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.
Words like bullets
You’re mouth is like a gun and you shot me.
The words like bullets have shattered my heart and pierced my brain.
The pain which represents the blood spilling from my wounds have stained my soul.”

Cutting all the ties
How do you look at yourself in the mirror and walk away with pride?
How do you fall asleep knowing that you lied?
How can you point fingers and place the blame on me?
I wish I’d seen through your lies before you got down on one knee.
How do you look at me and manipulate me with your lies?
You can have your ring back because I’m cutting all the ties.

Your pain is so much more then you know
They say the mirror is the one tearing you down,
But it goes so much deeper than a smile turned into a frown.
It's a horrifying voice screaming inside your head,
A voice with word choices that make you wish you were dead.
It's a life filled with long sleeves and a pretty little mask,
Hiding it all within becomes a courageous task.
Everyday you paint on a smile in order to keep your sadness hidden from the ones you love,
Every night you look to guidance from the man up above.
You spend every second trying so desperately to escape,
Knowing that if...

Wish I was the Tin man
The tin man doesn’t realize just how lucky he is to not have a heart, he doesn’t have to worry about the everyday battle I face between my heart and brain. Sometimes it seems like I feel too much. Some say that’s a good thing, but I just feel weighed down by all these thoughts and feelings. Sometimes it’s hard to differentiate between what’s real and what I made up in my head.

As Shattered as the broken mirror
I hate myself, so I broke the mirror in my room.
I feel just as shattered as the pieces on the floor.
I’m afraid.
I think you might be the home I’ve been searching for.
I fear that my walls are crumbling down.
I feel like I can trust you with my heart.
I don’t want to give it to you because everyone else who I put my trust in has stabbed me in the back and took a piece of me with them when they left.

It’s never enough
Sometimes I want to be like the weather. Get so mad that my voice breaks the silence like the thunder and lightning break through the sky.
Sometimes I feel like the ocean, under appreciated when I’m calm and peaceful, but finally noticed when the wind upsets me and turns me into a raging wave.
Sometimes I feel like the sun. They complain because I’m too dull, so I shine bright only for them to say I’m shining too much.

You can never fully escape the darkness in your mind
I remember a time, it was a dark time. I thought light no longer existed, at least I would never find it again. I Felt so much pain, sadness, fear, and doubt. I tried not to listen to the awful thoughts running through my head. I wanted to give up, not only on searching for acceptance, but to give up on life. I wished god would just bring me home. I rember watching the blood run down the drain. I rember the empty bottle laying on the floor. I remember closing my eyes, as images of my life past through my mind. I felt my life pass me by.
I had hope to wake up some where else. Some where...

Spread kindness
Be the strength through someone’s weakness.
Be the faith through someone’s hopelessness.
Be the smile in someone’s sadness.
Be the light through someone’s darkness.
Be the the relief through someone’s pain.
Be the rainbow through someone’s storm.
Be the sanity through someone’s madness.”
Be the faith through someone’s hopelessness.
Be the smile in someone’s sadness.
Be the light through someone’s darkness.
Be the the relief through someone’s pain.
Be the rainbow through someone’s storm.
Be the sanity through someone’s madness.”

Burdens
These burdens have been hard for me to bear,
You’re sitting in the same room but you might as well not be there, at all.
Depressing thoughts are consuming my brain,
Feeling alone because my pain is hard to explain.
I broke down my walls for you,
Only to discover that your promises weren’t true.

Lies
You told me you loved me. LIES!
You said you excepted me for who I am. LIES!
You said that you cared for me. LIES!
You said you’d be there for me. LIES!
You promised you’d never hurt me. LIES!
You said you understood me. LIES!
Nothing but LIES!

Debilitating sadness
My heart is weighed down by debilitating sadness.
My brain is filled with an intoxicating madness.
Depression haunts me and I’ve always had this.
My soul is drowning in the depths of darkness.
The blade is my enemy yet my friend with its shimmering sharpness.
My brain is filled with an intoxicating madness.
Depression haunts me and I’ve always had this.
My soul is drowning in the depths of darkness.
The blade is my enemy yet my friend with its shimmering sharpness.

Broken like glass
So much time has past and many things have changed,
Yet some how inside my mind remains deranged.
The scars may be faded, but the demons remain.
With all that I've been through I'll never be the same.
I've done my best to move on and forget about the darkness that once swallowed me whole.
I was living life with a smile, reading a script, simply playing a role.
Somehow despite my efforts to escape, the darkness has come back to consume me once again.
I hate that I'm so fragile, easily broken like a doll made of porcelain.
I know I'm strong but...
