POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Its a blind eye's sight into the darkness that's light, the snow on a warm summer day, the work that secretly plays, the lost that shall never find; the unknowns of a thoughtless mind.

Dress
Trendy styles captivate the eyes
Appealing to creativity
Sashaying in the wind
Creases and indentaions
Trap us like prisoners
Within their unique folds
Forcing our hand
Overpowering our mind
Turning us into zombies of their intricate lines
Cuts away at our layers one seam at a time
Pins and needless to hold it in place
Thorns in our side, hell bent on capturing that style
Tagged like animals, to be survalenced
Watchful eye from their creator
Traveling back in time
We are all slaves again

Paradise
They say joy is found in a magical place
Called the land of the free and the home of the brave
But i live in this country so does that make me a slave
Bound to sorrows with no proof of tomorrow
With a rigid lifestyle strangers call paradise
But this place is full of nothing but parasites
Zombies with no life
Robots with controlled minds
With pre-empted words to recite
They are smart here, they clip your wings
So you cannot take flight
Steal your courage so you no longer can fight
This place that everyone thinks is serene
Is the grave...

K.O
Look me in the mirror
Chest rise and fall
Breathing rhythmic
Slow motion, emotionless
Depressed and repressed
With a hint of deception
She has an entire future ahead
But no aspirations
No dreams and no final destinations
Frustration numbs her brain
As she's battling with the thought
That she was meant to be something great
But maybe her something great
Is just something fake
She has so much fire and passion
But going fast no place
But she statically vibrates in space
Molecules continue to resonate
She's stuck in...

Wounded Planet (inspired by chessa's poem :here on earth)
Earth is a real sinister place
Everyone wants to have power but no one wants to have a face
To face the society they helped create
Oh what a wonderful world it would be
If this earth wasnt our reality
But it is and there is nothing we can do
They pretend we have voices
But we're nothing but functional mutes
Rendered speechless and blind
Constantly left behind
Oh how wonderful this earth could be
If the word freedom actually meant free
But repetitively we are hung from a leash
And controlled on a planet stage
By our puppeteers who...

Pretty Girl Smile
Pretty girl smile
Distant addition to my thinning bloodline
Confidence deeply hidden near the surface to find
Pretty girl hold your chin up, pretty girl smile
Complexity of a rubik's cube
With no guidlines to solve
Problems stemming far and wide
Yet you rise above them all
Pretty girl flaunt that pretty girl swag
Pretty girl model that pretty girl smile
Heart tastes like marshmallows
Because she's so soft on the inside
Halloween year round, always trying to wear a disguise
But I can still see you through your flickering eyes ...

Intrigued
Fresh out the womb
With breast milk on his breath
This baby faced superhero
Who i have yet to regret
This infant manages to stand 5"7' tall
Master ahead of his time walked before he crawled
This engager of time controlled the conversation
By youth alone i would surely displace him
But like an emperor in gold
He captured the room
Based on looks alone
The fear has me fooled
But he grabbed me by the mind
And captivated me
What a pleasant surprise

Beat-less
When you say i love you
Do you really mean it
Because im starting to
Feel like its not true
Your actions sometimes
don't mirror or words
And your reflection
Is becoming invisible
I presented my heart once
No you didn't break it
Nor did you drop it
But in a cold blink of an eye
You manage to have forgotten it
Leaving it behind
I poured my love into it
Yet you remembered the persons heart
Who shatters yours
Tearing your whole world apart
I guess you have to treat you like shit
To be remembered...

SILENCE
Its the devil who holds us back
The masters they say
But Is it any different than the way
My people treat me today
Than when they took trees
And decorated them with slaves
Yet they claim that they paved
The golden way
For our skin color today
Portraying themselves
As the knight in shining armour
That put an end to that racist karma
Yet the drama we still live
Over and over again
From educated folks
Who refuse to use the ink in their pens
But then pretend
Like they need to be emancipated again
When they mute...

Mathematically
They say x+y equals a brilliant mind
But where in this contract did it say to sign
Away my life to the seed of sin
Informally known to me as depression
Day in and day out my conscious mind roams about
Unconsciously aiming to discover
What everyone claims is life's true purpose to be uncovered
But funny thing is they have yet themselves to find
This myserious existence of the purest mind
But their advice to me is face the world head on
When the world has turned its back toward me
While society flees from the monster which they created in me...

NIGHT
In the still of the night
I glare at the vacant sky
Counting the starts
As though moments in my life
Blanket the air
Warming the stiffness of the moonlight
The puff of Gods breath
Caresses my ear
As I convince myself
Someones presence is near
But is it fair to assume
That my shadow is there
Its hidden from my sight
Trembles in fear at the thoughts
Trapped in my mind
Such noxious truths
Smothered in lies
As emotions attempt to confide
In the dark corners of my eye
Only to get lost in the salts
Expelled when...

Confused
Like two fish bowls
Of murky water
I stare into your eyes
That angel of disguise
I used to love
But now despise
Because your tongue
Like two knives
Slice through the truth
With nothing but lies
Yet you cry like youre the victim
Like you are laying dead with them
But you're hate's gate keeper
Emotion's grim reaper
That snake in the grass
Bottomless feeder
Frowned upon all because
You convinced yourself you need her
That you freed her
So you plead to her
Got on your knees to her
But she was never...

MAXED OUT
This about my limit
I've just topped up
Both of you are doing shit
Ya'll really need to Stop
This push and pull and this merry go round
Spewing your toxic waste
Skin slowly seeps off your face
Displaced identities
I'm convinced ya'll are trying to be the death of me
You know exactly what you want
Yet you remain present
To witness the taunt
So clearly you have no clue what the fuck you want
But yet youre standing nearby
Close enough to still cry
Claiming you no longer yearn
Yet still close enough to get 3rd degree burns ...
