POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing and drawing is my therapy. I have always journaled by writing poetry and can only seem to do it that way, not forced. I don't want to force it anyway because I would hate to take away the enjoyment I get from creating it.

The Problems Myself
I'm far from perfect, I'm not what I seem.
I’ll Become your worst nightmare instead of your dream
At first I seem wonderful, lovely and sweet .
But I'm not what you thought at our first meet.
Selfish, self-centered-wrapped up in myself.
With others needs ignored, put up on a shelf.
Consumed by my sickness, no room for much more.
Till you're just sick of it all and walk out the door.
You expect me to be able to still be okay
with chaos and pain consuming my day.
it's not that I don't want to and I can accept help,
but no one can...

Blaze of Glory
Sitting in the dark,
I am all alone.
My self-imposed prison,
That’s become my only home.
Bound in iron chains,
They’re locked around me tight.
Tightening with my struggle,
Choking down my spite.
My own internal battle,
A war rages inside.
Determination vanished,
Swallowed whole by my foolish pride.
I’m lying to myself,
I’m starting to believe-
The story told to others,
Vain attempts to deceive.
Telling myself tomorrow,
Will finally be the day.
That I finally stop the madness,
Stop living life this way.
...
I am all alone.
My self-imposed prison,
That’s become my only home.
Bound in iron chains,
They’re locked around me tight.
Tightening with my struggle,
Choking down my spite.
My own internal battle,
A war rages inside.
Determination vanished,
Swallowed whole by my foolish pride.
I’m lying to myself,
I’m starting to believe-
The story told to others,
Vain attempts to deceive.
Telling myself tomorrow,
Will finally be the day.
That I finally stop the madness,
Stop living life this way.

Fairy Tale
I want to believe in fairy tales, that there still may be a happy end.
In true love, happily ever after, forever lovers and best friends.
I want to find my superhero, that I may yet still be swept away.
Save me, pull me away from this hell, so I no longer have to be afraid.
I want to believe in miracles, open my eyes to the ones each day.
Not to the walls of this cold hard prison where I keep my feeling safely locked away.
I want to believe in the good in people, that more are good then out to hurt.
Instead of vicious liars and thieves, selfish cowards and...

Timebomb
A ticking time bomb, ticking so fast.
This moment's peace could be my last.
Zero to sixty in no time at all,
Burning down bridges to tear down a wall.
You twist it around inside your head.
Always hearing words that were not said.
I try and argue, but the cause has been lost,
Just so you can be right no matter the cost.
You start to get close then you shove me away.
Destroying tomorrow all progress today.
Building me up just to tear me back down,
As you hold my head underwater watching me drown.
Am I really so wrong feeling this way?...

Devil in Heels
You talk about this devil in red,
All the chaos she caused and the lies that she spread.
You tell me how you don’t even know why,
You stayed and you stayed despite every lie.
She beat you with words, she choked you with spite,
She wrecked so much havoc night after night.
She had no compassion, she had no respect.
She turned you life into a bloody train wreck.
Then when it's all over and you walk away,
She calls you and stalks you day after day.
You don't answer the phone in fear it's her call.
And all your requests hit against a brick wall....
All the chaos she caused and the lies that she spread.
You tell me how you don’t even know why,
You stayed and you stayed despite every lie.
She beat you with words, she choked you with spite,
She wrecked so much havoc night after night.
She had no compassion, she had no respect.
She turned you life into a bloody train wreck.
Then when it's all over and you walk away,
She calls you and stalks you day after day.
You don't answer the phone in fear it's her call.
And all your requests hit against a brick wall....

Internal Battle
Sitting in the dark,
I am all alone.
My self imposed prison,
I now call my home.
Bound in iron chains,
Locked around me tight.
They tighten up around me,
The more and more I fight .
My own internal battle,
The war rages inside.
Determination vanished,
As I resign myself to die.[font=Georgia][/font]

Leave It
You don’t see I’m mad,
So you can’t see why.
I relied on you to be different,
Then other guys.
I may be over reacting,
Judging this too soon.
But the way I see it,
There’s not that much room.
It hurts me so much,
That you can’t even see.
And what may be petty to you,
Means something to me.
You may not even know,
Why I write this today.
But one thing I know,
We may leave it this way.
So you can’t see why.
I relied on you to be different,
Then other guys.
I may be over reacting,
Judging this too soon.
But the way I see it,
There’s not that much room.
It hurts me so much,
That you can’t even see.
And what may be petty to you,
Means something to me.
You may not even know,
Why I write this today.
But one thing I know,
We may leave it this way.

Living a Lie
I sit here and wonder
And I try to see just why.
The people that I trusted
Are making up these lies.
I thought just ignore it
It will simply go away .
But the more that I am silent
The more that they say.
I thought I’m just paranoid
I must see things wrong,
And even if their talking
It shouldn’t be for long.
If I just don’t feed into it
Why'would they even keep on?
Screaming and yelling
About what I did wrong .
You expect me to call you
And “lie and defend”
The False...
And I try to see just why.
The people that I trusted
Are making up these lies.
I thought just ignore it
It will simply go away .
But the more that I am silent
The more that they say.
I thought I’m just paranoid
I must see things wrong,
And even if their talking
It shouldn’t be for long.
If I just don’t feed into it
Why'would they even keep on?
Screaming and yelling
About what I did wrong .
You expect me to call you
And “lie and defend”

Great Divide
You post things up so easy
Right up on your wall.
Knock me down with your words,
Helping further my fall.
Giving me the guilt trip,
And saying that you’re sad.
Call me up with your whining,
This time you skip being mad.
But it’s always Jekyll and Hyde,
Just like each time before.
And now I finally know better
Then to trust this anymore.
It’s always back and forth,
Time and time again.
One day I’m the enemy,
The next I’m your best friend.
I hate the games you play.
They affect more then just me.
Our daughter sees...
Right up on your wall.
Knock me down with your words,
Helping further my fall.
Giving me the guilt trip,
And saying that you’re sad.
Call me up with your whining,
This time you skip being mad.
But it’s always Jekyll and Hyde,
Just like each time before.
And now I finally know better
Then to trust this anymore.
It’s always back and forth,
Time and time again.
One day I’m the enemy,
The next I’m your best friend.
I hate the games you play.
They affect more then just me.
