POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Often flawed, rarely favored.
Misconception.
You cut me open and left me raw
I know you know; I've screamed it in your face a few times
Dragging your name through the mud and laughing all the while
You should know now, this is not an apology
I will turn up my nose and shudder at the sound of your name
and the chances of me forgiving you isn't even worth mentioning
The thought of you hugging toilets, vomiting your mistake
Well, it makes me smile
But believe this...
It was never my intent to make you feel
as if you hadn't once made me glow
I know you know; I've screamed it in your face a few times
Dragging your name through the mud and laughing all the while
You should know now, this is not an apology
I will turn up my nose and shudder at the sound of your name
and the chances of me forgiving you isn't even worth mentioning
The thought of you hugging toilets, vomiting your mistake
Well, it makes me smile
But believe this...
It was never my intent to make you feel
as if you hadn't once made me glow

Gutter Bitch
Splinters on the tongue
keep sucking that lie
Broke your neck looking for bliss
They're all laughing now;
"Whore! You can fuck my kiss."
Get a warrant for those tears
'cause they're cheaper than alcohol
Crushing on you never was too fun
but my heel grinding into your head is a favor delayed.
Not so pretty with a hole in your skull
Lick the filth as it pours; you're so full of shit
so get up, get gone, slither away serpent scum
'Cause if I ever see you again I'm escorting you straight to Hell.

laceration.
Crooked as sin and all those wasps swarm
filling up my throat
These blisters on the inside
Prettier than the plastic outside
Pheromone sweet pheromone
But don't you dare touch me!
Starfuck sad scum, cater my self loathing
And if I didn't have this hum
This contemptuous buzz
Maybe I wouldn't tear at my hair
Lacerate me, dedicate me
But don't you dare trust me!

.what.
It's not like I'm waiting for something great
or anything of the sort.
But, God, could you hurry up?
It's only a matter of time before I start..

Allow me to find my mett.
Won't you stop clinging
It's a gross habit
Those mistakes won't ever leave
and time after time you repeat-
"Oh but I've learned, I swear
...I'll never do it again."
Well it isn't enough
You're just as feeble as before
No amount of self
dependence
discovery
disdain
will change this
I'm done waiting for the big apology
Forgiveness is my only cacoethes
Let me know it's okay
Let us be whole again
I want that out of body embrace.

Well it's easy to swallow bullets
but peach schnapps taste much better
and I think I forgot to turn off the stove,
nevermind that...
The clock ticks on for hours
Television
Fan
Alarm
Sirens
just murmurs
and it's beautiful you know
Listening to that white noise
eyelids like a strong winter coat
Shielding from pitiful reality
That beautiful, beautiful void
but peach schnapps taste much better
and I think I forgot to turn off the stove,
nevermind that...
The clock ticks on for hours
Television
Fan
Alarm
Sirens
just murmurs
and it's beautiful you know

Abolish The Monster
Parasite digging through
Through my sanctuary.
Want to feed off me?
You want me to
To enable this cycle of mishaps..
I don't think so brother,
I'm just not fit to be a mother.
No, no.
I won't carry the disease
'Cause I won't be saving anybody.
Not against babies
But I sure am against mocking my body.

Starving for Hipbones.
Looking in the mirror
and Ana's looking back.
She's taunting
Breathtaking
and more importantly, she's right.
What I'd give
to watch the skin peel back
Reach in and pull
and throw these bones;
Breaking that blessed mirror
Breaking Ana
but she builds me up, to take me down.

My biggest fear
You rise to the sky
A contortion of autumn leaves
leaving me behind
and my knees get weak
Throw myself to the earth
Twigs stab but they don't hurt
Useless tears salting my mud caked face
Nails break, clawing at the dirt
Digging
Hoping to bury myself alive
Nothing matters, absolutely nothing
Mother, you've left me cast aside.

Nothing matters, absolutely nothing
Mother, you've left me cast aside.

life
I woke up, first.
Opened my eyes, second.
I made breakfast, it was all burnt.
Didn't waste time getting dressed,
I did make notice to dye my fading roots.
Obviously, I have my priorities straight.
I cried for fifteen minutes,
A cry a day keeps the killing sprees away.
...I made that up, nothing else justifies it.
My family fought once,
Fought twice,
Fought thrice.
I would go on but I suck at math.
The car ride was fun;
"Why should I care about her?
She doesn't care about anyone else.."
I do care,...

The shittiest haiku ever
Set here to suffer
Drink up to the endless pain
While God gets last laugh
_______________________________________________
Excuse me while I beat myself with thorns.
My first haiku, unimpressed.

The unconforming believer
My faith does not lie between pages of ancient scripture,
Constantly being rewritten in order to conform with barbarics.
Nor do I bow down to a king whom I must also fear,
Remorse I feel for the kids raised brainwashed by storybook sadomasochism.
I don't cheat my integrity on Tuesday and feign Saint worthy on Sunday,
Like the Priests who get their dicks wet in the name of the Lord.
