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.
A Living Dream
Everything is perfect.
There is no defect.
No regrets of the past.
Happiness that will last.
Drifting on the clouds.
Through all of the crowds.
Ride to the stars.
Away from all of the scars.
Able to be free.
To reveal the real me.
Laying in my bed.
Inside of my head.
I'm wondering why.
I can't continue to lie.
About what I knew.
And what is true.
This vision is too much to take.
In my heart I know this is fake.
There is no defect.
No regrets of the past.
Happiness that will last.
Drifting on the clouds.
Through all of the crowds.
Ride to the stars.
Away from all of the scars.
Able to be free.
To reveal the real me.
Laying in my bed.
Inside of my head.
I'm wondering why.
I can't continue to lie.
About what I knew.
And what is true.
This vision is too much to take.
In my heart I know this is fake.

Guilty Rain
It relentlessly cascades upon me.
Each drop is sharp as a knife.
They pierce my flesh very easily.
I try to run to escape the strife.
The feelings of remorse are tearing me apart.
I can't flee from this horrible guilt.
It stings repeatedly at my heart.
I can feel myself begin to wilt.
There is no where left to go.
My mind is going manic.
The fear is beginning to show.
I'm starting to cry out in panic.
I curl up sobbing in sorrow.
There is no light, I can't see.
Is there strength I could borrow?
Hoping, praying to be...

Fear Factor
Filled with fright.
Scared of your sight.
You intimidate me with your leer.
From both far and near.
I remember what you said.
The words whip in my head.
Get lost you don't belong!
It always makes me feel wrong.
My anguish fills you with glee.
I know you have power over me.
Cries of agony from my heart.
Watching my life get torn apart.
Drowning in my despair.
Severe pain beyond compare.
My grief is too much to bear.
I know that you don't care.
All I desired was a friend.
I got a bully in the end.

Bullying and Me
You stand there looking down on me.
All I want is for you to see.
What the bullying makes me feel.
My mind festers, and can't heal.
Life turns like a huge wheel.
Here I wait for the usual spiel.
Where you seek me out, and put me down.
Turning my smile into a frown.
After you are done.
You watch me run.
Laughing with your big group.
As my heart melts into soup.
The tears pour down my cheek.
I feel so utterly meek.
You were lucky is what they'd say.
Lucky to live another day.
That's what I thought.
When I got...
