POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Leap of Faith
What is it that makes you want to feel?
If it’s with your heart, if it’s fake or is it real.
You give all you got, until you can’t give anymore.
That will let you know, if what you feel is for sure.
Because when you have given all that you can.
That is when you see, who’ll give that extra hand.
The one that is there, when you open your eyes.
And the one that is honest, not just full of lies.
You make each other happy, from beginning to the end.
The one you can count on to be more than your friend.
How can you tell if your choice was a mistake?...
If it’s with your heart, if it’s fake or is it real.
You give all you got, until you can’t give anymore.
That will let you know, if what you feel is for sure.

Flaws in Life
There are things that we do, that we
try to hide.
Afraid that we might have to swallow
our pride.
One thing that is just too bad for us
to cause.
Makes someone else look down on our
flaws.
We do what we can to try to fix all
of our blames.
That doesn't always work for things
that cause shame.
We then learn to face and accept our
mistakes.
So that's when we find what will
cause all the aches.
When it hurts inside from each
different part.
That's when we realize what we feel...

Trusting in the Heart
Trusting is one thing that some just
can’t do.
We try to give in, but it all is
still new.
It’s one thing we can’t just do
overnight.
Some of us never will, in our whole
life.
I tell people to show me, it’s not
what you say.
They tell me what they want, it don’t
work that way.
Trust is a thing, you feel in your
heart.
When you know how that feels, you
don’t want to be apart.
Things seem to happen at the worst of
times to be.
Everything falls apart, and the
finger is pointed...

My Perspective
As I open my eyes, I think all about
What have I done wrong, to live in
such doubt.
Is there any way, to make it better
again?
Life is a game that you will never
win.
We try to make the best of what we
can at the time.
Who knew it could all change at the
drop of a dime?
The world crashes around you at the
blink of an eye.
Nothing will work out, even if you
try.
People all just think that I am
negative.
I try to explain that there’s no
other way to live.

Reflection
We all have that someone we can’t
stand to be around.
We try to change the subject, because
it puts us down.
And nobody knows who really is to
blame.
When you think about them and all you
see is shame.
It brings all the anger and makes
other times sad.
If you were to see them, you’d think
someone is bad.
They bring the headache and cause all
your pain.
You try to avoid it, but it’s crying
your name.
It has that voice, where you can’t
walk away.
You find it to see that it’s all...
stand to be around.

Death
How can we tell if we should really be
here?
Do we feel it inside, and just face
our fear?
Some people don’t fear, the moment to
be.
Others get scared about what they’ll
see.
There are those that don’t care and
wait for the day.
Others just want it and try to choose
the way.
Which way is the best, should one
feel the pain?
Or just make it quick, what will we
gain?
Life is a journey that we all have to
take.
Which way that is goes, depends on
your mistake.

Love is a Lie
Why do things happen, in the ways
they do?
I guess they call it fate, is all
that really true?
One will get this feeling, while the
other one is near.
They say that it’s called love, which
also gives you fear.
You get this happy feeling, which can
also scare someone.
Except while you’re together, and
having all the fun.
Some will take the leap of faith,
hoping that it works.
It has some of the downfall, but also
gives you perks.
Things will happen then, that makes
your brain just...
