POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write dark and depressing, stuff that I enjoy, I'm not all that great to be quite honest
Reflection
I will never be happy with the way I look
I will never be satisfied with seeing the reflection of myself in the mirror
Reflected by glass, I can not hide from the painful truth I see before me
Hair, chopped short so that I can never escape the taunts about my sexually
Pale face splattered with freckles and imperfections that only get in the way
My collar bones do not protrude from my skin like the girls in the magazines
My chest is laughable, barely noticeable on the best of days
The fat on my stomach will always make me cringe, tear up
Added with the...

The Desert
Desert skyline
A cascading sunset tells the world that the night will be cool
Barren land
Nothing but miles and miles of sand
A hot sun
A beautiful moon
And lone animals wale in the distant
The desert
The cacti judge spectators as they cry with parched mouths
The desert wasteland
She is a cruel maiden
Likes to watch the weak stumble
And the strong conquer all
Hues and shades of purple and orange
As the blazing sun crawls below the mountains
Silence captures the ears of listeners
Nothing but the gentle hiss of sandy wind...

Dragon Fruit
My darling, she is dragon fruit
Outside she is beautiful
Strong and confident
Fitting for her name
And look inside her loving mind
Milky purple sweet filing
Dotted with black demons
Dragon fruit and pomegranate
She defines beauty
She defines inner horror
I love to see her
Inside and out
Outside she is beautiful
Strong and confident
Fitting for her name
And look inside her loving mind
Milky purple sweet filing
Dotted with black demons
Dragon fruit and pomegranate
She defines beauty
She defines inner horror
I love to see her
Inside and out

Sick
Carnivorous fangs line blackened gums
Veins run like blue racetracks on almost deceased flesh
Cancerous tumors eat away gray, wrinkled brain matter
And lung shacking coughs make it feel like you've let out the last breath in a seizuring body
You're losing more hair everyday
Collar bones and ribs stick out like burnt twigs on a tree
Hip bones make crooked and curved smiles just under your skin
Surgical scars and IV fluids
Bio-hazardous waste bins eat bloody latex gloves
You're prepped for surguary
Nurses prick you with needles full of drugs
They...

Sheeple
I hate walking in school hallways
I feel like another sheep
Shuffling their way through crowded halls on the way to the slaughter
Mindless lambs walking around, last without a shepherd
I hate walking in this school
I wish not to fall into the dank hole of fashion trends and face-sucking boy friends
I wish to be no-body but myself
I wish not to be a sheep
But here I am
Walking among the rest of laughing livestock
Puffy, white, happy sheeple
Prancing around as if there is nothing wrong as all...

Suicide's Last Meal
She poured herself a glass of bleach
And lit her last cigarette in the pack
She sat at the table
With the lights turned off
And let the acid slide down her throat
Her cheeks were stained with bruises and tears
And her scars kept singing
When the silence grew too loud
She poured herself another glass
Her stomach began to churn
But she didn't want to stop
The butt of her cigarette fell to the floor
And her face met the cool metal table
The last glass of bleach
Sat empty right beside her
And lit her last cigarette in the pack
She sat at the table
With the lights turned off
And let the acid slide down her throat
Her cheeks were stained with bruises and tears
And her scars kept singing
When the silence grew too loud
She poured herself another glass
Her stomach began to churn
But she didn't want to stop
The butt of her cigarette fell to the floor
And her face met the cool metal table
The last glass of bleach
Sat empty right beside her

Drug Induced State
Will you kiss me through the prison glass?
Because darling I'm a rebel
I'll fuck you on the library steps
Black painted fingernails digging into goosebump flesh
Honey, let's shot up
Heroin courses through our veins
I'll kiss the tattoos up your spine
Hands laced
In a drug induced state
Can you shoe me your mistress ways?
Because black magic takes years
I'll steal the crown jewels
If they could match the color of your eyes
We'll sleep off the pain
Needles in out arms
We're going down with this ship
And smiling all the...

Rat Races
Day in and day out
Like clock work rat races
Slithering with cold blood
Heavy eyes and slumped shoulders
Show the signs of day to day wear
Not quite built to last
But satisfaction guaranteed

Pep Rallies
The school pride is sickening
The way you smile in your bold colors
You hardly care about the people that sorround you
Nothing more than pride you don't deserve
No, I don't want to talk to you
No, don't sit next to me
No, your classes bore me
No, I will not be at the game tonight
I have more important things to do
Shut off the music
Your taste is horrible
Fuck your pep rallies
I'd rather watch paint dry
Your painted smiles and plastic hearts
The sluts and the stupid
People like you are why I'm medicated
You hold...

Cotton Sheets
You caress me in ways I have never felt before
And your kisses melt into my skin
My fingers wrap around your lavender hair
And your eyes shine like nothing else in the dark room
Heat radiates off of our bodies
As the cotton sherts bind us together
Enveloped, incased, consumed by lust
You are giving as much as you receive
You plead and beg, demand and take
Shivers, gasps, moans
We can not be contained
I press against bare skin
Exploring, cautiously and clumsily
Because first times
Don't always come easy
But a fluid,...

The Piano
She walks down quiet halls
Her bare feet slide across old floor boards
The flowing maroon dress
That once belonged to her mother
Gets frayed and worn
As she walks
In a dull blank stare
She comes across a room
A simple room
With dusty walls
And ripped drapes that cover broken windows
And in the farthest corner
An old piano sits
Her curiosity overcomes her
The yellowing and cracked keys
Call her name with so much grace
It screams for a warm hand
To be touched
To be loved
To rid it's stringed...

Mouse and Viper
I am the quiet church mouse
That scurries behind large wooden pews
Scared of other people's shadows
Content with silence
I am the quiet church mouse
And you are the viper spiting venom at the alter
You spit a string of curses
And they're all directed toward me
You tell me to put my paws up
Because it's a big world out there
And this world has no room
For small little brown mice
I flinch with every poisonous vowel
I feel tears prick at my eyes
And after you let your toxin sink in
You leave a bitter taste...
That scurries behind large wooden pews
Scared of other people's shadows
Content with silence
I am the quiet church mouse
And you are the viper spiting venom at the alter
You spit a string of curses
And they're all directed toward me
You tell me to put my paws up
Because it's a big world out there
And this world has no room
For small little brown mice
I flinch with every poisonous vowel
I feel tears prick at my eyes
And after you let your toxin sink in
