POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've survived a great deal. Instead of falling into a puddle of self pity and tears, I've taken the negative and turned it into positive awareness to help others through their time of need..
THE BLAME GAME
Mum and Dad, its all your fault
So, I'll blame you. For my childhood
and everything I do.
When things go wrong, I'll blame you
When I lose friends, I'll blame you and
I hope to shame you into believing this
Is true. When I lose my job, money and
my relationship too,
I will blame it all on you.
It's all your fault, to block out the pain
of my childhood blues,
that is why I use.
It's never my fault, that's my excuse
when I'm coming down and feeling blue
Its all your fault, So I'll blame you
when I steal to get on and use,
its...

NOT MY CHILD
I secretly hide and use
It's what I do,
I've got them fooled
they haven't a clue
"Oh no, not my child"
I hear them say..
Little do they know,
I self abuse everyday
I manipulate and please
telling them what they
want me to say, I don't
do drugs Mum & Dad
Are you serious? NO WAY!
Blinded by their love they'll
believe every blatant lie
"Not my Child" the apple
of their eye
Have they not noticed
the change in me?
They don't realise the money
I steal, Drugs don't come for free
Are they...

GERTY THE FUN LOVING GECKO
Life is but an echo sings Gerty
the fun loving Gecko.
If you want TRUST, you must
give trust.
If you want LOVE, you must
give love.
If RESPECT is what you seek,
you must be mindful of the
words you speak.
Always help one another for
what you send out, So shall
you reap. Friendship a gift, Do
treat them well and they'll remain
yours to keep.
Angels come in many forms,
shown mostly to those who seek.
Feathers appear when an angel is near,
Do not listen to fear for that is simply
your ego, my dear.
As Gerty the fun...

Broken Bare
Come with me my pretty
we'll run away to another city
fooled into believing his fantasies
portrayed as being wildly romantic
blind to his narcissistic flare, she
followed this egotistical maniac into
the devil's laire. Another victim taken
without love or care,
feeding off the naive and weak. For it
is the broken souls that he seeks
so skilled at what he does, she never
truly hears the vemon that he speaks.
He holds her captive for many years
playing God, invoking her worst childhood
fears.He's tricked them all, her family...

LOVE ME/LOVE YOU
When it seems like all is lost - the world is against you,
change the way you perceive, think and feel
learn to manifest love, to forgive and heal.
Believe in yourself for a healthier you.
Hope, Happiness and Positivity my friends,
it all begins within and what you do.
The master of your destiny, The author of your book,
take a big deep breath, open your heart
then have another look. Trust in self.
For mind, body, and soul, it is how we nurture inner health.
So when you start to feel a little blue,
No matter how bad life seems, Never Ever give up...

METH A CATION NATION
Welcome to the dark side of a meth a cation nation as it grabs the devil by the horns, delusional believing we ride upon magical unicorns,
flying high we all consume this money making pie.
We share it round, till it's everywhere to be found. Now it's easy to obtain
So desirable, instant euphoria, the answer to all your pain.
Never mind the damage it does to the brain.
From New York to California, Hollywood Hills to Georgia, from Washington down to the Mexican border.
We are becoming a meth-a-cation nation and it's aim is to slaughter.
It will take...

THOSE WHO DARE
With heart shaped faces, the symbol of love
angelic creatures sent from above
here on earth spreading love
bringing peace and beauty not unlike
the spiritual dove
Truth be told this angelic being
Connects uniquely with animals and plants
natures pure creatures love to dance
although practical jokers oftenplaying the fool
Rarely a spiritual rule is broken
For lifting others before self gain
living a life of turmoil and pain
is the angelic being's life path token
As spiritual laws these beings must
Invoke them
Innocent souls and...

HAUNTED
Everything's so damn vivid, so real
as I'm running through the house
He's Iced up and insanely livid
I've got to run and hide, Shh!
be quiet as a mouse
his face so red, he's got me now
eyes blank, sweat dripping from
his brow.
I'm running still screaming with
my feet not touching ground, the
screams are only in my head
my fear; I'm tied, gagged, and bound
I feel like I'm in quicksand as he
squeezes tighter with his hand
forever tossing, turning, thrashing
myself around..
It is with a sigh of relief, I hear a ...

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES
I don't hide behind my pencil
automatic freehand, all in pen
no need for a bloody stencil
I say what I mean, mean what I say.
Haters will make me famous, share me
Stalkers your most welcome any day
my material comes from the life I've lead
walk a mile in my shoes, beaten and bruised
guns held to my head, I don't live with fear
my friends are the monsters under my bed
Don't read me if you can't handle the tales that
you've read. There's little secrets I will keep until
a few more gangsters are dead, some things are ...

THE DYSFUNCTION CYCLE
As I sit here overlooking the water with
the memories of a violent broken past, once
again you've destroyed your daughter. Mum
and Dad you made me grow up so fast, drunk
and fighting all the time. My childhood years
far from sublime.
Beaten and bruised ducking and weaving punches
and knives thrown at me. How could you do this, it's
caused so much shame it's clear to see. With shame
comes emotions and low self esteem.
A failure, unlovable, a bad person, a phony, defective
believing forever indeed that was me. Emotions of
shame, unbearable pain,...

NIKE BIKIES
One club originated on the Gold Coast,
now it's over run. The sunshine state with the most
How these new young ones love to boast
Gone are the days of the old fashioned bikie
make way for the up coming young in Adidas
and a flash pair of Nike
Full of bad manners and disrespect
not patched up yet, 'anom' Nominee
also known as a prospect. These tatted up
Young fellas, full of themselves, the presidents
slaves, 'Santa's little elves'
Running around with their heads on show
the more drugs they take, the bigger the ego
trying to prove themselves...

BRAIN FREEZE
who are you fooling, but only yourself
why should you care it's only your health
ICE blocks the receptors to your brain
so the biggest excuse is; it's easier to
to get on so you can escape the pain
telling yourself this is the last time
I promise, but then you do it
again and again
I don't have a problem, we're just having fun
would you say that if aimed at your head was
was a loaded shot gun
It's the Benjamin Button drug - your old
at a young age
impaired judgement, impulsive thinking,
unprovoked emotions and feelings of rage
