POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry since I was in 5th grade and over the years my style has evolved.....I try not to put boundaries on anything I share with the world because this is me, take me as I come or admire me as I go.....

The Last Day
When I'm lookin back at the years that have passed
Forever I shall remember
what happened on the last
the last day I heard you, watching our t.v.
the last day I saw you, look over at me
I shall never forget the last thing I did
because it was the very last day....
that I was a kid
For years I felt like shit
and of coarse....mom couldn't handle it
She was messed up before,
I mean messed up in the head
She didn't want to be here,
she actually wished that she were dead
When I'm lookin back at the years that have passed ...

Selfish Intensions
Since the first day nothing was ever real
I was never pulled aside and told "Hey here's the deal"
When you were born I should have given you up
To someone who could offer a half full cup
Someone to guide you in the right direction without any lies free of all deception
Perhaps I should have let someone actually qualified
A little more domesticated definitely dignified
Maybe some things would have been different admitting I was selfish in reality I was more than ignorant
The violence got ugly I had no control
I should have given you to a home...

Broken Little Girl
She tries to write what is in her heart
But her dreams have been shattered & torn all apart
What she believed to be real were only lies
Straight to her face with a good disguise
In the form of a mother
Come to find out she never actually had a brother
So many lies, too many tears
How embarrassing not have known all these years
Oh, why me? She says a classic but familiar line
I really cant tell you when I'll be fine
Family or friends
Where do they come from, I guess it just depends
On which hand you were dealt
The...

Two Faces
The harder I try,the harder I fall
I almost hit the ground but instead I hit a wall
The life I once lived it no loger exsist
To end it right now,I hold back and resist
I try not to think,of all the bad that I've had
Just me and my mom I never had a dad
I remember the good days,once upon a time
When wanting to be happy,didn't feel like such a crime
Why is life so painful to live
there's too many people who don't want to give
It's selfish people that take up space
There ignorent and stuck up with two sides to there face ...

Integrity
To understand,
I'd have to demand
An explanation
a complete consultation
I'll wave the fee
just don't lie to me
being dishonest is just something that I'm not good at
but at the same time I won't ever be a nark, or a dirty rat
So if you don't like it
I don't care deal with it
because the truth may hurt
some would rather eat dirt
they are scared
I am prepared
without giving a thought
from the beginning it's how I was taught
Morals and values is what I learned
respect and trust I knew had to...

Closer to my lifes end
I'm tired of always sleeping, in my clothes and on this couch
I hate waking up and being told I gotta bounce
Living out of a suitecase, is always loads of fun
If I were suicidal, I'd already own a gun
I wish I had my blanket, I'm living my worst nightmare
Life is what you make it and sometimes life ain't fare
Incomplete I still remain
Fuckked off in the head, but I block out all the pain
It's another year gone, gone with the wind
I'm another year closer, closer to my life's end
22 years have already went so fast
It seems as...

LOVE POEM

Love
Depressed and anxious
Stable but obnoxious
Speechless yet eager to be argumentive
Selfishly wanting to give
Something you will lose forever
Afraid of what you might uncover
About yourself.....something unknown
Perhaps you may have never shown
How you truly feel
instead of portraying what you thought was actually real
It probably was every bit as we saw it for what it was
Love is amazing... no matter what it does
To the people it may consume
right before Spring, when love is in full bloom
Or what happens when it's done ...
