POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I try to write but then I go back and read what I wrote and realize I kind of suck. I'm really not as smart as I thought
Starving
It replays in her head
every night.
She was ripped of her
childhood and innocence.
Violated by the sin of another.
A man's lust,
committing a sick scene.
Again, and again,
she goes back into time,
a four year old child.
A sensation meant to feel beautiful,
now feels cold, dark and painful.
Hiding insider her mind,
all to herself,
all alone.
She cannot sleep.
How can she when it was the same room she became trapped.
Becoming a woman, inside, still a girl.
Scared and alone.
She guilts when finding pleasure in her...
every night.

I Am Many
Half awake
everything is happening in front of me
I am not there. I am a ghost. I am.. dead?
I am lost in my head, swimming around.
Words from my surrounding only cloud
my aura.
In here, I am alone. I am me, where no one can see me.
My thoughts are my own, my mind is my own.
No, my mind is being controlled.
They have their clawing hands wrapped tight,
pulling me into their world, where they know safety will cease.
I am lost, the whispers control me, my name is used with violent temptation.
Finally, I am unaware of who I was, am, and ever...

Writing Mysteries
No one can understand any ones mind, not fully.
We write these words to heal our souls,
although you know we will never feel the
full sorrow or joy you feel, we will
never understand. I believe words alone
cannot convey our feeling that flood
into our scribbles of thought.
We are the ones that share our
soul, we put the blood of our spirit
into words, into what we write.
Still we remain mysterious,
only our corners exposed.

My Enemy
Tattered flesh.
Stinging skin shredded.
With hate, bleeding.
Killing my enemy.
I am my enemy.

With hate, bleeding.
Killing my enemy.

I Cannot Lie To Myself
I cannot lie to myself.
I really want to die.
I also need help with that.
The desire to put myself on fire.
To cut my neck, with knife or noose.
To drink bleach or poison,
to swallow pills.
Or anger the mafia with drug bills.
Snitch or kill, drive a car down a hill.
A river, bombs, samurai style.
Wow, my mind is going wild.

Sooooooo Baked
Waves in my head,
flowing, fluid life.
Eyelids heavy,
the sensation of connecting
with earth, with music, and
the spirits of the world.
Asleep, dream like, and beautiful.
The colors, beautiful.
Relief exploding from the
top of my head
Time is slow and has
almost stopped.

Too Much
Smoking the stuff
swallowing the pill dry.
Up up and away.
Laughing, a puppet
to my demons.
Scared. Dying.
High, unreal, not here.
Reality checks.
Slaps in the face.
Trying to swallow the truth.
Jagged glass pieces in my brain.
Almost impossible to refrain,
sadly, I know I will do this again.

Belong?
I wanted to have
dreams when I
slept.
I wanted to go
to college.
I wanted to be me
and not them.
Now, I don't want
to dream, to eat,
to sleep, to breathe.
Maybe I'm depressed.
Maybe it's a phase,
a phase I have had
for more than three
thousand days.
If that's the case,
then I wish someone
would show me my place,
where I belong,
if I belong at all.

Beginning.Middle.End
My poems start as nothing.
As one word meaning nothing.
It means nothing.
The middle, they mean everything.
Everything I know.
Everything I feel.
In the end,
all I know,
all I feel,
and me,
is dead.

Freak
You say you know me
and you tell me who I am.
I am a fool, a fat, disgusting,
stupid person.
And I believe you
because you "took me in."
You wouldn't let me go.
For nine fucking years,
you tortured my soul.
And now I can't even
be normal because I
was innocent and brainwashed
and turned into an
ugly beast. I am fungus
growing under a rock
I am leprosy, a pariah.
A Freak.

Just Dead
I was just
trapped.
I was just
tired.
I was just
depressed.
I was alive, now I am
dead.
Dead, I am dead,
the words
circle somewhere
in my head.
Floating, leaving me.
My soul is filled
with
fear.
Regret cuts me
like knifes,
like the razors
I used to end it.
My life is over.
I am
...
trapped.
I was just
tired.

depressed.
I was alive, now I am
dead.
