POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a little black rain cloud, Save me, Cleanse me.
Success :Trash or Treasure
To be understood,
Is that being successful?
Or being pretty?
Strong?
Wise?
Or just plain stupid?
That is what I see.
Long lost faces,
Who have worked timelessly.
To get through that dense dark forest.
To find the yield of their hard work.
Just to find that,
There is no end.

Do You Feel That? (Rubber bands)
That sinking feeling,
The cold thuding in your chest,
Do you feel that?
The dull pain,
And a sharp sting.
That's what you feel.
On an off day.
Yes I took my pills.
Yes I am ok.
Don't mind my wrists,
Welts the size of my pain.
The cold thuding in your chest,
Do you feel that?
The dull pain,
And a sharp sting.
That's what you feel.
On an off day.
Yes I took my pills.
Yes I am ok.
Don't mind my wrists,
Welts the size of my pain.

Binding
Our wounds still fresh,
As the sun goes down.
We run for cover,
Fight for shelter.
We see the monsters,
Spring from our leaking soul.
As we run a uphill battle,
Our time grows short.
Rummaging though all the fear,
We find ourselfs behind walls,
Of questions,
Thoughts,
And fear of where we stand.
Step one,
Bind your wounds.
Let scabs become scars,
As the sun peaks over the horizon.
Step two,
Sing.
Sing your anthem,
Whatever it is that day.
Step three,
Start new.
The hardest step....
As the sun goes down.
We run for cover,
Fight for shelter.
We see the monsters,
Spring from our leaking soul.
As we run a uphill battle,
Our time grows short.
Rummaging though all the fear,
We find ourselfs behind walls,
Of questions,
Thoughts,
And fear of where we stand.
Step one,
Bind your wounds.
Let scabs become scars,
As the sun peaks over the horizon.
Step two,
Sing.
Sing your anthem,
Whatever it is that day.
Step three,
Start new.

Cluttered Writing
Muse and curvy words,
Dancing across my page,
Binds me to my daily due,
As dawn never pays.
Breathing nightfall dew,
Hearing beating hearts anew.
Stars, Oh stars,
Oh how i see you,
My muse.
Thoughts fly,
In a late night crunch.
Till evening ends,
And the meek moon sighs.
Still I sit,
Ink in hand,
My invisible words,
Lead my hand.
Night leads on,
Following as a pawn.
My lonely heart implores,
Curse my fate,
For my misfortune,
For by my hands it came.
And by these hands it stays.

Shapes
We are shaped,
By society,
By family,
By friends,
By their own mind.
We blunder through life,
Blind to the colors,
Of our own shapes.
The colors of emotion.
Look, Look,
Oh please,
We see the color of others shapes,
But about our own?
Blues of tears.
Red of anger.
Pinks and purples for passion.
Yellow for joy.
Green of luck.
We shape the people who shape us.
So show your colors.
Show what you make.

Just another Day
Just another day,
The sun rises,
Faking a smile,
I face the demons.
Jealousy,
Lust,
Popularity,
Cant forget Competition.
I dance among the wretched.
And face them with sharp words,
For I am a demon of theirs,
Unconformity.
No one hears their silent screams,
When I face them,
I am the outcast.
Who doesn't change.
I am the victim.
Who doesn't get help.
I am the wall flower.
Who doesn't talk.
I am their thought of darkness.
Who always haunts them.
No wonder they are...

That Angel
Rising,
I glare at the traitor.
The one me trusted,
the one who protected me.
In the dark of night,
The pale skin,
Glistens in the waning moon.
The black wings,
Blocks out the night sky.
The thin body,
Robed in dread.
A knife at his waist,
Shining dangerously.
Rushing at him in anger,
I try to punch him.
Only for him,
To step aside.
Tears staining my face.
I drop to my knees.
He walks pulling the knife,
From the rusted scabbard.
Breathing heavy, ...

A Girl
A girl,
I wish upon that star,
Her eyes reflect,
The trials of life.
I know she is someone i can count on,
Can she count on me?
I walk towards her,
Turning,
This girl runs to me,
Like child to angel.
She laughs and jokes.
Never betrays a word.
Wondering...
Do I deserve?
Something so good?
Is this a dream?
The girl.

Been a long time...
I left for awhile,
A long bit I assume.
See here now,
I was deemed insane.
The apocothary sang sweet words of posion,
To my beat-up, scared, dying heart.
A week can turn in to a month.
A month to a year.
I missed this,
But now im back to square one.
A long bit I assume.

Feeling
I feel my toes.
I feel my fingers.
I feel my stomach.
It hungers for my addiction.
Pain,
Control,
A fight.
I feel the sadness,
Dwelling. . .like a blanket.
I feel the longing,
For disaster.
Mine,
Yours,
Everyone.
I feel my fingers.

It hungers for my addiction.

The Trap... My Trap
On the outside,
Im... I cant describe myself.
All I know is that,
You dont want to fall in to my trap,
Because It has killed me.
