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.

Jackal and Hyde
Who are you?
You say “I need you.”
Is this fake or is this true?
Now you say “I don’t want to be with you.”
Who are you?
Are you going to be cruel or kind?
Feels like im talking to jackal and Hyde,
Never knowing who is really on the inside.
I never know if I should stay or hide.

I was deceived
They have a group chat and out of everyone I’m singled out.
Why am I always under attack?
Like I have a target on my back.
Maybe It’s something I have or is it something that I lack?
I work hard to make others smile,
But true happiness is something I haven’t personally felt in awhile.
The worst part is I don’t mind.
Spreading kindness is the best part of my life.
I just get tired of only gaining knives in my back.
I keep questioning my worth, as if its something that I lack.
I look in the mirror and again I am under...

Talking to a hypocrite
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m loosing my sense of direction.
Ive been craving some kind of connection.
Turning my face to the heavens for protection.
I’m afraid that you’ll never accept me.
In your eyes I’ll always remain unworthy.
When I don’t hear from you I get worried.
But when I don’t answer you go on carefree.
It’s hard for me to let go,
of someone I just want to hold me close.
But I realize It’s truly me that loves you most.
My therapist told me to write you a letter,
She said It would make me feel...

There's nothing I can do
He likes to lie and manipulate.
I’ll just sit back and watch him open his own flood gates.
He likes to deny and place all the blame on somebody else.
I’ll just sit back and watch him drowned himself.
He refuses to believe that he is at fault.
I’ll just sit back and watch him steal from his own vault.
He makes up his wounds and pretends to need stitches.
I’ll just sit back and watch him burn his own bridges.

Holding on to faith
How do people like him find vulnerable people like me?
This is why its hard to wear my heart on my sleeve,
But I refuse to remove it.
I believe someday I'll find someone who won't abuse it.

I chose my sanity over you
It felt like I was under water,
And you kept telling me to hold on and breathe.
But you stole the oxygen that I needed.
I didn't want to tell you the truth,
But there was no other way.
I wanted real love, but yours was fake.
You don’t treat me like I do.
You had a lot to prove.
And I had everything to loose.
And you kept telling me to hold on and breathe.
But you stole the oxygen that I needed.
I didn't want to tell you the truth,
But there was no other way.
I wanted real love, but yours was fake.
You don’t treat me like I do.
You had a lot to prove.
And I had everything to loose.

#Trauma Response
I’m sorry for things people say I shouldn’t apologize for.
But the same people look at me and say they expected more.
The same people are part of the reasons why I’ve had to pick myself up off the floor in the first place.
I’m sorry you feel that I’m such a disgrace.
I’m sorry I’m a disappointment.
I’m sorry you feel I’m not worth it, all the stress and bullshit that I cause.
I’m sorry I constantly feel like I’m not enough.
I’m sorry I can’t handle the tough love.
I’m sorry you feel the drama that comes with me and my trauma makes you...

Failed attempt to break me
People have taken shots at me over and over again, hoping I'll implode.
And no one even noticed the old me withering away inside like a dying rose.
Though the innocence has crumpled away like the petals on a hot sunny day.
If only the pain was short term.
I still found comfort in the damage that I have risen from.

I must have a purpose
I've been giving it my all not to need anyone,
but on the days I just wanted to run,
away.
Random flashes of overwhelming emptiness.
Overbearing loneliness and I couldn't care less,
If I wake up tomorrow.
Drowning in my sorrows like a river of tears.
It's been filling up all of these years.
I'm only twenty four,
but in these short years I've dealt with so much more,
earlier than I should have.
I thank God to be here because If I was meant to succeed,
I would have.
I found my inner light...
but on the days I just wanted to run,
away.
Random flashes of overwhelming emptiness.
Overbearing loneliness and I couldn't care less,
If I wake up tomorrow.

No longer hidden
Like a chameleon the demons disappear into the darkest corner of my mind.
They remain hidden until my mental state starts to decline.
Like a wolf howling at the moon.
I felt an impending doom.
Self isolation had me locked in my room.
I used to block out the rest of the world because the fear of being betrayed was overwhelming.
I spent most of my time dwelling.
When I should have been expelling the demons in my head.
Replaying all the things every therapist has said.
Change your perspective and your life will change. ...

Negativity is a recyclable
My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer,
I’m begging the heavens please God don’t take her.
I feel like a failure.
I need another chance to make her proud.
Please help me get up off the ground .
Maybe what I’m missing is the person she was.
I came across an old picture of us,
and it stopped me in my tracks.
I’d go back in time and be a better daughter.
Of course it would be easy to blame my biological father.
He didn’t give up because you can’t quit if you don’t even try.
Great now I’m gonna cry.

No more looking back
This road of life can be painful.
I took off my rearview mirror,
so the past is out of sight.
I'm one more hit away from the devil,
so I guess I'm somewhere in the middle between right and wrong.
