POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write purely to express myself. Some of them are serious writings, but most are venting or randomness. I find inspiration in events throughout my life, and through my interpretation of song lyrics, and how they affected me.
The Secret that is Kept
I've got a secret
that needs to be kept
It came to me last
night while I slept.
Within my slumber,
I tossed & I turned
The world was spinning,
my reality burned.
I fell in too deep
The demons had stirred,
I panicked & ran
my dreams were so blurred.
Waking up screaming,
I recalled the night
Thoughts of my secret
I'll hold onto tight.

Waking up screaming,
I recalled the night
Thoughts of my secret
I'll hold onto tight.

myself
I am self sufficient
always in my element
try to stay relevant
consider myself brilliant
biggest flaw is constant
being co-dependent
I'm always the assistant
it's really inconvenient
I'm really not a delinquent
my rhymes are inconsistent
my beat is but a fragment
of words that can be violent
if used an improper moment
they can be very potent
instead I'll just stay silent
and be but an ornament
a humble high school student
divergent and transparent
highly insignificant
knowing my instrument

I still love you
he drags my heart across the floor
but I can't take it anymore
I don't know how to let go, and i guess i never will.
I'm just a disoriented soul
a lost cause, trying to find control
yet my mind still yearning to be tranquil.
do you love me? I expressed
only for the moment, he confessed
and in that instant, my heart he did kill.

you're too late
Try to break me?
Darling, I'm broken already.
Try to leave me?
Darling, I'm alone already.
Try to hurt me?
Darling, I've cried already.
Try to kill me?
Darling, I'm dead already.
Darling, I'm broken already.
Try to leave me?
Darling, I'm alone already.
Try to hurt me?
Darling, I've cried already.
Try to kill me?
Darling, I'm dead already.

I'm a mess
A complex and troubled soul -
Not to be dramatic,
Not to be theatric
But life has taken its toll
Complications of the heart
Temptations of the flesh
I'm not one to share
Even less, one to confess,
Yet I live a life of contradiction -
My Yin and Yang have conspired against me
For I have myself shackled
Yet, all I want to do is be free
I'm a mess
Too many wants
Too many haunts
The question in my head doesn't end,
"Can a broken heart ever mend?"

Looking back, I feel so much pain
A victim, who had to carry the blame
Who I am today, a person of emptiness
All these unanswered questions, piled up in distress
Had to grow up so fast, ahead of my years
Had to wear a smile, but I held back the tears
My voice was unheard, so I found expression in written word
My dreams so vivid, and my reality so blurred
I am broken, shattered into a thousand pieces
I pierce the skin, and the pain releases
Now my scars are inner, and outer too
Living life like a nightmare, no sign of breaking...

Roses are sweet
Violets are dark
I once took a walk and got lost in a park
With gloom about and no one in sight, i stumbled upon a barn that I slept in that night
Whilst in my dream, i met a boy and he showed me the way to find true joy
Upon awakening, he had disappeared, my thoughts consumed me and the worst i feared
To see him again, would be the desire of my life
So down dripped my blood from the end of that knife.

Venting my current feelings.
Do you hear that sound?
It echoes through our bones and in the ground
Connecting with each and everyone's heart
It's tearing us all apart.
The flame dims in my eyes
As I see all the world in its lies
Opening my mind, I can finally see
The only person I could ever trust is me.
Below me is unstable ground
It won't be long before I've drowned
With one last attempt I look around
Reaching for hope when none can be found.
Time to permanently close my eyes
Leave a world in which I had such close ties
Enter the...

School assignment

Calculated, creative, compassionate, kind
Sister to Curtis, Kanum, Jeffery, Erica
Loves my boyfriend, drawing, and the human mind
Feels helpful, honest, and bold
Needs entertainment, attention, and a wonderful home
Takes effort, takes things seriously, and takes her time getting old
Fears the darkness, negative energy, and being alone
Would like to see outer space, deep underground, and the year 3020

Motivation
You draw from my pain is to cut like a knife
It hurts, but I need blood for the sacrifice
From my wrist to the back of my elbow
Out of my arm and into the bowl
Sensing the pain, knowing I'm alive
I cringe as it burns like aroma from a chive
Too big of a cut and out comes the red
It drips and it drops until I am dead
It hurts, but I need blood for the sacrifice
From my wrist to the back of my elbow
Out of my arm and into the bowl
Sensing the pain, knowing I'm alive
I cringe as it burns like aroma from a chive
Too big of a cut and out comes the red
It drips and it drops until I am dead

A glimpse in their eyes
Have you ever met one of those people who just made you sick?
Their happy mood annoying as you wonder why they're so optimistic
Seeing them smile and feeling their morning glow
While you walk around seeming groggy and slow
Walking by, you see a glimpse of pain in their eyes
It hits you as you realize their hands are invisibly tied
They've got secrets to be revealed,
They've got bad wounds that need to be healed,
They're fighting through life with the sword of happiness they yield,
Protecting themselves with a metaphorical shield.
Knowing one day they'll...
