POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My head is a twisted nightmare that cannot be woken from. But oh well.
3 Years
It's been over three GOD DAMNED MOTHER FUCKING years.
It was only so long ago you left me so fucking selfishly.
I LOVED you,
Assuming this makes any constellation,
Not like you'll be coming back.
After all your fucking promises. All you said.
Those endless nights staying on the phone,
watching over each other as they slept.
You attempt and come back.
YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK.
I shake as I think about you
my head is an endless mess that cannot be put together,
only because you had just up and gone.
And I can't even say you're gone...

I Am Not Okay
I am not okay.
Don’t listen to what I say.
I have an internal pain.
And these nights are driving me further down this road
This road of not being happy.
This god damned road of pain and agony.
I AM NOT OKAY.
I will listen all day not a word to say
but night I cry and write to get my emotions out.
To cope with what I cannot describe.
I cannot even fathom why I’m this way.
I just am this.
I am.
Not.
Okay.
I will push myself over the fucking edge,
to make you happy.
I will be the opposite of myself,
if it so pleases...

Single Crime
To get away with a crime,
one that would help my mind relax,
simply would be sublime.
The crime I would commit is genocide.
The true definition is not specific,
the death of many would bring me peace.
Not innocent but those who deserve agony.
Them suffering from my hand would set me free.
To get away clean not a drop on my clothing,
All of the people I love unknowing,
A delicious sweet from all the pain,
From their necks their blood will drain.
Not a population of race,
or those who hide behind a religious face,
Only an...

Cut Them Down
One by one,
Cut them down,
Take and kill them.
Chop off their heads.
Burn the bodies,
Turn them to each other,
Kill them off,
Homicide circling the mind,
Escape the prison that is morals.
Let go of your fears,
Cut them down.
Make them scream,
Finally you can live your fantasy.
KILL THEM.
CUT THEM DOWN.

Why Must It Be So Complicated
Admiration and desperation,
The one I'm with I must admit isn't the greatest.
But my longing is not from the lack of love.
My longing comes from deep within.
To be with you, you say would be horrible,
But I see you to be adorable.
How much it hurts to see him in pain,
I would risk this to have you.
You're clearer than morning dew,
Softer than its grass,
Only to have you in my grasp.
You slip away slowly,
I wish I wasn't so lowly.
Why must this war rage in my mind,
and pull my heart in.
If I could have waited,
Had more courage,...

Brighter Skies
The one word that simply brightens the skies,
What words may come to mind?
Personality in every word shines.
Hope for one who's kind,
Love for those who care,
Courage for who will not easily scare,
Knowledge for the wise,
Happiness for the brightest eyes.
Which word will come to mind?
The one that will brighten your skies.

Deterioration
People are devolving,
Some stupid and others snobby.
The world is deteriorating,
If I were a critique and the world a movie,
A one would be the highest rating.
Literature dumbed down so students aren't "left behind",
Giving the one's who understand things quickly the melon's rind.
Slowly people will begin to find,
This world is dying off.
Me and the others may just sit here and scoff.

You're a Garden, I'm a Measly Bug.
Music higher than life,
Greatness is your strife.
Plainly outgoing,
Although at first not showing.
Vibrant mind,
Heart absolutely kind.
Mellow like a lake's bottom,
Nothing to seemingly annoy him.
Warmth from his heart,
Nothing like what's from his art.
Sincere and Sweet,
Each conversation more and more deep.
Admiration to his lifestyle and talent.
If only I could be like him,
Let alone be enough for him.

Last Drop
Just one sip.
Take me on the relaxing trip.
Quick give it a quick slip,
Put it in the drink they won't know.
Only tonight,
Just once,
I'll know when I've had enough.
Takes me low,
Wonder how far I'll go.
One more glass,
It'll help the pain pass.
So much better,
Feels like this low will last forever.
Laying on the couch,
One more drink makes it in my mouth.
Is it booze or is it somethin' to help me snooze,
Drugs or Liquor,
Whichever works quicker.
This one is the last.
One more.

On the Other Side of the Mirror
Broken glass,
shattered from the past.
Let me see back,
to the past,
when I was a blank page.
Why does it always go wrong with age.
Why did I always suffer with such a rage.
Back as a kid,
so young and so violent,
With the boys,
No more 'girly' toys,
Mud and stunts,
passing by the days.
Born to be a hopeless mistake,
parents expected me to be something great,
I tried and now their faith has died.
Down a hole,
Only ten years old.
Power gone,
to help the ones past this fate.
Pushed...

SMILE
Smiles to hide the pain.
Collapsing from the shame.
smiLe.
Today it's going to be okay,
Just another average day.
Don't you see you can't be sad.
All your friends depend on it and it's slowly driving you mad.
SmiLe.
Walk on.
It's a new day.
Everything is going to go away.
SmiLE.
SMiLE.
SMILE!
Don't fall apart.
Don't break their hearts.
Smile damn you!
Don't let it take over.
Don't let it fall.
Another one gone.
So beautiful but so worn.
Hurt beyond repair.
Such a big heart,
with no one to share....
Collapsing from the shame.
