POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing, food, and alcohol is all I need in life. I am touched by the things I've written and they've helped me through a lot. I hope you enjoy and can relate to them as well. I hope they help you as much as they've helped me. Thank you.
The Rage Monster
Watch out my sweet babies,
the monster has come.
She wants to play.
Why don't you feed it some?
It's starving dear children,
Why don't you see?
All it sees are red.
This creature is not me.
This, my innocent ones,
lives inside us all.
Can't you feel it?
It's clawing on the inside walls.
It lies dormant in your brain.
This is the monster of Rage.
For the love of all that is holy,
keep it in it's cage.
Because dear children, I do not doubt
that if awoken, it will maime.
If you care about anything at all....
the monster has come.

The Lord's Prayer (Revised)
Now I lay me down to sleep.
There is no Lord, my soul will not keep.
Let me die before I wake,
I am a traitor, my soul forsaked.
Life is not fair, this I know.
Maybe to hell my soul will go.
I know not what the future holds,
but who will hold me when my body turns cold?
Onward, go forth thine own spirit.
For your perilous journey a candle has been lit.
I know now that before you know it's over.
My mind is cruel like the Demon of Dover.
Time to leave, this world I'll miss.
Sorry to say, blackness is Bliss.

A Breath of Fresh Air
I have the key in my hand.
If only I could reach the lock.
The bars are rattling
and I am battling
to get out.
I can see the end of the maze,
but the last turn is a fork.
Venture on if you dare
though for fresh air
I would kill.
It's stuffy in here,
the air is so stale.
I would love it to death
to get just one freedom breath
from outside.
I know you truly don't care,
but I need a breath of fresh air.

A Ritual of Mundane Proportions
Hello friend... long time no see.
Shall we ruin my sense of vanity?
Slice- you're worthless
Cut- you're nothing
Slash- you're garbage
Slit- just die
Everyday the process is the same.
They shout insults as I go insane.
Is it so bad I agree with them instead?
Is it so terrible to agree with voices in your head?

Karma
I guess it's universal payback for all I've done.
I've always played with male emotions, it was so much fun.
Unfortunately I let my heart soften.
A kind of paradise that doesn't happen to often.
But this vulnerable heart, I placed in your hands,
and I knew you'd break it anyway you can.
Is this how I made others feel?
A huge sense of pain with no way to heal.
I feel myself cracking and breaking,
It just hurts, inside I am aching.
I'm sure that I earned all of this pain.
To make others feel this, is cruel and insane.

A Frozen Heart
Our kingdom has gone asunder,
They're rolling in do you hear the thunder.
They're coming to overthrow my brain,
put someone else in charge? That's insane!
The heart is weak give it the test
Miserably it fails just like the rest.
If you think I'm cold well thats just nice,
let me poem speak a heart made of ice.
No longer it sends warm blood through my veins more like liquid nitrogen to lessen the pain. Because I'm frozen and if you still doubt,
your cold dead body I could care less about.

The Stranger In The Suit
The mysterious man rolls through.
He comes like a foreboding wind.
He walks tentatively, as decieving ones do.
I notice him watching all we do.
Studying and always calculating.
This is the stranger in the suit.
He's so finely dressed, no one thinks different.
No human mind could even ponder,
About the chaos and destruction he was bent.
One by one they all disappeared,
Every citizen in my town.
Until literally their heads did rear,
Scattered on the ground.
Then the horror struck, terrible it was. ...

Are You Okay?
"Im worried."
"Are you okay?"
"You don't seem like you.."
"Can I help in anyway?"
Listen to them everyday.
You don't believe in God, but pray.
Pray that they will stop asking.
Ask them to go away.
Ask them to stop asking.. Are you Okay?
"I'm scared."
"You're disengaged from the world."
"You need to talk to someone."
"Are you okay?"
I am screaming, bellowing out.
You can't tap me like a greasy water spout.
Letting all my pain out.
You...

I've Changed My Addiction
The blade is gone
I still continue on.
I see it there taunting, flaunting, daunting.
Just daring me to give in.
Again.'
This is my confessional,
It's a little unconventional,
but hey, it's my problem anyway.
How do I say it? I've given in.
To a different kind of sin.
I decided to drink my them away,
maybe they'll come back someday.
For now I'm in a stupor. That I can't turn back from.
I am drinking to go home.
I drink to keep my head alone.
I do enjoy casual conversations.
My mind is unnatural conservation....

Don't Swim Today, My Friend
The first ripple in the water,
maybe you shouldn't bother
trying to go swimming today.
I have nothing to hide
under the aqueous tides.
Definitely don't swim to the bottom.
Because I am sorry to inform
a sorry soul transformed
into worthless fish food.
No I am not a killer,
I could not be any clearer.
I am fucking psychotic.
So please for your own sake,
please do not rake
the bottom of my pit of souls.
Because you know the release of my secret I will not tolerate.
Just another body, you will make.

Thoughts of a Transient
Verse 1
I see the path of Straight and Narrow.
If I go on trouble will still follow.
I try to see clear,
but I still see me in the mirror.
What's wrong with me?
Why can't you see?
Everything is bad with me.
Chorus
I've been here waiting.
The line is shifting.
Waiting on me to change.
But can it see it under my skin,
My ever blooming sin?
I don't want to venture on..
Goodness is too strange.
Verse 2
Yes I should walk the light,
but I feel no horror in the night.
If you can blend in the shadows....
I see the path of Straight and Narrow.
If I go on trouble will still follow.
I try to see clear,
but I still see me in the mirror.
What's wrong with me?
Why can't you see?
Everything is bad with me.

Am I Still Dark?
I think you see my flow has changed.
Isn't everything a little strange?
Can you tell I'm still deranged?
Where's the dark metaphors?
What about a reference to a whore?
Am I dark anymore?
The latest poems are about how I think,
but do you know I'll still sink
you to the bottom of an unfrozen rink?
Oh No Run away!
Crazy's back, she's here to stay!
She's come to play another day.
Sorry all who breathe a sigh.
Relief is gone, say bye-bye.
Do you still want my dark rhymes?
