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.
"Just a flicker of the hell I never speak of"
He moved his hand on top of my shirt, up my body to my right cheek, and kissed me. I felt his scraggly red facial hair brush against my soft skin, his nose pressed hard against my face and his breath was hot, like a fire; the fire that burnt my innocence away. Sadly it didn’t end there, It’s as if the crisp air froze me in place, I couldn’t run, scream or move at all. He then kissed me again this time he put his tongue in my mouth, like a hot coal burning me to the core. It was as if I was in hell but the air was cold as Ice.I was so scared, I felt like I was walking on hot coals, no matter...

Betrayed
I'm sorry for my recent behavior,
Being betrayed and hurt caused me to turned to the razor.
I'm sorry that I ever saw death as my only escape,
Your words have no more meaning its like you broke my heart and expected me to fix it with scotch tape.

I drowned my teddy bear
He absorbed many of my tears.
He comforted me through nightmares and fears.
He was my friend.
He always seemed to understand.
He listened when I told him a secret.
He always kept it.
He kept everything safe with him,
He helped me through dark times when the light was dim.
He may not have been a living thing but he was always there when everyone else disapeared,
When I confided in him it was as if the fog of negative thoughts almost cleared.
I feared the judgements I would recieve if they knew my only...

Previously ABUSED.
Attacked with words.
Betrayed by someone I loved.
Used as a punching bag.
Scared to speak up.
Endured so much pain.
Didn't fight; if not me someone else would be the victim.

Ocean of twisted thoughts
Depression is invisible,
Yet disquisable,
It makes you misreble,
Its mental not physical.
I'm drowning in this ocean of twisted thoughts and I'm reaching out for a life line,
I didn't choose to swim in this ocean it just pulled me under and there was no warning sign.

The weight of your loss only intensifies with time
I've searched so desperately to find peace with your passing,
When I feel a slight comfort in knowing you're in a better place it's never long lasting.
People say time heals,
But I feel as though god steals; my time.
The time I could've had with you all the advice you had to give; you were so wise,
There is a painful fire that burns me to the core and shows only in my eyes.
It seems as though no matter what I do and how hard I pray,
the pain from your loss only intensifies with each passing day.

"It's too late"
People will say that they love you, but never call.
They're never there to help you when you fall.
Then when you have something they want, they come crawling back.
What they don't realize now it is time that they lack.
The things that they want are no longer in your possession,
It's to late for them to turn to god and start a confession.
You're now 6ft underground marked with flowers and a stone,
now they claim to miss you and feel alone.
Where were they before you died,
where were they when you...

"If my demons were insects"
The demons inside my head are like insects.
Each one has its individual ways of torture and kill.
Constantly trying to fight them off has me worn out as if all my life journeys are up hill.
Like mosquitos they all suck the life out of me,
Mosquitos taking blood while the demons take my energy.
The demons from the inside they torture me amd slowly steal the oxygen from my brain,
At least the spider gives its prey a little injection of poision to numb the pain.
I can feel the pain inside of my soul like a swarm of bees In my ear...

Therapy Session
Verbally expressing my problems has sent me into a spiral falling down the rabbit hole,
For so long I kept it inside like a heavy weight on my soul.
Hearing the words out loud really showed me just how intense my depression has got over the years,
I knew if I spoke of it out loud it would become real and that was one of my biggest fears.
Just another therapy session,
I shouldn’t hold onto things you would think that by now I would've learned my lesson.

"Heart on my sleeve"
Kindness comes so easy to me,
I lend my heart out to those in need.
I know I shouldn't but I wear my heart on my sleeve,
When I get my heart back broken pieces are all that I recieve.
All I've ever wanted is to spread kindness and love,
Everytime all I get is taken advantage of.
I guess in a way you could say that I set myself up for heart ache,
Leaving myself open for anyone to take.

"If words left a physical mark"
You called me worthless and my opinion of myself was bruised,
What if I got phyiscally marked by being verbally abused?
You told me that my life had no value and I should just end it,
It shattered my heart, but what if it left me broken like my body took a physical hit?
I hurt myself in more ways then one by allowing your painful words to go to my head,
What would my life be like if I had left them there rather than drawing them on my skin instead?

Don't just breathe; LIVE!
Anxiety attacks my body from the inside out.
They tell me to breathe.
The tears are falling from my eyes like water falls.
They tell me to breathe.
I'm in public and my heart is racing in fear of judging eyes.
They tell me to breathe.
My body starts shaking with nerves of fearing I'll mess everything up.
They tell me to breathe.
If people want to give advice to others in stressfull situatuions, or almost any situation; It shouldn't be the one thing that comes naturally. I believe that we should start telling each other to...
