POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I began to write poems as an outlet for my depression. I was told that I had a gift for it, so I kept on writing. I write what I feel.

Just Your Patsy
It had happened unexpectedly.
You came over to me.
With a flush look on your face.
Your eyes all over the place.
The expression was tough to read.
After that you did the awful deed.
It came right out of your lips.
My world then turns and flips.
"Do you want to go on a date?"
It makes me want to regurgitate.
Butterflies fluttering around.
My heart begins to pound.
Then I see the wry smile.
I didn't know you could be so vile.
Your laugh makes me drop.
The anguish causes me to stop.
My mind feels so...

Fallen Angel
I see you in pain.
Crying again and again.
Drowning in sorrow.
Today and every tomorrow.
You fall from grace.
With tears on your face.
Trying so hard to be brave.
For those you wish to save.
But you might not see.
That would include me.
Now I'd like to return what you've done.
Help you feel like you're number one.
It may not be as much as you.
Hopefully my heart is true.
Trying to show you my mettle.
Here are wings and a rose petal.
Crying again and again.
Drowning in sorrow.
Today and every tomorrow.
You fall from grace.
With tears on your face.
Trying so hard to be brave.
For those you wish to save.
But you might not see.

Now I'd like to return what you've done.

Hopefully my heart is true.
Trying to show you my mettle.
Here are wings and a rose petal.

Beneath the Surface
Feelings that run deep within.
They escape from under my skin.
Flooding out the laceration instead.
The blood runs red.
It drips off of my knee.
I feel like it's marking me.
Copious amounts rapidly gush.
My body senses the rush.
The wound won't mend.
My pain will not end.
Agony in my screams.
Nothing is what it seems.
Medicine isn't giving me repose.
Don't bother giving me another dose.
They escape from under my skin.
Flooding out the laceration instead.
The blood runs red.
It drips off of my knee.
I feel like it's marking me.
Copious amounts rapidly gush.
My body senses the rush.
The wound won't mend.
My pain will not end.
Agony in my screams.
Nothing is what it seems.
Medicine isn't giving me repose.
Don't bother giving me another dose.

Not In Sight
No matter what I do.
I'm nothing to you.
Giving you my soul.
To meet your goal.
I know you don't care.
To you, I'm not there.
At the most.
I'm a ghost.
My footsteps make no sound.
When they hit the ground.
I walk on the air.
Here, there, everywhere.
I still attempt to run.
Trying to become someone.
I'm not that dense.
It won't make a difference.
A victory I'll never attain.
My efforts were in vain.
I'm nothing to you.
Giving you my soul.
To meet your goal.
I know you don't care.
To you, I'm not there.
At the most.
I'm a ghost.
My footsteps make no sound.
When they hit the ground.
I walk on the air.
Here, there, everywhere.
I still attempt to run.
Trying to become someone.
I'm not that dense.
It won't make a difference.
A victory I'll never attain.
My efforts were in vain.

Redemption
I have made many mistakes.
But life gives no retakes.
Knowing I can't undo the past.
The iron bond made to last.
Yet the feelings remain.
Forced to face the pain.
Own up to my choices.
Listen to the crying voices.
Not sure if I'm able.
To get past this label.
I know that I've caused grief.
I'm trying to give relief.
Hopefully, my heart is true.
Sorry that I hurt you.
But life gives no retakes.
Knowing I can't undo the past.

Forced to face the pain.

Hopefully, my heart is true.

If It Were Easy
If only it was simple to let it go.
In my head, you're still my foe.
The feelings are buried deep.
Out of the cracks they still seep.
Sorrow and rage are still there.
Such a cruel and unrelenting pair.
You have to believe.
They give no reprieve.
Forgiveness is hard to reach.
It's impossible to teach.
After what's happened to me.
I still yearn for mercy.
In my head, you're still my foe.
The feelings are buried deep.
Out of the cracks they still seep.
Sorrow and rage are still there.
Such a cruel and unrelenting pair.
You have to believe.
They give no reprieve.
Forgiveness is hard to reach.
It's impossible to teach.
After what's happened to me.
I still yearn for mercy.

The Void
I've cast the agony aside.
But how do I fill the emptiness inside?
I feel the hole within me.
There is not any harmony.
Within my heart.
It's split apart.
I know that it's there.
And I want to give it care.
Free it from it's chain.
Relieve the aching pain.
Let it go bit by bit.
I know I can do it.
But how do I fill the emptiness inside?
I feel the hole within me.
There is not any harmony.
Within my heart.
It's split apart.
I know that it's there.
And I want to give it care.
Free it from it's chain.
Relieve the aching pain.
Let it go bit by bit.
I know I can do it.

My Struggle
I'm hurt and beat.
Laying down in defeat.
I lay here on the floor.
Unsure of what to do anymore.
Not wanting to feel this way.
But on the ground I still lay.
What steps do I take?
Which choices do I make?
I no longer wish to hide.
From the sorrow inside.
Trying to stand my ground.
With the vigor I've found.
Laying down in defeat.
I lay here on the floor.
Unsure of what to do anymore.
Not wanting to feel this way.
But on the ground I still lay.
What steps do I take?
Which choices do I make?
I no longer wish to hide.
From the sorrow inside.
Trying to stand my ground.
With the vigor I've found.

Transparent Target
I can't see it there.
Yet, its mine to bear.
Be that as it may.
It marks me in some way.
So that I'm left out.
I have no doubt.
That it's on my forehead.
Or my back instead.
Somehow you can tell.
You see the target well.
That's why you don't relent.
Even though I'm spent.
Where did it originate?
What was the date?
If I only knew.
Maybe I could understand you.
Yet, its mine to bear.
Be that as it may.
It marks me in some way.
So that I'm left out.
I have no doubt.

Find the Light
Lost in the black mist.
Is there a path I missed?
I know that I'll find my way.
Out of darkness into day.
This time, I won't give in.
No matter what may spin.
Even if I fumble about.
I'll push myself until I'm out.
I'm not who I used to be.
Now I can plainly see.
It's different than before.
I'm not powerless anymore.

My Friends Embrace
I thought I was alone.
With a need to atone.
But lately I've come to realize.
Beyond the sorrow and my cries.
I now have people who care.
Who will treat me fair.
That won't laugh at me.
They love me very dearly.
Angels who guide me along.
Keeping me standing strong.
Granting me their love.
Showering it from above.
Feeling the magic touch.
Thank you ever so much.
With a need to atone.

A Quick Fix
I'm feeling very weak.
My hurt is at it's peak.
Pills in my mouth.
As my life goes south.
Feeling nothing inside.
Open long and wide.
Numb away my pain.
Stare into the rain.
Throwing away my humanity.
Losing all of my sanity.
It's far worse without it.
I'm not mentally fit.
They linger and haunt.
The voices laugh and taunt.
But at the end of the day.
I can't go on this way.
My hurt is at it's peak.
Pills in my mouth.
As my life goes south.
Feeling nothing inside.
Open long and wide.
Numb away my pain.
Stare into the rain.
Throwing away my humanity.
Losing all of my sanity.
It's far worse without it.
I'm not mentally fit.
They linger and haunt.
The voices laugh and taunt.
But at the end of the day.
I can't go on this way.
