POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hello everybody I'm a poet and would like to share my work
seeing a family member lose the battle to drugs
living with an addict never just bothers you,
its friends and your close neighbours that also struggle through,
they worry for there belongings and hide whats in there yard,
you may be a loving person but an addict puts them on guard,
they watch far from the distance some judge some understand,
most look down there nose as you offer an helping hand,
an addict will watch you spend say your moneys gone to waste,
to them drugs are there life and the one u loves been replaced,
they sit with you quietly planning has there fixing there next game,
to feed on...

my dog with fireworks
here we go again bangers all night long,
im shaking in the corner don't know what's going on,
my body trembles fast I look my owner in the face,
confused and very scared this is meanto be the safest place,
try getting in each corner some were to squeeze in tight,
im hiding from my owner who im scared of tonight,
hours are passing slow bangers light up the sky,
im a scared lonely dog alone I lay and cry,
the bangs they start to fade now im not so scared,
I made it through the night this dogs life was spared,
laying with my owner now feeling free...

To dad
this is about a man who I love with all my heart,
I could never explain to you id not know were to start,
your always there for me even if you dont understand, you do your very best to be there and hold my hand,
I no I make you worry with all the things I do,
but i wouldn't get through half if I didnt have you,
I no I test your patience and you try harder just for me,
but that means so much even though I dont let you see,
this last year weve grown even closer but that wasnt for the good,
I was broken and very lonely but by my side you always stood,

panic attacks
my throat is tight im deprived of air,
every breath I take i just can't bare,
my heart is thumping feeling every beat,
try to keep in control on uneasy feet,
you stretch out your arms finding some thing to hold,
overtaken by panic my bodies controlled,
my eyes are shaking I feel really scared,
my skins hot and clamy my visions impaired,
take a minute to breathe and the panic will fade,
back to normality were im not afraid,
stress and worry caused this panic attack,
but I always come through and get back on track...

mother
here is a story that I wrote myself,
about some one struggling with mental health,
her lifes about drugs and her next fix,
just taking and taking has her life falls to bits,
so much to live for but through drugs u are blind,
open ur eyes theres a path u can find,
to us your a stranger who we barely know,
but be there through it all down the spiral we go,
we look up from the bottom try to drag u on up,
so helpless and lost you just dont give a fuck,
carelessly taking your life from us,
just for your next fix has u chase your last buzz,
but...

feeling of nothing
this life of mine I just wish away,
and the feeling of nothing I feel every day,
im so lonely and sad Im numb inside,
so ashamed of my self I stay in and hide,
some times I forget when im out having fun,
then im filled up with guilt for what iv just done,
theres a stranger inside me its causing this pain,
what do you want please tell me your name,
just let me go I beg to be free,
your killing me slowly by making a monster of me,
I hate to go out cant stand to be seen,
I like when my bedrooms the only place iv been,
im dependent on beer just...

awful friend
what did I do I dont deserve this pain,
all to keep a friend a take it yet again,
I respect you and I care given nothing in return,
just tossed so far aside and you just watch me burn,
im blinded by our friendship your really not that nice,
your actions don't hurt u its me who pays the price,
I cry at little things frustrated by your ways,
just waiting for a text like I have been for 4 days,
you say that im selfish and you have problems too,
but look what iv turned into its all because of you,
I feel worthless and helpless because you was so cruel,...

body image.. AGAIN!
I look into the mirror and all I see is bone,
ashamed of my reflection I hide away alone,
disgusted and pained it leaves me feeling sick,
this anorexic little figure is thin just like a stick,
people say im chunky and no were near thin,
if friends cant give the truth how will I ever win,
I hate to go outside unless im in tight clothes,
pretending im okay hiding a problem no one knows,
I feel like im a joke and the only one this way,
who else wants to be fat and overeats for it each day,
a life that's ruled by food this disorder consumes me, ...

negative body image
were's that happy girl the one I used to be,
the one that felt so strong before a stranger took over me,
it changed me for the worst and filled me up with hate,
so the sight of my own body always left me in a state,
most days I wake up sad just because im here,
its not a life worth living always full of fear,
each calorie is added up I no just what I need,
2,000 or above another day im full of greed,
please just hold me tight in your arms so I feel close,
tell me I look fine in this body that looks so grose,
calm my aching heart that lays beneath my...

alone at night
my face is wet my eyes are red,
wondering if I should be dead,
im sure that il be missed but id be free of pain,
I cant take no more its sending me insane,
can never finish the job and end the life I live,
my family cud never find in there heart to forgive,
I always feel so hurt no matter what I do,
why do I have to struggle just to get through.
I can cut until im numb pass out from loss of blood,
I could maybe talk to family if they only understood,
im a lonely girl needing help and time,
and maybe then I would be fine,
my life now is...

life
sadness makes the bright days dull,
brings shadow to all whats colorful,
ur shortest walk may feel a mile,
a happy memory cant make you smile,
you start the day feeling down or wrong,
and every day always seems to long,
ur moods uncertain ur actions too,
sometimes loneliness is what gets you through,
you hide all your problems and smile while in pain,
you think ull be judged and be full of shame,
depression is common for many to live,
so be there for each other weve all strength to give....

what is depression
when you wake feeling empty like everything's gone,
and your lifes way to broken just to carry on,
each smile is a lie your jokes are ur cover,
behind it all a girl wants to recover,
forever hiding the marks engraved in your skin,
that show all your fight that u hide deep within,
your to tired to live but more scared to die,
the pain is to much you always want to cry,
you have all you need and couldnt want more,
but depression is poison and leaves you unsure,
unpredictable moods that change all a sudden,
now the world's on your shoulders from the...
