POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
LOVE: FOOD FOR THOUGHT; I HOPE I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK! -----very tipsy
Maybe love is when you can get so pissed off at that person but once you look at them, your heart can't help but melt;
The passion they have for what they do speaks enough volume that it demands respect.
It's like you understand everything about this person and out of NOWHERE, you are driven to accept them & not get mad at them for being THEMSELVES.
The crazy part is, you've never met someone who has such an intense effect on you.
You all of the sudden possess compassion for them on an unearthly level.
Even when you have gotten to that point in life where you are...

Solitude
My face soaked with tears
I sit here and try to make sense of it all
As I try to get closer to Him,
my guilt increases
I constantly feel inadequate
I’m not sure of anything except that
I’m the worst person in the entire world
I hurt an old friend
As I remember the tears falling from her eyes
the excruciating pain in my chest makes it hard to breathe
I don’t want to sleep
I don’t want to live
I have no one
My heart is breaking in two
How can I recover from all this self-inflicted pain?
Nobody else seems to...

When The Will To Live Eventually Dies
Trying desperately
to fill this empty heart;
I’ll quickly take a pill
to keep me from falling apart
My body is tired and weak;
It aches with my defeat
I lie alone in my bed;
Praying for my final heartbeat
The answers are now very clear
I’m filled with nothing but fear
I know that my ending is near
My breathing suddenly slows down;
I finally see the light
No more nights of loathing myself;
No more pretending that I’m alright
to fill this empty heart;
I’ll quickly take a pill
to keep me from falling apart
My body is tired and weak;
It aches with my defeat
I lie alone in my bed;
Praying for my final heartbeat
The answers are now very clear
I’m filled with nothing but fear
I know that my ending is near
My breathing suddenly slows down;
I finally see the light
No more nights of loathing myself;
No more pretending that I’m alright

I Am Hate
I am fully aware of my capabilities
It would be much easier to believe in myself
if I wasn’t surrounded by darkness
Lies
All of their deception and denial suffocates me
Who said that telling someone how to live their life is productive?
Who told you that?
Your idea of “truth” is an excuse
to put others down and we can all see through your bullshit
Will you ever wake up?
Is this really who you are?
I’m done hoping you will change
It breaks my heart but I can’t go on pretending things are okay
I hope you know one day...

Consciously Insane
I’m aware that it’s all in my head
If only logic and common sense
Healed this never-ending cycle of loneliness
I wonder if you know what it’s like
To give up the control, the fight
It’s not your fault,
it’s mine, alright?
Why do you think it hurts this much?
If I didn't know I was wrong -
The tears would never fall
I would be proud, I would stand tall
but I’m not proud at all
Does it feel good knowing that I’m hurting?
Are you really not aware?
Or am I just falling for another one of your games,
slowly slipping into...

2 A.M.
2 A.M. and I’m wired
I can’t stop thinking about you
Wondering what you are doing
Wishing you were here
I mainly remember your “bad” qualities;
The parts of you that I love
Manipulation/Insecurity/Jealousy -
All covered up with lies
A false identity
I guess the reason I love the “bad” qualities
is because I’m full of passion
Fury gives my feelings intensity
It feels good to scream and go crazy
I put up with so many things
that I firmly hold onto
and that I refuse to let go
I just can’t let it go
Why is...

The Danger Outside
Numb from the pills
but I know I felt something last night
In fear of showing him the real me
Because the real me is an insecure wreck
Judgments he made about who I am
I stupidly told him he was right
I guess medication has its’ downsides
How long am I going to live this way?
Is this what my life has come to?
Addicted to the high –
The illusion of happiness
The thought of being with him means
I would eventually have to change myself
Will I throw away all of my dignity?
Control is hot in bed...
but forever?

Originally Misunderstood
Their eyes are on me, penetrating my soul
I feel so paranoid and guilty
Why is it I always feel this way?
Vulnerable, despised, weak, and low
when I tell someone how I feel
“Don’t take it personally.”
These four words intensify all the feelings
Why didn’t I just let it go?
This is when I feel worthless
Self-destruction begins
Everything I am, what I’ve built…
can anybody understand me?
Is it because people are too afraid
to put themselves out there?
These thoughts run through my mind constantly
Will I ever learn?...

The Wolf
This morning I woke up to the memory of your face
The sweetest and most gentle face I’ve ever seen
This is the memory
of me falling for you -
The same memory that is tearing me apart every day
So convincing
Deceiving without difficulty
Are you pleased with yourself?
I’m not sure if you know
the damage you have caused
But I know one thing;
You don’t care
You never cared
The beautiful liar;
Your plan –
Perfectly executed
You’re a fraud, a waste of space
My life is a wreck without you
Now I’m...

Your Demise
My heart
bleeds from the cuts
of your deceitfulness
your selfishness, your arrogance
Did you ever think of anything
besides your own needs?
Bottling up emotions -
One day you'll crack
Some people will pray for you to come back
But the truth is,
no one gives a fuck about you
You will never win -
Your life is over
Lack of sleep
Eyes red with sadness
Craziness, madness
Why won't you reason with me?
I'm always wrong -
So I give up
on life, on you
bleeds from the cuts
of your deceitfulness
your selfishness, your arrogance
Did you ever think of anything
besides your own needs?
Bottling up emotions -
One day you'll crack
Some people will pray for you to come back
But the truth is,
no one gives a fuck about you
You will never win -
Your life is over
Lack of sleep
Eyes red with sadness
Craziness, madness
Why won't you reason with me?
I'm always wrong -
So I give up
on life, on you
