POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about whatever speaks to me. Whether that be nature, an emotion, or even just a silly thought from the insane hours of the night.
Annoy
Sometimes I worry
That I annoy people with
My rapid fire talks and my weird
Questions.
I know I annoy people.
That’s why I stay quiet sometimes,
Knowing if I talk,
Someone will get annoyed.
And I like saying certain words
Over and over again.
What?
They feel good when I say them.
I mean, probably now, whoever’s
Reading this is probably getting annoyed.
Sorry.
I’ll be quiet now.
That I annoy people with
My rapid fire talks and my weird
Questions.
I know I annoy people.
That’s why I stay quiet sometimes,
Knowing if I talk,
Someone will get annoyed.
And I like saying certain words
Over and over again.
What?
They feel good when I say them.
I mean, probably now, whoever’s
Reading this is probably getting annoyed.
Sorry.
I’ll be quiet now.

Dumb
Dumb.
I’m so dumb.
Dumb enough to
Even think that I have a fraction
Of beauty, of grace.
I mean look at me.
My mud brown eyes,
My weight and height.
Dumb.
I’m so dumb.
Dumb enough to
Think that I’m fine.
I mean look at me.
My scars, the way
I dress.
Dumb.
I’m so dumb.
Dumb enough to
Pretend.
I mean look at me.
My fake smile,
My stupid jokes.

I Hate Me
That’s it.
No explanation.
I suck.

Compare
God, look at me.
I'm disgusting.
I can't even leap.
I'm not skinny, and
I'm way too heavy.
I'm not pretty,
Just look at my muddy eyes.
Compared to everyone else,
I am horrid.
An ugly monster.
Just compare.
You'll see I'm dead last.

We Danced
We danced, I didn’t think
You knew how.
I barely even noticed,
Because I was staring into
Your eyes.
And then as we were leaning in,
KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS!
We didn’t, and I got nervous.
But that’s fine, I got to dance with
You, your hands on my waist and
Mine on your shoulders.
I love you.
And I’m speechless.

Kiss Me Again
Oh God. I want to kiss you
Again so bad. Like good lord
My lips are still tingling, and
My heart is still singing.
You were so close, it
Felt so nice. Kiss me again,
Better than the first time.
Kiss me again, the next time
We dance. It felt incredible just
Holding your hand.
Kiss me again, look at me
With those brown eyes.
Smile, and hug, and I’ll
Feel fine.
Kiss me again, hold me tight.
Oh my God, I loved last night.
Kiss me again,
Because I love you.
Again so bad. Like good lord
My lips are still tingling, and
My heart is still singing.
You were so close, it
Felt so nice. Kiss me again,
Better than the first time.
Kiss me again, the next time
We dance. It felt incredible just
Holding your hand.
Kiss me again, look at me
With those brown eyes.
Smile, and hug, and I’ll
Feel fine.
Kiss me again, hold me tight.
Oh my God, I loved last night.
Kiss me again,
Because I love you.

Timothy The Turtle Chap
Timothy the Turtle Chap
Is very special and has a hat-
A monocle on his left eye,
Money in his hand,
And a little bow tie.
People watch him on
The street; the poor lad
Can’t dance, he’s got two
Left feet.
But he still smiles every
Day; he doesn’t care what
People say.

Relapse
Oh no, I
Almost broke.
Today was centimeters
Away from breaking me,
And then there go two months
Of recovery.
The scars are still there,
Faded, yet there.
Today I wanted to add
More.
But my arms are just
Scarred, and I'm two months
Clean.
I just hope I can make it to three.

My Lifeline(s)
I would be dead.
I love you both so much,
Different types.
Me without y’all is like
Biscuits without butter,
Or tea without sugar.
And I’m so thankful for
Y’all in my life.
I love you guys.

Not A Dream Anymore
I can't believe that my
Dream is no longer just a dream,
It's reality.
We kissed, it's in my
Mind, as clear as can be.
I'm honestly surprised,
But I'm happy.
You walked me to the door,
Said goodbye, we hugged,
And then I leaned in and kissed you.
Twice.
I liked it,
A lot.
And you said you did too.

Warm
I feel all warm around
You, safe and sound.
As soon are your arms are
Around me, I feel as if I’m found.

It Was Supposed to Be Me
It was supposed to be me,
But you had to pay.
Everyone says otherwise,
But I'm the one to blame.
Each slit of my wrist is there
To carry your pain.
Maybe that will make it right,
But I"m still here thinking:
It should've been me.
But you had to pay.

Each slit of my wrist is there
