POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
What I Want
I walk within fire and ice...
So I can have what I need,
for a couple weeks, living a lie by night.
I’m memorizing all my poems,
So I can have them ready.
In case I lose myself...
Or decide I want two free hands.
I’ve spent some of the best nights of my life. Getting lost, but in the end...
I always return to the fight without thought.
This isn’t planned out youthful poetry,
This is a need...
I could scream about...
Like something’s possessing me.
Get it out...
My life is the backstory of a fucker...
I don’t even know, fuck...

NYC
Honestly, I am pretty scared. I started out with $23, and now have less than $20. Here I am… Long Island, New York. Granted, I brought food, warm clothing and entertainment, but I’m feeling the fear of not depending on capital. True, Life is beautiful and beauty should never cost or be about money, but my worries lead me outside to light up snipes. Why? Inexperience and stupidity. In all actuality this anxiety is elation so new I equate it to fear. I’m just beginning to be overwhelmed by excitement, unknowns and this mythical place of endless skyscrapers. When I was leaving Oklahoma I got to...

My Remains
My systematic decline,
cripples my mind,
with every passing day.
Embalm me with formaldehyde,
after I die, before my body decays.
Place me on a gurney,
take me to a mortuary.
Bury me in the darkness,
seal me inside a coffin.
Then cremate my remains,
and burn me in the flames,
then spread my ashes,
on the wind and set me free.
Save me from the grave,
and cremate my remains,
then spread my ashes
on the winds of eternity.
I envision parasites,
feeding on me,
until there’s nothing left.

Obsessions Child
I will deceive you...
Then cut you and bleed you out, no doubt
You better believe...
That I will try to mislead you
I’ll lie just to bring you down, so far down
Unless you wanna learn this the hard way
You best keep your distance from me
I am not messing around
I am filled with frustration
Cause there is no salvation
From my cursed existence now
There is a fine line between love and hate
Why must you always push me away?
I’m uncertain
As...

Morphine
Situation normal
All fucked up once again
There is no escaping Murphy’s Law
What can go wrong will my friend
When I think it’s over
That’s when it will begin
Sometimes I wonder
When will my misery end
I can’t resist my destiny
No matter how I beg or plead
I will embrace reality
Until it brings me to my knees
Say my name...
Enhance my self-esteem
I’ve been so ashamed
Because I’m constantly afraid
Say my name...
Give me my...

Memories
Why does it feel...
Why does it feel like I'm falling, falling?
Nothing is real...
Except this sensation of falling, falling, falling down
I'm bleeding black...
Between the cracks, in my skin
I'm back to back...
With the wracking machine of my memories

Less Like You
I'm withering away inside
Like a flower in a flame
I severing all of my ties
So I can drift away
I'm struggling just to survive
While sinking like a stone
I'd rather be dead than alive
Cause I feel so alone
I wanna be more like me and less like you
Why can't you see...
That nothing you can say or do
Can make me be who you want me to be
There's gotta be a way for me
To make you see that I'm unique
I wanna be less like you and more like me
I'm wondering throughout my life

D.O.A (DEAD ON ARRIVAL)
Sometimes I'm Aroused...
By Danger, By Danger
Within Myself I Found...
A Stranger, A Stranger
Who Dreams Of Lashing Out...
In Anger, In Anger
I'd Rather Be Alone
Than Constantly Disowned
Like A Vagabond I'll Roam Forever
Mother, Father...
Before I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Just Remember...
That You Both Created Me
Mother, Father...
You'll Have To Face Yourselves
When I Pull This Trigger...
Someday You'll Both Join Me In Hell
The Reaper Approaches...
Then He Ruthlessly
Demands That I Take His Hand
I Was Afraid...

Dishonesty
Our Love Is stained
By the crimson from my veins
You've forsaken
Every drop of blood I ever bled for you
What can I say?
Your deception fuels my rage
Everything you said and done was fake
Make no mistake we are finally through
I know...
That you lied
So don't you try...
To hide behind foolish pride
Dishonesty goes against loves design
I know that you lied
I know that you lied
I've redefined
The meaning of my life
I've made up my mind
I'll not waste my time
I've got too much to lose
I reminisce sometimes...

Mechanical Animal
In the beginning
It seemed like the ending was inevitable
Cause I had no one to show me the way
I started out as just another pathetic animal
But I got tired of feeling afraid
No one was around to lift me up when I was down
I had to learn to pick myself up off of the ground
And then I built myself a life
Until I found
Some fucking peace of mind
And no one’s gonna take it from me
A mechanical animal
Can’t be shackled and manacled
Like a typical criminal
Cause it’ll rip you into pieces

ATOMIZED
Just when everything seems fine
I always seem to disavow
The breaking point inside my mind
Broken with the speed of sound
A voiceless void
A vast abyss
Designed to conquer
Wonders bliss
Paranoid
Beyond the curve
Waves of pressure
Your every word
Tempered steel
Severed nerves
Betrayed illusions
Endless verbs
Walking hand in with death
Hiding from myself I guess
Knowing that the end is near
Showing no regret or fear
Waiting for the end to come and when it does
I will run
Blind

Cellophane
Our Love Is Lost Along With Trust
Because Of What You've Done
Only Doubt Remains
Our Love It Rusts Returns To Dust
Because The Trust Of Love
Has Rusted Away
I See Right Through You Like Cellophane
Why Must You Lie?
I'll Erase Your Pain Like Novacain
Unless You Deny Me
I'm Dying To Prove That Our Love
Is Not Dead But Alive
I See Right Through You
So I Know What You're Trying To Hide
In The Blink Of An Eye
Everything Can Change
With The Speed Of Lightning
My Love Can Turn To Hate
Your Love Gave...
