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
Without Unreasonable Guilt
Alone because we had no choice
Quiet because we had no voice
Stuck in hell, raised a demon
To become a better person
We had no reason
Trapped in a house
We took the pain
Only hidden flow in rain
Our sacrifice was our gain
All so lost, we're not to blame
We are different
That simple knowledge is the flame
We can change if we'd like
Can be higher from were we came
We don't have a stagnant life or mind
Contradictions in philosphy need not be a divider
If they could see, we are fighters
By nature we defend, we protect
It's...

Asleepin'
It's like a dream all the time
It's like being here, where I was in the beginning
It's like a dream because I'm winning
I'm losing to my memory
Losing vision of the rythm
It's like a new beginning
Close to forgetting how to finish
It's like a dream because I'm sleepy
Kind of fucking awkward, kind of fucking creepy
I can shut my eyes, I can hear the day
But I rather fight the sleep
I rather carry the heat
It doesn't matter, put the blame on me
Because it feels like I'm asleep
It's like being here, where I was in the beginning
It's like a dream because I'm winning
I'm losing to my memory
Losing vision of the rythm
It's like a new beginning
Close to forgetting how to finish
It's like a dream because I'm sleepy
Kind of fucking awkward, kind of fucking creepy
I can shut my eyes, I can hear the day
But I rather fight the sleep
I rather carry the heat
It doesn't matter, put the blame on me
Because it feels like I'm asleep

Huh?
I feared everything
Try it, don't care
Don't think just go
One more crazy thing to do
If they survived,I will too
The music, louder than usual
I'm like in the mirror
Where have you gone
Honestly, who are you
I forgot, but I think I'm having fun
Fuck it, I'm young
1 hit, 1 shot, 1 rail
2, 3...wait... giggle
Who's counting this shit
I worry too much
Maybe, I hope I can learn to forget to think
I'm thinking no matter how much I'm drinking
Want lose my mind for real
Try it, don't care
Don't think just go
One more crazy thing to do
If they survived,I will too
The music, louder than usual
I'm like in the mirror
Where have you gone
Honestly, who are you
I forgot, but I think I'm having fun
Fuck it, I'm young
1 hit, 1 shot, 1 rail
2, 3...wait... giggle
Who's counting this shit
I worry too much
Maybe, I hope I can learn to forget to think
I'm thinking no matter how much I'm drinking
Want lose my mind for real

Had That
Oh man
My face, my face
What could have been the prime
Now a splotchy disgrace
gave it all up,
while denying I'd gone to that place
Now they'll say
"What a waste, what a waste.
she had an alright face"
Oh man
The days, the days
All that time spent floating in haze
Then they'll say
"She seemed alright, she seemed okay.
Never thought she was in that place"
Oh man
What a waste, what a waste
My face, my face
What could have been the prime
Now a splotchy disgrace
gave it all up,

Now they'll say
"What a waste, what a waste.
she had an alright face"
Oh man

All that time spent floating in haze
Then they'll say
"She seemed alright, she seemed okay.
Never thought she was in that place"
Oh man
What a waste, what a waste

Shot caller
Hustler, keep your mind on your riches
The golden life
Live it everday
But don't think I ever understood
It's all money, power, satisfaction?
I don't know
Isn't it stressful though?
Is it the lie I think it is?
Always got to watch your back
Isn't it a lonely sorrow?
Can't really borrow, can't ever lend
Just making it just to spend your life with a gun on your lap
Even a homie could turn his back
Because that's were they're all at
Just everyone watching they own back
Who am I to judge that life
I'm just saying ...

MarblesSense
Appear so calm
Talking so softly
Seems like walking on rocks
But really sinking sand
Soft cheeky meek
Why's it always got to sneak
Underneath the veneer
Picking up a too many lost marbles
Think it's mad
But it's just catching up
Temporary retard
Wish English spoke words made sense
But only gets offended
Thought it kind of smart
Thought it kind of special
Didn't know judgement was the main issue
Sticky dry eyes
Always have to pry
Trying to read fucking minds
because it's sure they all lie...

Bleeding
Just want to give myself
a little slice
Because bleeding
my red paradise
Lay out in a field of flowers
Growing weaker by the hour
Feel my soul drift away
My body empty but it'd be okay
Leave no trail
I'd want to dissapear
Maybe I was never here
If I could just leave it all on paper
Maybe someone then could know me later
I feel fine, I feel okay
Just want to bleed in my field of flowers
There is no pain here, no desperation
Just a desire I do not understand
I am just feeling this today

Glitter
Feel hot on my toes
Feel cold in my hands
The room is all smoke
That has formed in a man
My mind has gone off
In some far distant land
Forgot who I was
This what not in my plans
Who would have thought I would be where I am
How could I know I would fall for the dope
It's been all around since I was a kid
Would there have been any hope had I ran
This song stuck in my throat
Push it out but I keep
breaking the notes
Wish I was as strong...

It's Funny Sometimes Because I'm Not Sure Cut Short
It sparkling
cathing my eye like glitter dust
Hypnotizing me silently sly
My lips tremple
Tears slide down my face
The salt burns it crystalizes on my skin
It fell in a moment
All that lost in a blackhole of carpet
Where it all was was gone
I knew I was lost forever
in this spiral to the self medicated heavens
I knew I was gone
I deny myself a truth
I do not dive deeper into myself
Chore of thoughts of jesus, meaning of life, gay rights ect. incomplete
Ahhh I'm done...

Diary, I Need An Epiphany
Am I alone?
AM I alone?
I can't be
There's no way
Am I alone, though?
I always think we are all the same
We all are different
Different, same?
Without sameness is like without empathy
But even with that I do not disregard individuality
If we really listen to every detail, tone and expression
Is it really possible to insert ourselves into another state of mind?
Is it a dellusion simply fueled by our own experiances?
Can we feel it?
Are in you in here?
From this volatile heart
Do you feel what I am saying?
I don't know why...

Diary, I Think I'm Feeling
I didn't like how it felt
Crying because I got frustrated
I am afraid to be angry
I don't want to feel that feeling
So heavy weighing me down
Brings me so low I fall into the darkness
I can't control it when it has happened
It's been a while since I felt emotion
It would get so intense
Fire in my heart, smoldering
What if I lose control
I'm starting to feel a little something
I know what's going to happen
I'm going to be angry at everything and everyone
I'm going to hurt people
I'm going to feel like shit
I hate who I am when...

I'll Probably Quit Eventually
Got to get away from it
Some way
Somehow
But stuck in the same pain
The same drugs
Same crowds
Start off
Cut the chords
Righ here
Right now
Can't innitiate the change
Got to ask for help
Want to stay on this ride
Can't let go of pride
Still here
Still around
Handling the episodes
Somehow
Life's so real
But feels so dreamy
Tried talking
But they don't believe me
A ghost
They don't seem to see
Just barely of
What I used to be
Someday
The mask's going...
