POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction Hello. Poetry is one of the ways I’m best at communicating. All the poems I write are from personal experiences and battles I’ve gone through. I hope to relate to and or inspire readers.

Depression lingers
Much like the fog hovering over a lake,
The depression lingers and my life is at stake.
Like the moss clinging onto the rocks on the coast line,
I have many triggers and it feels like each one is a land mine.
Just like the animals in a zoo pacing the grounds craving freedom from their cages,
I too find myself trapped in constant emotional stages.

Rejected offer
Why are you so mad and filled with hate?
I’m willing to start over.
I’m offering a clean slate.
You claim that my offer isn’t good enough.
You call my existence a joke.
Holding back the tears you cause used to be tough.
It doesn’t really hurt anymore.
I’m honestly numb.
It gave me insight and knowledge as if I were a bookstore.

If only
Day after day I’m wrestling with my inner demons.
Sometimes they attack without reasons.
If only I could pin them down.
Night after night I become more and more restless.
Constantly running from these demons leaves me breathless.
If only I could out run them.
Time after time I find my thoughts spiraling out of control.
Internally I’ve died and with this grief I can’t be consoled.
If only I could take back the authority I once held.
Sometimes they attack without reasons.
If only I could pin them down.
Night after night I become more and more restless.
Constantly running from these demons leaves me breathless.
If only I could out run them.
Time after time I find my thoughts spiraling out of control.
Internally I’ve died and with this grief I can’t be consoled.
If only I could take back the authority I once held.

No buried treasure
Lately I’ve been feeling like a pirate ship and depression is the anchor weighing me down.
Like the titanic suicidal thoughts are the ice burg that’s causing me to drown.
At least when a pirate ship docks at the shore they have treasure to find,
While my treasure has no X and seems to only exist in my mind.

Longing to be your cure
I know you’ve been stabbed in the back,
But I long to be the sutures in each laceration.
I know your in a mental down spiral,
But I long to be the peace of mind in your internal damnation.
But I long to be the sutures in each laceration.

Betrayed by a friend
Once upon a time there was a little girl,
She was as innocent and sweet as a buttercream swirl.
One day she was admiring a flower poking through a crack in the side walk,
She was a captivated by it as jack was with the bean stalk.
As pure and innocent as she was it soon came to an end,
When her soul was crushed by someone she once called friend.

Depression like gasoline
Depression is gasoline spilling in my mind,
Lately hope has been hard to find.
Even my shadow leaves me when it gets dark.
I’ll burst into flames with the smallest spark.

Constant head ache
Thoughts bursting like drums in my ears.
Still playing the same rhythm after all these years.
In the silence they get louder and louder.
Crumbling the hope in my soul until it’s powder.

Words staining the paper
The words spilling on the page staining like red wine.
Some how like the paper I too absorb the words and they keep me strong
when my mental state begins to decline.

Childhood stories compared to my self-distruction
I fell for your fake love like Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall.
I dealt with your constant abuse and gave you the power to make me feel small.
Why did I do that to myself?
I ate up your lies like Alice in wonderland,
But you had no warning label and I ate more than my stomach could withstand.
Why did I do that to myself?
I was consumed with a desire to touch you like sleeping beauty lead by a curse.
I feared that the next time I left the house would be in a hearse.
Why did I do that to myself?
You...

Electric anxiety
Anxiety sending a pulse through me like an electrical current,
causing my leg to shake.
Staring out the window wondering how long this will take.

Fading flutter of peace
A brief moment of peace flutters across my skin like the wings of a butterfly dancing in the wind.
As soon as the peace appears it flys away and quickly comes to an end.
As soon as the peace appears it flys away and quickly comes to an end.
