POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i have been writing poetry since i was in middle school i had known that i didn't write quite like anyone else did
Woman in the mirror
I am looking at the woman in the mirror
I'm started to see so much clearer
The time it took for me to see me
Didn't seem to happen gradually
It took time to see me
I didn't know who that truly was
You do not know how hard it is
To not feel as if you know who you see
Overcoming yesterday to walk into today
Allowed me to see so much clearer
So I had to make a change in how I saw me
That way I could see myself in a better view

Drowning
I'm caught up in a world when it feels as if I've been swept off my feet.
They won't allow me to find the ground again.
I am way too high up starting to affect my breathing.
I'm looking I need to be trying to find the ground again.
Instead of the ground I fall into water.
I started to feel as if I'm being dragged into a lake.
I look around for different ways to escape.
Not knowing if I will be able to nor if I should give in.
Questioning if I should fight or allow me to drown.
From what he and she say I'm lucky.
For me that's all I needed to...

The Actress
I have played many roles to appease people.
Who would not return the favor if they could?
I have become Chamaeleon to adapt in every place I went.
Allowed people to see my emotions as a weakness.
Fearing my vulnerability, afraid of how it could be used.
I covered up every ounce of pain with a smile to make everyone comfy.
While I slowly suffered in silence due to the fact that I felt no one cared to hear.
Finding myself consumed with feelings I no longer understood.
By holding...

Passion and Pain
I turn on TV in fear some time
Hoping we haven't lost another
I'm not nagging you my dear
I hold my family a little closer now too
We're living as if we have targets
Being hunting down like animals
Stalking their prey
They mistake your passion for aggression
You're so misunderstood and they don't see you the way we do
I wept for who you could be and changes you could make
I see a greatness and beauty that lies inside of you
When you hurt so I do
I feel the pain when tears fall from my eyes
I want you to know this...

lost identity
i felt as i had bumped my head
or i had been in a terrible accident
Couldn't remember who i was or why it was important
Only doing what you wanted to do
making sure i brought pleasure to you
I still had friends but i only hang with but two of them
when i called my boys it wasn't about seeing them
it made me feel as if I'd been walking around blindfolded
Wouldn't ask for much for me out the relationship
my creativity fell by the waist side
my dreams were no longer relevant
somehow nothing seemed to be more of priority than you
not spending...

Honestly Wrong
I thought if I could prove how I felt we be
Maybe I was dreaming you opened to me
So I thought I share with you
Became an open book allowed you to read my diary
I figured the words you said meant something once spoken
Yet I was wrong to believe you could change
I told myself you'd stop being shallow
Eventually see this beauty everyone else saw
You could move behind weight
I kept trying believe you were in love with me
Just didn't see what I needed to
Honestly I was wrong cause falling for someone
Shouldn't hurt as much but the web of lies...

Lost Joy
I think you enjoy putting me threw the ringer
having me go from happy to sad
leading me on
getting me giddy about me helping you change
once again i feel like you want to drain me
Of any love i'll have left in me
you've become that theif who tempted me with charm
I'm tired looking for my smile when i'm with you
I guess you weren't ever meant to make me happy
You only know the right words when you need something
When it time to maintain the smile you fail that task
Knowing that you shouldn't have last
Once two or a third or fourth time
I...

shuryne of pain
I open the drawer to feel like
I've traveled back in time five years ago
Finding everything down to the registry
Books of names and things you'll need
Apartment books with pages bent
For plans to expand your living arrangements
To procedures I had done to check see
How you current living arrangement suited you
as I travel down memory lane
The first thing I remember is all the pain
Before I ever think our joy
It seems that it took for my heart
To be okay with this trip
I feel like I just light years away
But once I feel joy touch me...

My addiction
So your tongue as sweet as candy
your words come from the heart
you make sure our time is well-spent
with lips as soft as pillows
that demand my attention
I'm hoping once I choose
I'll be making the right decision
am I being controlled by lust
or could I be falling back in love
I feel as if a question mark appears over my head
whenever someone talks to me
all your words seem sweet
but I fear that I'll become addicted
you'll move in
I'll be stuck saying my addiction was my win / lose
your words come from the heart

Oded on pain
you couldn't understand the story
unless i told you
see pain I've withstand today
believing in the better tomorrow
the tears i once shed take longer to come
the heartache and break built up
to the point where I'll write about the pain
it will delay itself for quite sometime
my pain can hit a boiling point
its like popping pills
i'll take one dose after the other
i find myself trying to evaluate
where it all started
i remember when it could take a toll
now I've put up a guard
it's like a computer firewall
what i don't want to get...
