POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
writing helps me materialize what’s inside my mind
bad days
the world has a way
of picking the worst day
to start breaking you down
it will make you frown
& wanna leave town
it feels like you’re gonna drown
& a storm cloud is following you around
the bad days are here
they turn into years
nothing is crystal clear
i will wipe away your tears
& help you face your fears
i may not be strong
but my legs are long
i will run to you
you are sweet and pure
so much that you endure
you’re amazing at everything you do
my arms are...

silhouette
shadows settle
on the place
that you left
oh my
i’m a troubled mess
consumed by
the emptiness
destroy my mind
waste of time
so far from
the finish line
living a lie
i’ve lost it all
i’m just a silhouette
a shell of a man
that you’ll soon forget
eyes are wet
from the words you left
broke me from
inside my chest
people in love
are the lucky ones
most of us are bitter
over someone
set fire to my
insides just for fun
flesh...

devils mistress
i’m left alone just sitting there
with this heavy burden that i bare
in an old creaky rocking chair
lost in thoughts of crippling despair
i swear i hear a moan at the top of stairs
i get up to check but nobody was there
frozen in my tracks i hear the voice and it says
you’re a loser
you’re a loner
you’re a weirdo
you’re a freak
success isn’t an option
your futures looking bleak
just listen to me and i’ll give you what you seek
i now awake up from a very deep sleep
i assume what happened was just a lucid...

the end
everything is different now
every day i awake anew to another nightmare somehow
every night i cry by myself in fear of my newest darkest day
i wish it was irrelevant to me that the ghost of your memory is haunting me
things just ended too abruptly
i guess i was too young & dumb
too blind & intertwined to realize
you said you were my lover
then explain that one night stand
i shouldn’t of gave you all my hours
wish i ran when i had the chance
will i ever recover from you cheating on me with another man
this is it,...

quiet tears
these quiet tears throughout the years
from all the moments that you’re not here
everything changed it’s clear as day
my heart is broken, no words left to say
i cry alone in my room late at night
so nobody knows the pain i’ve locked up so tight
i feel it in my chest i feel it in my bones
especially when i water the flowers by your gravestone
the ache in my heart will never go away
i carry this pain til my dying day
time heals all wounds, is nothing more than a lie,
these quiet tears forever running, will never dry until the day i...

true love
i think it’s time to have a taste of your own medicine
because i’m sick to death from your life of sin
some people are like clouds in fact
it’s so much brighter when they pass
you just won’t quit it’s so deliberate
why can’t you deal with it?
demons bottled up when you were just a kid
i’ll rip off your bandaid it might sting a bit
i don’t why i tried when you only give a shit about everyone else legit
i grind my teeth and bite my tongue
i learn to like the taste of my own blood
you save your skin...

I Thought You Knew
Nowhere to run
The ends begins
Before I’ve begun
I’ve been erased by the old me
It can’t be the way that it used to be
I’m starting to see everything clearly
Can you tell me again?
Will you hold me?
Like the way you used to?
If you’re on the edge or can’t decide what to do
Take another step, I’ll jump with you
I thought I’d hate you
I needed you
I thought I’d hate you
From pain you put me through
I thought I’d hate you
Cause I needed truth
I thought I’d hate you
I...

Me, Myself, & I
I lie away at night
Looking back at my life
Wondering if the path I chose was right
One moment I froze
Next my life erodes
Oh this wont suffice
I’m a rolling stone
No where to go that I call home
No more playing nice
Gotta role the dice
Try harder I pledge
Falling off the edge
I need to take a dive instead
The only one that can take back my life is
Me, myself & I
Me, myself & I
Me, myself & I
Brush off every obstacle I’ll overcome...

Blood Of A Loved One
I feel like I’m running in slow motion
Get me out of this place
These steps I retrace
The ground feels like an ocean
I lie here in pain
And try to explain
But my words just come out broken
Haven’t seen the sunlight in days
This feeling coursing through my veins
The darkness I’m forced to embrace
When will I see the sun please let me know
With no where turn & nowhere to go
I’m not myself lately I feel like an animal
The blood of my family is on my lips
This urge that...
Get me out of this place

The ground feels like an ocean
I lie here in pain
And try to explain
But my words just come out broken

This feeling coursing through my veins

When will I see the sun please let me know
With no where turn & nowhere to go

The blood of my family is on my lips

Let You Go
Does playing these mind games make you happy?
I’d follow you around and believe every single word that you’d say
You said you need me
Then you threaten to leave me
I can’t tell what’s true
Wide awake at night with no clue what to do
When we’re together you’re my treasure but you’re just always on your phone
You’re out all the time and you’re always late coming home
But you won’t tell me where’d you go
Where did you go?
It’s a shame without you I don’t know even know who I am
But all these people think they...

Someday
When you go
Go away
Won’t you come
This way
I see the universe
In her eyes
I see shooting stars
Every time she cries
I really can’t tell
If I’m dreaming
Or breathing
Cause when I’m with you
Life has meaning
Like I’m never
all alone
And I’m never
far from home
I’d run to you
Fast and far
No matter
Wherever
Forever
Your light
will guide me
Someday
When I
Cannot see
Someday
Even if It ...
Go away
Won’t you come
This way
I see the universe
In her eyes
I see shooting stars
Every time she cries
I really can’t tell

Life has meaning
Like I’m never
all alone
And I’m never
far from home
I’d run to you
Fast and far
No matter
