POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm also on allpoetry and postpoems. Just joined poetryfarm.co/ke if you would like to keep following me.
Believe
Please don't cry little one
Daddy will make your tears fade away
Don't be sad precious one
Daddy will make your world bright today
Don't be afraid my son
Sometimes you will fall and that's okay
Just don't give up and run
Sometimes all that you can do is pray
Trust in yourself and you can do anything
Look in yourself to find what you are missing
Free your mind and you'll start to see
All you have to do is believe
Don't get mad little one
Daddy will help you find your way
Don't lose hope my sweet one
Even...
Daddy will make your tears fade away
Don't be sad precious one
Daddy will make your world bright today
Don't be afraid my son
Sometimes you will fall and that's okay
Just don't give up and run
Sometimes all that you can do is pray
Trust in yourself and you can do anything
Look in yourself to find what you are missing
Free your mind and you'll start to see
All you have to do is believe
Don't get mad little one
Daddy will help you find your way
Don't lose hope my sweet one
Even...

Look what you've done
Everyday that passes by
I feel the pain burn up my life
and no matter how hard I try
it will never heal with time
But everything will come and go
and there will be nothing to show
what all I have been through
and it’s all because of you
-Look what you’ve done to me now
See how you’re bringing me down?
Look what you’ve done to me now
See how you’re making me drown?- (Chorus)
Every time that you walk by
I feel the pain eat me alive
and no matter how hard I try
I will never be alright
As...

See how you’re bringing me down?
Look what you’ve done to me now
See how you’re making me drown?- (Chorus)
Every time that you walk by
I feel the pain eat me alive
and no matter how hard I try
I will never be alright

Can't Remember
My blood soaked plan to bury the mistakes I’ve made
Has fallen through the cracks in the floor because I’ve changed
-So much that I can’t remember
What I am supposed to be
So much that I don’t remember
Who I am supposed to be- (Chorus)
The time I’ve spent retracing my steps has been
A waste of time, it seems this pain will never end
And I cannot mend
Because I have changed
-Chorus-
How am I supposed to be
The man I need to be
When all I ever see
Is how cold I can be
I’ve changed –...
Has fallen through the cracks in the floor because I’ve changed
-So much that I can’t remember
What I am supposed to be
So much that I don’t remember
Who I am supposed to be- (Chorus)
The time I’ve spent retracing my steps has been
A waste of time, it seems this pain will never end
And I cannot mend
Because I have changed
-Chorus-
How am I supposed to be
The man I need to be
When all I ever see
Is how cold I can be
I’ve changed –...

Pointless
Well, I guess I don’t really know
what it’s like to believe in someone else
and I guess this just goes to show
that I’ve always ended up by myself
The fear of being all alone
breaks right into my skin and conquers me
I’m waiting for my time to come
but until that day I’ll never believe
-It’s pointless for me to keep trying
it’s useless for me to keep hiding
cause it’s me that needs to start moving
on with my life that I need to start living- (Chorus)
I keep things bottled inside me
and don’t open them up to...

Truth
I’m confused, can you help me?
My mind is on distortion
I’m afraid of losing my heart
I’m afraid of this obsession
I don’t know what’s left to feel
I can’t escape these tensions
I need to try and just breathe
But I don’t know my own reflection
-You can’t just walk away from me
Forcing me to look the other way
Can you help me see the truth?
I’ve missed out on so much.-(Chorus1)
I don’t know why there’s only war
Left of this constellation
I can’t run and hide anymore
Get me out of this strange...
My mind is on distortion
I’m afraid of losing my heart
I’m afraid of this obsession
I don’t know what’s left to feel

-You can’t just walk away from me
Forcing me to look the other way

I’ve missed out on so much.-(Chorus1)
I don’t know why there’s only war
Left of this constellation
I can’t run and hide anymore
Get me out of this strange...

Infected
You always make me feel like I’m dead inside.
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell
-Cause you’re an infection
to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.
It is a deadly illness like no...

Die Alone
You're not mine
you never were
you'll be better off alone
You're not fine
you've always hurt
I will let you die alone
(Chorus)
There's no excuse for what you did
you never wanted my feelings
you tried to kill me from within
but you failed and now I'm healing
because...
You're not mine
you never were
you'll be better off alone
You're not fine
you've always hurt
I will let you die alone
-Chorus-
I bet you're ashamed to tell me
ashamed to tell me where you've...
you never were
you'll be better off alone
You're not fine
you've always hurt
I will let you die alone
(Chorus)

Never let me breathe
My mind is lost
I'm out of place
dont know the cost
I have to face
I've seen it all
there's not much to see
I tend to fall
when you look down on me
I cant sit around here anymore
cause you wont listen to me
I wont stand around here anymore
cause you never let me breathe
(Chorus)
I come down here
just to watch you crawl
I make your fear
stronger than you are
One day you'll realize
just how far you can get
without me in your life
saying how far you will get
...

Battleship
You cant pretend that you didnt drag me down
And now you must realize that I havent been around
to witness your mistakes or your biggest fall
and to see the look on your face as you called
for my help but I was nowhere to be found
and I guess you were stuck there lying on the ground
When you feel the pressure rising up
Take a step back just in case you slip
You've let me crawl through your fingertips
just as my fire sunk your battleship
(Chorus)
Now that I dont think of you at all, I'm fine
My thoughts are all the same...

Reborn
You show me that it's okay to see again
to breathe again
and feel again
You let me know it's alright to smile again
to live again
to love again
You cut away the pain
make me feel again
and you show me what it's like to be reborn
(Chorus)
You let me know it's okay to be myself
release myself
and free myself
You help me find a way to design myself
define myself
and find myself again
-Chorus-(2x)
I feel so alive
I feel new inside
like I'm filled with life...
to breathe again
and feel again
You let me know it's alright to smile again
to live again
to love again
You cut away the pain
make me feel again
and you show me what it's like to be reborn
(Chorus)
You let me know it's okay to be myself
release myself
and free myself
You help me find a way to design myself
define myself
and find myself again
-Chorus-(2x)
I feel so alive
I feel new inside
like I'm filled with life...

Like You
I cant feel anything now
I think my mind is numb
but how could you have known
you did all of this to me
But I guess none of this matters
cause you broke my window of opportunity
You make me feel like you have always wanted to
Although I feel like you have never wanted to
So what's someone like you going to do with me?
Because it always seems like you're in my memory.
(Chorus)
I want to feel nothing now
you cant understand why
and I can't explain how
you dont remember any of this
but I guess none...

Fallen Angel
Quietly, she sits alone in an empty home
But the home she knows doesn't know her anymore
Unkindly, now she erupts out of her disgust
But the only thing disgusting is her own soul
-And now she's too far gone
She cannot be saved
Just like a fallen angel- (chorus1)
Desperately, she tries to make her way through this life
But life doesn't want her to find a way inside
Frantically, she searches for a reason to try
But all she can find is more pain for all her crimes
-Oh, now she's too far gone
She'll never be saved ...
But the home she knows doesn't know her anymore
Unkindly, now she erupts out of her disgust
But the only thing disgusting is her own soul
-And now she's too far gone
She cannot be saved
Just like a fallen angel- (chorus1)
Desperately, she tries to make her way through this life
But life doesn't want her to find a way inside
Frantically, she searches for a reason to try
But all she can find is more pain for all her crimes
-Oh, now she's too far gone
She'll never be saved ...
