POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I tend to write a bit more about depressing things, rather than upbeat things but that's just what I prefer. I get in and out of poetry depending on whats going on in my life.

Acceptance
This isn't a love poem
This isn't a poem of betrayal
This isn't a poem of anger
This is a poem to help you understand
Why I can't simply smile and take you back
Love was never my intention
From day one I told you that
Put rules in place as a prevention
You said you were okay with that
Then you said you loved me
I never knew how to respond
Never could say it back
I'm glad I didn't now
Life sometimes does work out how you expect
I always told you I'd end up hurt
Always said it as a joke
Never really...

Willful Ignorance
So many believe everything the media reads us
Eat it up, memorize it like their favorite song
Believe everything they here and ignore anything that goes against
Then they wonder why the economy is failing
Wonder how the government is continuing to pull the wool of their eyes
Neglecting to consider their own stupidity
Pupularity is the only thing my generation is concerned with
Judged by materialistic things and icons who preach ignorance
Never thinking of anything more than how they appear
Building a foundation of failure and nothing more
Creating...

The Looking Glass
Screams echo the hatred in your eyes
Eyes filled to the brim with volcanic tears
Rage knotting in your stomach like a snake coiling around its prey
Hissing of the disgrace I am to you
I see your lips twisting with words of anger
Anger
I tell myself your head is clouded
Like Hiroshima after they dropped the bomb
I tell myself what your saying isn’t what true
I watch your mouth move with words
Breathing in the breath of your insults
Lungs soaking in the poisen you spew
And i don’t know what to do to make you realize
Every insult is an...

Reflection
Hate is a mirror on your chest that you can’t lift
You lay on the ground desperately trying to shove it off
Others pass, parents, siblings, grandparents
They walk by without noticing the blood on your fist
Nor the mirror repairing itself
Denial is the glass implanted inside your hand
With each blow more is lodged in
Yet you still choose to ignore it
Smearing the image with your blood
Just so you don’t have to look at it
Broken is the broken knuckles
Bones misplaced and skin torn off
Beating the concrete screaming for help
Yet...

Normal
Love presses on the heart of the child without it
Weighs on her chest like an anchor
Forces her down forcing her to inhale all the pain
Pain sears through the smile she wears
Cloaks itself hiding behind her eyes
Brown with flecks of agony lodged in
But you have to look real close and know what to look for
In order to see it
Rage boils under the long hair she hides behind
Permanently embedding itself into her thoughts
Screaming and clawing to get out her throat
Leave her lips so you will leave her life
Make all this anger just...

Not My Problem
My being ignites with the flames of the forgotten angles
Cast aside to live amongst demons
Forgotten and lost in time
My heart aches with the lies of this world
With the confusion that pop culture brings
With the stereotypes that my generation allows
Nothing but ashamed am I to say my age
Regret flutters inside my being
Contaminating the thoughts
That lost souls carry into my mind
Melancholy erupts from the cracks in the wall
Cracks too small for human eyes
Too small for the words of your tongue to heal
Too large...

A lost generation
I’m lost in the lies my government freely provides
Seeking a truth between the lines
Looking into the mirage of what might happen
I see terrorist bombing my mind through media footage
Wearing a suit and tie trying to claim they want what’s best
Is this the one time what their saying is true
If so what am I supposed to do
Cannot look away cannot act like I didn’t see
All the tricks and underhanded lies
That you’re trying to pull on me
Long since have I realized
Change is a word used to get a vote
Change isn’t going to happen

The War Inside
Doubt plagues my heart
Bringing bile up into my throat
Regurgitating all that sickeningly sweet
Hope
War drums beat outside my chest
Inflicting fear into the cavities of my soul
In which light still resides
The takeover is imminent
They all know they’re going to be slaughtered
Most flee to reside with the whispers in my head
Choosing to silence themselves
The others stay to fight
Bloody carnage is all that will be left
Darkness ensnares the light
Promising a false treaty
Oh, so naive the light is

This Is Just A Dream
Blood splatters on the wall
Ligaments and tendons torn
Limbs ripped off
Skin cut in strips healing then rehealing
Moving, rearranging, twisting
Spelled into “I’m coming for you”
Cries silence the noisy mind
In which these images of hell occur
Silence comes with a price
One in which no one is keen on paying
The desperate do desperate things
Things like snapping their own necks
Only for it to crack back in place
But for a few seconds
It’s silent
I view these monstrosities
Above them I dangle
The deranged jump and...

The Mark Of The Dead
Blood of the dead run through my veins
Poisoning me with memories
That taints my lungs
Suffocating my faith
Lies fold together like brain tissue
Forming the perfect wall
Protecting me from the truths
That you try to imprint upon me
Reading my convictions
Layering guilt like clothes during winter
Movies dance in my eye lids
Covering the scene for what it is
And putting what I want to see
Providing the illusion that your still here
Us, Together again
Your thoughts implanted into my being
Living within my mind ...
Poisoning me with memories
That taints my lungs
Suffocating my faith
Lies fold together like brain tissue
Forming the perfect wall
Protecting me from the truths
That you try to imprint upon me
Reading my convictions
Layering guilt like clothes during winter
Movies dance in my eye lids
Covering the scene for what it is
And putting what I want to see
Providing the illusion that your still here
Us, Together again
Your thoughts implanted into my being
Living within my mind ...

Stillborn
Silence echoes on the walls
And in our heart
Painting a picture of heartbreak
It’s not the awkward silence
No this is different
Nobody’s shifting uncomfortably
Nobody moves, nobody even makes a sound
Fearing it will somehow hurt
What is already broken
This silence isn’t filled with tension
This is a silence of utter despair
It’s suffocating everyone
Yet no one breaks it in fear
Like, if we hold our breath
Then maybe you’ll receive yours
Breathe your first breath of life
Cry for the very first time
Open your...
And in our heart
