POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing since I was about 11-12 years old and I'm not sure if I'm any good but it helps me work through how I feel. I am hoping to take Poetry classes in college.
I am more than just my body
I am more than just my body
Or numbers on a scale
I am more than those grades
That say I pass or fail
I am more than just my body
Not a meaningless piece of flesh
I am more to this world
But am judged none the less
I am more than just my body
I have a mind and a soul;
A heart that can be broken or made whole
I am more than just my body
Not an object for your use,
Your jeers, taunts and verbal abuse
I am more than just my body
Not a toy meant to amuse
I am more than just my body
My face or my size ...
Or numbers on a scale
I am more than those grades
That say I pass or fail
I am more than just my body
Not a meaningless piece of flesh
I am more to this world
But am judged none the less
I am more than just my body
I have a mind and a soul;
A heart that can be broken or made whole
I am more than just my body
Not an object for your use,
Your jeers, taunts and verbal abuse
I am more than just my body
Not a toy meant to amuse
I am more than just my body
My face or my size ...

Shrouded No More
Your broken words and blatant lies
Use to cut me like a thousand knives
I sit wondering what I did wrong
When it was you who hurt me all along
Your toxic breath soaked with sin
Betrays the monster deep within
Disguised you hide in the form of a friend
And slowly try to make me bend
Your words are venom your tears are tricks
And seeing you makes me physically sick
You manipulate as you please
And get mad when I don’t bend a knee
Your selfish act has destroyed my life
And with an indifferent air, you ignore the strife
My...

Hidden
My hearts a pool of acid
My tears are shards of glass
I sit in the darkness
As time goes flying past.
I watch in silence
I cant breathe
As my world collapses
Was it all just make believe?
A series of lies?
Lies I told myself
Were they your design?
Was this the plan?
Manipulate my mind
And twist my soul
So when you were done
I was no longer whole?
A shadow of who I was
A spectre in my life
Floating through the cacophony
The despair
I'm Drowning now
Drown in the waves of regret ...
My tears are shards of glass
I sit in the darkness
As time goes flying past.
I watch in silence
I cant breathe
As my world collapses
Was it all just make believe?
A series of lies?
Lies I told myself
Were they your design?
Was this the plan?
Manipulate my mind
And twist my soul
So when you were done
I was no longer whole?
A shadow of who I was
A spectre in my life
Floating through the cacophony
The despair
I'm Drowning now
Drown in the waves of regret ...

Painful Silence
Angels fall in painful silence
Feathers fall in slow descent
The downy rain with no pretense
Coats the earth in a soft blanket
Like snow it falls.
Crimson stains the downy surface.
First the white now the red.
Blood it falls as war goes on.
Light against dark, good against evil,
Right against wrong.
Where is the line between the two?
What is light and dark?
No visible difference to discern
Both believe they are in the right
But to their origin they return.
There is no black or white, good or evil,
Right or wrong ...
Feathers fall in slow descent
The downy rain with no pretense
Coats the earth in a soft blanket
Like snow it falls.
Crimson stains the downy surface.
First the white now the red.
Blood it falls as war goes on.
Light against dark, good against evil,
Right against wrong.
Where is the line between the two?
What is light and dark?
No visible difference to discern
Both believe they are in the right
But to their origin they return.
There is no black or white, good or evil,
Right or wrong ...

Childhood Lost
We watch with disenchanted eyes
As the future comes to pass us by
What once brought joy
Is revealed as lies
And brings to light
The turmoil inside
We stagnate in our hollow lives
Lost from us are the enthusiastic drives
A dark cloud to eclipse the sun
Our childhood illusions
Have come undone
A restless soul in human guise
Dreams of freedom slowly die
With heavy hearts and severed ties
We see a future with blackened skies
And in the dark we see
A life lead in melancholy
We travel the world as ghosts ...
As the future comes to pass us by
What once brought joy
Is revealed as lies
And brings to light
The turmoil inside
We stagnate in our hollow lives
Lost from us are the enthusiastic drives
A dark cloud to eclipse the sun
Our childhood illusions
Have come undone
A restless soul in human guise
Dreams of freedom slowly die
With heavy hearts and severed ties
We see a future with blackened skies
And in the dark we see
A life lead in melancholy
We travel the world as ghosts ...
