POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Draven Welch, that guy who can't word.
Fill with fire exhale desire
Can I just let go now?
You ruined it all
All my faith is gone
Can you just go now?
Your spark is finally lit
Do you think I give a shit?
You breathe through lies
You suffocate my heart
Slowly I let go
I turn my pain into art
On this canvas of a leg and wrist
So go away and feel my pain
Cut yourself with my blade
Bleed my blood
Cry my tears
Alone you stood
I faced my fears
You fucked up so now I bleed and you cry
And now I see all this time
All this pain is really mine
And all I...
You ruined it all
All my faith is gone
Can you just go now?
Your spark is finally lit
Do you think I give a shit?
You breathe through lies
You suffocate my heart
Slowly I let go
I turn my pain into art
On this canvas of a leg and wrist
So go away and feel my pain
Cut yourself with my blade
Bleed my blood
Cry my tears
Alone you stood
I faced my fears
You fucked up so now I bleed and you cry
And now I see all this time
All this pain is really mine
And all I...

Thus sounds better in my head
My confidence
Attacked by my common sense
I laugh at the emptiness
Attached to your compliments
This nervousness
You bring with your easiness
Lowering and your confidence
Erasing this crumpled mess
My self esteem
-
So even though it's scary
I like the way it feels
And it's weird that I'm caring
But it's my heart that you steal
When you brush my skin
And you hold me with such passion
My blood races and flows thin
I feel so numb but I'm ecstatic
-
Slowly you walk away
My heart is pounding my thoughts race...

I know you're trouble
The innocent face of trouble I see
And even knowing this truth is true within me
When near me you come compelled I am to speak
Worried I am yet fearful I am not
Comfortably I speak but to stop I forgot
Incorrectly I spoke for not asking your thoughts
Foolish I feel for trying so hard
Knowing I need know hearing the rumors so far
Bet yet still I leave conversational scars
So silence I wish I could call my own
Hope I do for the connection of our cellular phones
For then I can think and speak with the peace of being alone
And even knowing this truth is true within me
When near me you come compelled I am to speak
Worried I am yet fearful I am not
Comfortably I speak but to stop I forgot
Incorrectly I spoke for not asking your thoughts
Foolish I feel for trying so hard
Knowing I need know hearing the rumors so far
Bet yet still I leave conversational scars
So silence I wish I could call my own
Hope I do for the connection of our cellular phones
For then I can think and speak with the peace of being alone

Yep.
Crying tears
Of the past
Hiding fears
Of the last
Smiling lips
Curl to a lie
Tasting sips
Of how I'll die
Slicing thighs
My blood dries
Over my lies
Revealing my cries
A thin scar
Showing my weakness
Revealing my shame
Exposing my bleakness
See my true self
See all my pain
So all I've done
To hide all my shame
See all my scars
For they have made me
Close yours eyes and visualize
The truth you'll never see
Of the past
Hiding fears
Of the last
Smiling lips
Curl to a lie
Tasting sips
Of how I'll die
Slicing thighs
My blood dries
Over my lies
Revealing my cries
A thin scar
Showing my weakness
Revealing my shame
Exposing my bleakness
See my true self
See all my pain
So all I've done
To hide all my shame
See all my scars
For they have made me
Close yours eyes and visualize
The truth you'll never see

I don't know.
"Stop the car
I'm done" she screamed
I put it in park
I said "What do you mean?"
"I just can't take this
We can only crash"
She tried to go
But I pulled her back
"Baby please
I'll drive slow
I'll stay off
The main roads"
"That's not good enough
How do I know
That you wont
Lose control"
She grabs the wheel
Towards the ditch we go
Side swipped
A crumpled mess in the road
He opens his door
She happily gets in
And with just one step...
I'm done" she screamed

Towards the ditch we go

He opens his door
She happily gets in

Hopeless Romantic
This one is more of a song.
You said you wanted to stay together
forever
you said I was the reason that
you wanted more
ladi dadi dum da dum da dum x 3
A hopeless romantic
you called yourself
another lonely woman
you needed help
you wanted love the way
I wanted you
It was all a lie
you wanted help
all that you need
is saving from yourself
You pulled me around
not knowing what I'd do
You wanted another boy
I was just another toy
another victim to play your games
you suffered...

The Battle
In this battle
I'm alone again
I'm fighting
my only friend
this battle
never to be won
the blood of the innocent
blots out the sun
my blood on the battle field
you swing but I raise my shield
your blade it cuts me deep
through my armor my blood does seep
I'm on my knees again
bathing in blood and sin
many lives already lost
an intramural holocaust
my battle scars
are still visable
my armor's broken
my blade is dull
The battle is at a stand still
the war has ceased
we are both still...

The pain
My legs
they ache
my spirit
it breakes
my lungs
they breathe
her love
I need
My pain
I hide
my eyes
they cry
these words
I write
this battle
I fight
these days
they pass
these scars
they last
my anger
they feed
my legs
they bleed
those words
you said
on and on
you lead
the shoe
it fits
fuck this
I quit
they ache
my spirit
it breakes
my lungs
they breathe
her love
I need
My pain
I hide
my eyes
they cry
these words
I write
this battle
I fight
these days
they pass
these scars
they last
my anger
they feed
my legs
they bleed
those words
you said
on and on
you lead
the shoe
it fits
fuck this
I quit

I actually thought I had you.
I wrote these back to back.. They kind of go together.
I should've seen it coming
I should've started running
at the sight of your love
your clever and your cunning
Now my blood is turning
back into black
runs from my leg
it leaves a crack
a cut
a slit
I'm tired of this shit
make up your mind or
I'm done
with all of this
-
I always say I'm done
but you call me and I run
then you stop me, I stand stunned
why am I surprised
I should have realized
that was not love in your eyes
just another reason to cry...

What have I become?
Just so you know, none of this rhymes.
What have I become?
As a kid, I never expected this.
The scars and the pain, but why?
I never wanted this.
I let a woman control my life.
I let my friends down.
I am an outcast.
I am not meant for this world.
I am an extra, in my own movie.
I never expected being this kid.
The kid dressed in all black.
The kid contemplating suicide.
The kid no one likes.
I can barely talk.
So I write.
I have a book.
But every page is the same.
I have scars.
But they solve nothing.
We...

Give up
I can no longer feel
I no longer care
I just sit still
and quietly stare
the world around us lives
so fast
so hard
so quick to forgive
the words
the scars
why try to move on
when you never truly do
the same thoughts always lurk
and the truth finds you
give up
just quit
don't give a fuck
don't give a shit
just die
let live
don't lie
or forgive
I no longer care
I just sit still
and quietly stare
the world around us lives
so fast
so hard
so quick to forgive

and the truth finds you
give up
just quit
don't give a fuck
don't give a shit
just die
let live
don't lie
