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.
If I never wake again
If I never wake again
just know it's not your fault,
and that I love you.
The demons inside me took me away.
I gave into them.
I just couldn't control them any longer.
If I never wake again
I don't want you to mourn.
I want you to rejoice,
and know that only my body is dead.
My soul lives on within your happiness.
If I never wake again
I want my funeral to be a huge party.
I don't want flowers.
I want balloons.
My friends should sing songs.
My family should play my favorite music.
I want a white casket,
and...
just know it's not your fault,
and that I love you.
The demons inside me took me away.
I gave into them.
I just couldn't control them any longer.
If I never wake again
I don't want you to mourn.

Secrets
I have all these secretes inside me.
They weigh me down like heavy chains.
I have all these secretes inside me.
They give me a guilty conscience
I have all these secrets inside me.
Half of them aren't even mine.
I have all these secrets inside me.
I want to let them go.
I want the rain to wash them away.
I want them to flow out of me
like a river flows along a bank.
I have all these secrets inside me.
I've finally told somebody,
and now I'm free.

Apologize
You're a manipulator.
You're a liar.
You're seriously sick.
You're a manipulator.
You manipulated me to believe you.
Believe that through our sickness we had a bond.
We lived in two different worlds,
but you thought to combine them would be genius.
You must be seriously sick.
You're a lair.
You lied to me about EVERYTHING!
You were born with a monster inside you.
Your house is so high tech no one can break in,
but you live in the projects.
The war in Australia never happened!
You "friends" are FAKE!

Already Dead
Reality.
That's where my body lives on.
It's not safe there though.
Darkness is stealing my light.
pain and misery are slipping through my cracks.
Light and darkness will always battle over me.
There is no escaping the war inside me.
The scars on my body each tell a story:
A story of my struggle,
A story of my survival,
A story of my life,
A story of my death.
"If the war never ends why don't you just kill yourself?"
she asked me quietly.
"I have no no to kill myself
when inside I'm already dead."

Getting through the night without killing yourself
One life
Two wrists
Three seconds
What do you do ?
You don't dare pick up that knife!
You think it's the end of the world.
You think it's the end of your life.
As long as I am here,
Tonight will be not be your last night.
The night has gotten darker
The devil is preparing for your arrival
The demons inside you scream at you.
The knife on the table calls you.
The angles are pleading for you.
Don't end it all.
It's only one night.
It's one day.
Everything is going bad for you.
Tonight you will survive....

Too depressed to love
I don't feel the same.
If I said "I love you" back
I know I'd be lying.
But you know what?
I'm not even ready to love someone.
I've hidden my heart away
Under lock and key.
I threw the key away
In the deepest part of the ocean.
I don't want anyone to ever find it.
I the only one thing that can find my key
Are the fairies.
I'm just not ready to love.
I don't want to love.
I'm not ready to give up
The little freedom I have right now.
Maybe one day
When I've become unchained
From where...

Sitting Here Depressed
Sitting here depressed.
I want to self-harm,
but I've lost my blade.
I've needed it all day,
but I guess it doesn't want to comfort me.
I'm feeling all alone
like no one understand me.
I have so many friends that I could call,
but none will understand why.
They'll sit,
and listen to me,
but have nothing to say.
I feel like a disappointment to my family,
but especially towards myself.
Even if I talk to them
I know they won't understand.
They'll ask me all these questions,
but they won't do anything.

If I were a bird
If I were a bird,
I'd fly away
from this darn cold world
they call home.
I'd spread my wings,
and I'd fly away.
Over the mountains,
and into the sky.
Now I'm free.
Free to be me.
Free to do what I believe.
I'd fly away

Believe
You're a belieber,
Who likes Justin Bieber.
His music you like,
For it saved your life.
I just wish you believed in yourself.
You wear makeup,
to cover up your insecurities.
Yet you're so beautiful.
I just wish you believed in yourself.
Cuts on your wrist,
Cuts on your thighs.
You cut to stay alive.
I just wish you believed in yourself.
You're such an amazing friend,
spend ours on the phone.
You're like a little sister to me.

Lost In The Echo
I am with you,
Within this house full of darkness.
I hold your hand tightly,
But not because I am scared of what awaits,
I'm scared that if I let you go,
I won't see you again.
Knowing you are beside me,
helps to keep me at peace.
As quickly as peace came over me,
it was quickly gone by the sound of your screams.
You were no longer holding my hand,
your screams were of terror,
You screamed for help,
You screamed my name.
I followed your voice,
I ran and ran,
but I could never get far.
Darkness was prepared.
It put walls...

The Phoenix
How to survive?
Why would a child need to know that?
What kind of child would need to know that?
A child who is
Damaged
Broken
Shattered
And fading away.
A child whose life is over taken by
Sexual abuse
Depression
And Self-Harm.
I am that child.
The child who has to learn how to survive.
The child who was damaged, broken, shattered, and fading away.
The child who was sexually abused, depressed, and self-harmed.
Death was always after me.
The cops were always chasing me.
The psych wards always got me....

you are dead.
you left me at a young age.
why are you still on my mind.
as a mother you were never really there.
you were a drug addict.
when you had children you were told to stop,
or else your children would be take from you.
you didn't stop,
and we aren't with you.
why are you still on my mind?
i was put into foster care,
but you did nothing to save me.
i was put up for adoption,
but still you did nothing.

and that's when you decided to really care.
