is no such thing as being too young to understand
I personally have dealt with many "adult problems" first hand.
I see the world in black and white.
I've seen people give up while others fight.
I've soaked up the sunshine and I've sat in the rain.
I've experienced many emotions, especially pain.
I have witnessed new beginnings, and I have seen a tragic ending.
I know when someone's being real and when they're pretending.
I understand the importance of money.
I know when to be serious and when to be funny.
I've been hurt by someone I love...

To Love and Be Loved
A young girl that is lost in her heart.
Unaware of how to love
Because she's never seen it so she knows not where to start.
All she had witnessed were bad romances as a teen.
She's unaware of her worth, and that she should be treated as a queen.
She can't manage to build a healthy relation because all she has to start from is a cracked foundation.
Growing up her father didn't treat her mother right, down the hall loud arguments kept her up at night.
Despite all the fear she has of love.
She wears her heart on her sleeve because in her mind she still believes...

Feelings
Feelings
I can't tell you if I'm angry
I can't tell you if I'm sad
I can't tell you how I'm feeling
Whether it's good or bad
I won't tell you why I'm crying
I won't tell you I need a hug
I won't tell you how I'm feeling
If you ask me I'll just shrug
I'll lie and say I'm okay
I'll lie and say I'm fine
I'll lie about how I'm feeling
I'll never say what's on my mind
Don't find my silence alerting
I just need to be left alone
The the truth is that I'm hurting
But I'll handle it on my own.

Patience
Patience
Having patience is a virtue
Having romance is a pleasure
Hard to love when someone hurts you.
But when you find it, it's a treasure.
To know that someone loves you
To know that someone cares, makes you wish that in your future you get to witness theirs.
The one you love will drive you crazy but yet they keep you sane.
When your connection is so deep that you share each others pain.
Please don't give up on love
I promise you will find it
Having patience is a virtue
In case you have to be reminded.

Good vs. Evil
Good vs. Evil
With my hands I have built with my hands I have broken.
With my mouth I have spit with my mouth I have spoken.
With my eyes I have seen with my eyes I have cried.
My lips may be sweet although they have lied.
My thoughts are so powerful although they are my biggest enemy.
I think of peace and I hope for serenity.
But when my heart feels bad my thoughts are no friend to me
And this is my battle with good and evil.

Confused
I'm confused on what I'm doing.
I'm confused on what I've dreamt of.
I'm confused on who I'm pursuing.
Because I'm unaware how to love.
I'm confused on where I'm going.
I'm scared of what is there.
I hate to be unknowing.
On what my future bears.
I'm confused on why I stay awake,
When there is nothing on my mind.
I'm confused on why my stomach aches.
When I look back in time.
I am confused about life.
I am confused about death.
I will probably be confused.
Until I take my last breath.
