POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Studying at the North East School of the Arts. Clinically self proclaimed and diagnosed sociopath and sadist.
Dear Every High School Teacher
If you think that I only started being ‘moody’
When my hormones kicked in,
Then you didn’t know me
When I was a kid.
What six year old little girl
Walks around her house
With a poster that says
“Help me”?
What eight year old little girl
Puts a sign on her door
That says
“I feel hated”?
What fifteen year old girl
Can’t stop herself
From always being so
Angry?
How could a child
Who was “always happy”
Grow up so sad?
Perhaps it’s because
My best friend
Was ripped away from me
At...

Questions
I...I have a question for you.
What kind of couple are we?
Are we even a couple?
What's the point of a romantic relationship
When there's no romance?
When theres no holding hands
Or kisses on the cheek
What is a relationship?
I...I have a question for me.
What kind of desparity
Are you plagued with
To settle with somebody
That clearly doesn't even like you?!

Crazy
What do you do
What you realize
That you're crazy?
Who do you tell
That you're a self diagnosed
Schizophrenic psychopath
At fifteen years old?
How do you explain such knowledge
To a psychiatrist
And expect them to take you seriously?
Well, you don't.
You keep it inside
Until you can't stop it.
Until it's either you
Or your family
That ends up dead.

Over
Broken up through a text.
Hurting inside
But never showing it.
The one scar on my right arm,
And another on my left.
Concealed from the world
With a watch.
The only thing keeping
Me from feeling ashamed.
And broken.
A used piece of pain.
Thrown away for the last time.
Sorrow.
So sorry for the pain.
You did not hurt me
But I feel that I hurt you.
Please.
Just don't let me hurt you anymore.
Please make the suffering be over.
It's not my suffering.
It's your's.

Scars
After the scars heal,
And the pain seems to ease,
I will have to go.
Seeking the pain
And hoping for forgiveness;
For I am not real.
Simply an illusion
Of the heart and mind
Grieving together.
The world will stop
And my heart will suffer.
They day the scars finally heal.
The scars on my heart
And arms.
Almost invisible but still there.
I stopped looking so long ago.
Meeting him I thought
There was nothing left for me to look for.
But I was wrong.
I'm still looking for
His smile.
His laugh.
His hugs...
And the pain seems to ease,
I will have to go.

I'm still looking for
His smile.
His laugh.

This one's a bit strange, but it's how I'm feeling so deal with it.
What would happen if I never fell in love with you?
How would our lives turn out if we never met?
Would we know what was missing?
Would loving anybody else feel wrong?
I'm not sure if we would know what we're missing,
But I do know that I will never forget.
At first you seemed to be the one I would remember for the following reasons:
You tricked me and teased me and made me believe.
Falling to the ground,
Crying 'till there were no more tears.
But now it all makes sense.
It was your mistake to not see at first,
Like I did.

Hopeful Eyes
Holding his hand,
My face gets red
And I start to giggle.
So many things I want to do,
So many peacefully innocent and
Nice things.
Just for him.
Warm hugs,
Sweet kisses.
But all just things from dreams.
You see,
They haven't happened yet.
So many nights I would fall asleep;
Thinking, hoping, wishing
That something would go according to plan.
"I'm sorry," he says.
He claims he could see wonder in my eyes,
But really it was hope.
Pure, loving hopefulness
For him to turn his head
A little bit...

Finally
All this time,
Wishing and waiting,
For my love
To realize love for me.
Hoping and wishing,
Praying for the first time.
Conflicting emotions run
Through my veins.
Until finally,
He sees.
Until he sees the
Sorrow leaving my heart every time I see him.
All this time,
Wishing and waiting,
For him to smile
And really mean it.
Loving words pass between us,
The day he really smiles.
The day he really smiles will be great indeed,
But maybe I've already seen it.
Maybe his smiles are real because of the people...

Happy Depression
Happy and strong,
Laughing with friends.
Smiling and yelling at others-
Feeling the same way I do.
Sad and alone,
No-one to tell.
Heart broken and dying,
Nobody understands.
Minutes pass with each phase-
My happiness just slips away.
But then,
I'm fine.
Completely okay with my life,
Smiling and laughing.
So happy,
But only for a moment.
People ask what's wrong-
Why there's sorrow in my eyes.
But even I don't know
Why I go from happy
To sad in the blink of an eye.
My happy depression,...
