POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Alone In The Dark
Alone in the dark, my knees to my chest.
Hiding in the corner, maybe for the best.
Rocking back and forth, thoughts racing through my head.
Who knew this is the way, my life would be instead.
Mistakes that I made, are catching up to me.
Nobody has a clue, what it is that they see.
They look as if I’m human, which is what they see outside.
Nobody sees the empty soul, where all the demons hide.
They look in my eyes, and everyone turns away.
I am the one that all will fear, and no one wants to stay.
So this is why I sit alone, by myself in the dark....

A Little Too Late
I live in such shame, and drown in misery.
I've given all I can, that people don't see.
I am a mistake, that one would not know.
When all of my pain, will never let me go.
The demons in my head, take over my soul.
I just give up, now they can take control.
What do I have to lose, there's nothing for me.
So when I give in, now everyone will see.

Nobody Should Live This Way
My world is full of hate, not love.
It’s cold and dark, no light above.
It gets harder and harder every single day.
Nobody wants to live this way.
I sit in the dark, my eyes bloodshot red.
With all these thoughts racing through my head.
I’ve tried to make all of this end.
It just seems to happen again and again.
How do I make this go away?
This is my life, nobody should live this way

What The World Should Be
Love me, hate me, set me free
Show me what the world should be.
A place you don’t lose what you love.
Where happiness soars above.
One where joy is all around.
A place where lost ones all are found.
A world that’s colorful, bright and fun.
Not filled with darkness from everyone.
Where anything you say is heard.
A place where hate is not a word.
A lovely world, unlike my own.
The place I wish I could’ve gone.
Show me what the world should be.
A place you don’t lose what you love.
Where happiness soars above.
One where joy is all around.
A place where lost ones all are found.
A world that’s colorful, bright and fun.
Not filled with darkness from everyone.
Where anything you say is heard.
A place where hate is not a word.
A lovely world, unlike my own.
The place I wish I could’ve gone.

Welcome To My World
welcome to my world,
where things are dark and cold.
every day is the same,
the perception just gets old.
nobody knows,
how it really feels this way.
they only go by,
what they hear or say.
once you live the life,
then your thoughts will change.
there is nothing there to feel,
its only filled with rage.
ones say it will get better,
but I don't think it will.
I've tried to change my ways,
but now I just can't feel.

Forget to Remember
Nobody understands, the things I feel inside.
So I stay quiet to myself, or just run away and hide.
My world has become dark, and I never say a word.
Everybody looks at me, as if my voice was heard.
The world has become nothing, there’s no light ahead.
I feel as if I have not seen, the last tear drop to shed.
I try to forget the feelings, that I felt in my heart.
This is why I should have, just stopped from the start.
Now the memories that I have, will never go away.
I need to forget to remember, each and every day.
Alone is...

Just Turn Away
I walk alone,
along the streets at night.
just think to myself,
about all of my life.
mistakes that I've made,
or caused to be.
all the hurt people,
the tears that you'd see.
a bad habit is what I am,
one where you can't say no.
I will make your life a misery,
and you can't let go.
so if I walk by,
just turn your head away.
because if you don't,
you won't like the price you pay.

Nobody Has Survived
How could one person,
Mean the world to me.
When I know in my mind,
We will never be.
I sit in the room,
Dark quiet and small.
Then nobody will ever,
See the tear drops fall.
As I sit by myself,
Alone in the dark.
I say no words,
No thought, and no heart.
All has become nothing,
Just like you and me.
I’m left with my morals,
And my own dignity.
The room is dark and quiet,
It starts to feel real cold.
It used to be my heart,
That now is a big, black hole.
Once you’re in the hole,
No one...
Mean the world to me.
When I know in my mind,
We will never be.
I sit in the room,
Dark quiet and small.
Then nobody will ever,
See the tear drops fall.
As I sit by myself,
Alone in the dark.
I say no words,
No thought, and no heart.
All has become nothing,
Just like you and me.
I’m left with my morals,
And my own dignity.
The room is dark and quiet,
It starts to feel real cold.

That now is a big, black hole.
Once you’re in the hole,
No one...

Hide in the Dark
I hide in the dark, where no one can see.
What all the things are, that the world has done to me.
You look into my eyes, and see an empty soul.
I can’t help how I feel in my heart, I have no control.
They say that in time, that all of this will heal.
I ask how much time, or will I ever feel?
My heart has quit beating, and I have nothing else to share.
All they know is what they see, and no one seems to care.
I don’t want anybody, and the world is cold to me.
So I hide in the dark, where no one can see.

You'll Always Have My Heart
I love you more than words can explain.
Every day I wake up, all I feel is pain
I hear our song, and it just makes me cry.
I can't get rid of this, and want to know why.
I gave you my heart, it won't go away.
I loved you then, and I still love you today.
I think about us, and the way that its been.
I know its my fault, I just want it to end.
They ask me if this love, is the one that is true.
I tell them I think so, I will always love you.
I want to be together with you until the end.
I feel I have lost, a lot more than a friend.
So I wanted to...

Who Ever Thought?
Who ever thought, your first love would be your last?
The days just get shorter, time goes by too fast.
What would one do, if you gave them your heart?
Now you feel lost, it has all fallen apart.
You try to let it go, but it doesn’t work that way.
The more I try not to feel, hurts worse and worse each day.
I have an empty hole, where my heart used to be.
Now I have no feelings, just my dignity.
Everything you wanted has already gone and passed.

Messed Up Fathers Day
The day that goes to show you,
How much you mean.
The day that I wish,
I would have never seen.
The actions speak,
Much louder than words.
It really goes to show me,
What I am actually worth.
The ones that would have mattered,
To just call and say hi.
Didn't even turn their heads,
When I tried to say good bye.
I guess that it’s okay,
I'm just another guy....
