POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
One Day...
No way to escape the pain
Just survive through another day
wipe the tears off your face
One day you will be saved
No way to let it out
Whispers heard instead of shouts
Hide the agony in your eyes
One day you will have survived
No way to live through the night
Another time spent terrified
Pleads to God to keep your life
One day you will be fine
A brand new day
the sun shines bright
The clouds and shadows drift away
Today is the day you're finally okay
Just survive through another day
wipe the tears off your face
One day you will be saved
No way to let it out
Whispers heard instead of shouts
Hide the agony in your eyes
One day you will have survived
No way to live through the night
Another time spent terrified
Pleads to God to keep your life
One day you will be fine
A brand new day
the sun shines bright
The clouds and shadows drift away
Today is the day you're finally okay

Nothing To Be Told
I turned into someone I wasn't meant to be
The deception I committed
He wasn't supposed to see
The action that was sinful
Became a part of me
There is nothing to be told
No honesty
I turned into something I wasn't meant to be
A monster was created
I can no longer sleep
The guilt twists it's way
No way to be free
There is nothing to be told
No honesty
I turned into everything I wasn't meant to be
Another created danger
A different part of me
A different face to show
Not the real thing
There...

Today I Am
Today I am
Closer to tears than smiles
Eventually someone will notice
It just might take awhile
Today I am
Closer to screaming than laughing
Eventually this will wear off
I just can't live in denial
Today I am
Closer to sad than happy
I thought this was over with
It can't be happening
Today I am
Closer to weakness than strength
I've held it for too long
It's not something I can beat
Today I am
Closer to my past than present
It's been locked up too long
It's to the point I can't hold it

It all seems so unreal
The memories that I have
The anger that I feel
Though, with that, I am glad
The deception you created
The cause of my attack
The reality that I hated
I am never going back
The bridge was set ablaze
And the pyre you stayed on
The fire burns everything away
I can finally move on
No need for communication
No longing to hear your voice
The pain I kept myself in
For all that nevermore
The memories that I have
The anger that I feel
Though, with that, I am glad
The deception you created
The cause of my attack
The reality that I hated
I am never going back
The bridge was set ablaze
And the pyre you stayed on
The fire burns everything away
I can finally move on
No need for communication
No longing to hear your voice
The pain I kept myself in
For all that nevermore

Pretender
Everyone says
There's more options than death
How do they think so?
They seem to not see
The pain sticks around
You can hardly breathe
It never goes away
Just gets pushed in the back of the mind
Waiting for the chance
To ruin the smile
A pretender knows how it works
How to fake a whole day through
Hiding everything that hurts
There's no point if they knew
They only let it out
if there's no one to see
Only way they'll be themselves
Is if people let them be
They plan in advance
How to commit suicide
No one seems to...

I Should Have
I should have known from the beginning
I should have known from the start
I should have known you'd be the one
I should have known you'd break my heart
I should have come up with a reason
I should have come up with an excuse
I should have come up with a way to keep from falling in love with you
I should have realized it wasn't real
I should have realized it wasn't true
I should have realized there was no way you'd be in love with me too
I should have realized things would change
I should have realized how you'd act
I should have known better...

Gone
As my childhood slipped away
It seemed part of me started to decay
Scary monsters that seemed the worst
Now I can only wish for their return
Life struck me with a gust of reality
Nothing was ever as bad as it had seemed
Darkness closed on me with a finality
Even I couldn't hear my own screams
Shadows clouded around my vision
Slowly, I lost the ability to see
I couldn't find my place in existence
I guess it was never meant to be
The darkness gave me the courage to end it
There was nothing more left of me
As I started the process of...

Iron bars of safety
Or really is it seclusion?
The world may never know
I'm trapped in this steel cage
Unable to be free and fly
Someone break me loose
Trick after trick I blunder upon
Can't see through this blindness
I don't want to be the blame
Stuck with despair and loneliness
The only company I keep
Nothing to escape
The me I fear within
Moves with anticipation
It is she I can't beat
Or really is it seclusion?
The world may never know
I'm trapped in this steel cage
Unable to be free and fly
Someone break me loose
Trick after trick I blunder upon
Can't see through this blindness
I don't want to be the blame
Stuck with despair and loneliness
The only company I keep
Nothing to escape
The me I fear within
Moves with anticipation
It is she I can't beat

Alone
After all these years I get my wish
How could I have known it would lead to loneliness?
I just wanted people to go away
I didn't want to deal with life itself
I didn't want to be stuck in this living hell
I'm still here
Just in a different place
I'd take back what I've said any day
I'd take back every wish on a star I've ever made
I just want to go back home
I'd rather not do this
Alone
All the people I've pushed away
All the hurtful decisions I've ever made
All the things I've acted upon
Everything I've done that was wrong...

"Let's be friends."
Yeah, that's easy
sure, I'll be friends with the man that beat me
So what?
You apologized
like that can make up for all your lies
everything you ever said
and every pain you inflicted
I can't forgive that
I won't even attempt it
you're just a piece of shit
everyone knows it
I thought I loved you at some point
thought you loved me too
I was stupid and naive
You were stupid too
How could I have put up with all your shit?
I will never know
every single slap
I can still feel
every single...

They didn't understand her intentions
these were things she never mentioned
just one day decided things weren't right
so she tried to end her life
well like plans always seem to do
they didn't stay the way she wanted them to
caught straight in the middle of her act
they saw things she couldn't take back
she was waiting for the curtain to close
they still wanted her in the show
she cried and begged
she just wanted to die while they were trying to save her life.
A few hours later in a hospital bed
she contemplated more ways to end up dead...

Just The Same
If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain
the way I feel about you is just the same
Am I dead or alive?
I ponder as I sigh
I know that I still love you just the same
I think about you daily, you don't even know
I won't even allow my pain to show
I'll smile past all the tears
even through my fears
I know that I still love you just the same
If you were happy, I'd say that I was too
I won't even say what I want to you
I'll just fake the whole way through
Hide my love from you
I know that I still love you just the same
...
