POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
as a poet i like to write from experiences, or how I'm feeling, etc. I like to keep my writing down to earth at times and other times take is far away from reality inside my world.
Demons
You may love me all you want,
but my heart isn't to be played with.
You can give me your heart,
but mine is something I can't give up.
My world is something you want to be a part of,
but you don't understand it's off limits.
You don't understand why I have all these boundaries.
It's not easy to explain it all.
I hide from you,
but you don't know why.
The only thing I can say
is I don't want to introduce you to my demons.
but my heart isn't to be played with.
You can give me your heart,
but mine is something I can't give up.
My world is something you want to be a part of,
but you don't understand it's off limits.
You don't understand why I have all these boundaries.
It's not easy to explain it all.
I hide from you,
but you don't know why.
The only thing I can say
is I don't want to introduce you to my demons.

I Am The Light
I am the light house that guides ships home
on a dark and stormy night.
I am the light that people look for at the end
of a long dark tunnel.
I am the moon
that lights up your way home.
I am the Norther Star
that watches over you.
I am the lamp post
that shines you out of harms way.
I am the shooting star
that you wish upon to make your life better.
I am the angel
that watches over you in your darkest hour.
I am the light you see
when you fade into the night.
I am the light
that pulls you out of darkness. ...

No More Food
Food may keep me alive.
Food may make me die.
Feed me no more food.
You may not feel self-conscious,
but I am.
I may have 13 pounds,
but it's still not enough.
I still feel fat.
feed me no more food.
I'm falling off track.
I've been eating everything in sight.
I need to stop eating.
I've still got more weight to lose.
feed me no more food.
If I had my way,
I wouldn't eat at all.
I'd starve myself till satisfaction.
The weight would fall off,
and I'd have nothing to worry about.
Do me a...

Show You Hell
I'm always smiling.
You're always frowning.
I want to show you hell.
My eyes show a dreamer.
Your eyes show an unbeliever.
I want to show you hell.
I've got love for you,
but it isn't true.
You've got love for me,
and it's real.
Your love is overrated.
I want to show you hell.
I am your heaven.
you are my hell.
i want to show you hell.
I am your angel.
you are my demon.
I want to show you hell.
I am the mistake you won't forget.
I've shown you hell. ...

Juliet's Call
I was lost in my darkest dreams.
They came to life,
and took me away.
I fought to get out.
It was a battle of life and death.
I am here now.
Here waiting,
for my Juliet
to call upon me.
They came to life,

Done For You
I grew up
hearing the same phrase
over and over:
"Pick your friends wisely."
"You are what your friends are."
I always tried my best
to pick good friends.
The friends I'd make though
were never good enough.
They couldn't help me.
They'd never understand.
My sickness consumed me,
It controlled me in a way.
It helped me
more than "real friends" ever could.
I had the smallest friend in the world.
I took take him everywhere I went.
I could hide him,
and no one would ever know...

Why I am Still Alive
In my darkest moments,
In my darkest hours,
In my darkest days,
And in my darkest nights
I felt all alone like nobody cared.
The monsters I feared
that were in my closet,
the dark hallways,
and down the dark stairs
disappeared from the dark.
They moved themselves,
Transformed themselves,
And settled somewhere much deeper.
I still feared them.
Still thought they were there.
It's too good to be true
for them to be gone.
I was right.
The monsters now lived inside me.
I was in pain.

You Are
If there is one person in the world
who is what I use to be
it would be you.
From the first time we talked
I knew I was talking to myself.
It's weird cause I was your age
when darkness started to consume me.
I thought I could save you like the rest,
but I was wrong.
Even though I could not see your eyes,
I saw right through your words on the screen.
It's scary to know you are the black rose I was.
You are the shattered girl I was.
You are my reflection.
You are the one people said couldn't be saved.

My Mistakes
Mistakes,
Mistakes,
Mistakes.
We are only human after all.
I've made lots of mistakes in my life,
but this one I have a hard time coming to grips with.
I want to get out of it,
but I don't want to hurt you.
Mistakes.
How can you not make them?
But how do you not let it eat you up from the inside out?
I don't know why I do this,
but I seem to make the same mistake over and over again.
I get into relationships.
One's I can't finish.
One's where it'll always be unfair.
My mistake was letting the boundary be...

I don't belong
Forward or backward
I'm not sure which way I'm going.
I'm a hero now,
but all I feel like is a loner.
I don't belong here.
This place use to be my home,
but now it's just a dead building.
I walk through hallways
that use to scream my name,
but they're silent.
I walk through classrooms
where I had pulled myself to the top,
but it was obvious I no longer reigned.
I didn't want to know,
but too late I already knew.
The message was loud and clear.
I don't belong here.
My friends and I use to be so close.
Now it's...

Insomnia
Another day
Another night
I can't sleep.
I lay in bed
look up at the ceiling.
Thoughts running through my mind.
What do you do till the comes up?
Watch a movie,
Go on you tube,
Surf the internet,
listen to music.
Sleepless nights hurt my eyes,
The only one that talks to me is my stomach.
Watching the sunrise is beautiful
I rather get some shut eye though.
It's been two weeks,
and I can't sleep.
I have so much on my mind.
I want to write it all down,
but I can't.
My body

Nobody's Hero
Some of you have told me I'm your hero,
but honestly I'm nobody's hero.
I've lost a soul.
I just couldn't save her.
I feel responsible in some way and a failure.
If I told you the truth
I know You won't believe me.
I guess I'll tell you anyway.
I am nobody's hero.
I was in darkness too.
The exact same spot as you all.
I could barely get out on my own.
Doesn't this show
I am nobody's hero.
No matter how many times I say it,
you all go against me.
You tell me I'm your hero.
You tell me I'm your savior.
