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

That's How
You're scared,
running away
All you can smell is the burning
All you can hear is the agony
Your feet are fast,
cut up with the glass of chaos
Everything, everyone you love
is lost
What was the price?
What was the cost?
Now there's blood.
Blood on your feet and your face
Your murderous hands are a disgrace
"chop chop chop" you hear in your head
The way you killed your family
as they lay in their beds
Slam! Shatter! Glass, that's how it happened,
that's why you're running so fast.
Authority doesn't...

Let it
Think I need stitches,
but I don't care
It's okay.
Let it.
Drip drip drip
Let it fall
like a dark, red, rain
Let it.
Drip drip drip
It's okay
Just let the pain fall away...
but I don't care
It's okay.
Let it.
Drip drip drip
Let it fall
like a dark, red, rain
Let it.
Drip drip drip
It's okay
Just let the pain fall away...

crumbs
Feels as if I'm doing it again
Picking at the small crumbs and pieces
Time passes without notice
While picking
Losing my mind in a
Slow, dull, numb-minded
Part in my life
A worthless little speck on the map
A book of sad, lonely, whiny, cliche bullshit
Am I alone though
Feeling like fucking
Jekyl and Hyde
Lose time and focus
Lost in a confusion of parallel worlds
Don't know which one is real
Picking at the small crumbs and pieces
Time passes without notice
While picking
Losing my mind in a
Slow, dull, numb-minded
Part in my life
A worthless little speck on the map
A book of sad, lonely, whiny, cliche bullshit
Am I alone though
Feeling like fucking
Jekyl and Hyde
Lose time and focus
Lost in a confusion of parallel worlds
Don't know which one is real

Cliche
I want to write some cliche shit
About how I feel,
Because no matter how cliche; the pain is real
So here it goes I suppose....
I'm a rotten person
We're all rotten people
We're all filled with evil
I am crushed
I am dust
Unfortunately, no more us
All alone, inside our heads
Who knows if we're still thinking when we're dead
We know it all; at least we think
But we know nothing, nothing, nothing
Thinking things like
Love is real, I need money, need a car, need food so we won't starve
All in or mind, all in our...

True Love
Is it real?
Is it to use?
To love it,is only to abuse it
Everyone is telling you to change
But the Substance will still "love" you,
if you stay the same
the same as you are
Requires no changer
Just that you invest your time into it
Just that you put all that is you into it
Then you are the slave
This is true love
Is it to use?
To love it,is only to abuse it
Everyone is telling you to change
But the Substance will still "love" you,
if you stay the same
the same as you are
Requires no changer
Just that you invest your time into it
Just that you put all that is you into it
Then you are the slave
This is true love

covers
Body was a shell
Empty, hollow
Rancid with hate
Running on inane logic
Not happy
blind
cannot tolerate the pernicious life
Live fast
Love lots
Do drugs
Die young
Forever beautiful
Empty, hollow
Rancid with hate
Running on inane logic

Pain
No matter that you close your eyes
You can still feel the pain
Because you can shut it away
You can run from it
But you can't lose it
totally and completely
It will always follow you
Always be there reminding you
What you have become
How it will someday take you whole
We fight it with pills
With therapy
But the darkness is always there
The pain is permanent
You can still feel the pain
Because you can shut it away
You can run from it
But you can't lose it
totally and completely
It will always follow you
Always be there reminding you
What you have become
How it will someday take you whole
We fight it with pills
With therapy
But the darkness is always there
The pain is permanent

Unself
How it feels like to be
someone you are not
To know you are different
on the inside
But nobody sees you
You say everyday
I'm tired of being fake
Too afraid of the world
to know the truth
because they might not believe you
because they might not even hear you
You are quiet
scared
Don't know what to do,
but continue wishing you were you
someone you are not
To know you are different
on the inside
But nobody sees you
You say everyday
I'm tired of being fake
Too afraid of the world
to know the truth
because they might not believe you
because they might not even hear you
You are quiet
scared
Don't know what to do,
but continue wishing you were you

The Devil
Whispers in my ear
What is wrong, what is right
Telling me not to fight it
I don't have to be so close minded
Confused, don't know what to do
Whispers in my ear
Telling me to choose
Always follows me, guides me, fights me
Untill I choose, it follows
I believe in God
I believe in Jesus
I believe in the Devil
What do I do
I cannot hear you, I feel you
Telling me things, horrible things
I don't need your love
I need your word
Why would I do your works
When I don't hear a word
Oh, but girl you hear me no?...
What is wrong, what is right
Telling me not to fight it
I don't have to be so close minded
Confused, don't know what to do
Whispers in my ear
Telling me to choose
Always follows me, guides me, fights me
Untill I choose, it follows
I believe in God
I believe in Jesus
I believe in the Devil
What do I do
I cannot hear you, I feel you
Telling me things, horrible things
I don't need your love

I'm Kind of Stupid...
Sometimes
when I can't write anything
or there's nothing to do
I read back on my poems
And I realize how stupid
I sound sometimes
But that's okay,
because then I can just delete them...
or fix them...
or totally ignore the fact that I wrote
the stupid thing altogether
But then I think, and get stuck on
how stupid I sound
And it's extremely hard to ignore that
because I get so damn worried of what
people will think
And I worry about the way people will respond
to the stupid things I write...
Then people sometimes don't...

Selfish
I'm kind of broken down
Heavy draggin' myself around
It's hard to get up these days
to pretend to care what's goin' on
to pretend and act like I'm strong
I am the shoulders people cry on
the strong person people rely on
Yet I am so weak
I am carying around not just my pain,
but everyone elses
I feel so selfish,
but I'm so tired
Am I selfish to be tired?
Can I give up yet?
No, because I've got to get up,
I've got to be there for everyone
Though I don't know what to do
for someone when they're crying
I just know that...

Only You
In that small moment with you
I felt like more than an
insignificant piece of shit
I felt....
happy and content
Happy for the first time
in years
And I honestly fear this
I fear falling in love with you more
will just cause me greater pain
when I lose you than there would have
been had I never met you
And I have this fear of hurting you
but, when I'm with you
It all goes away like
a bad thought bubble popped
and the smoke is gone and
I can see only you
I felt like more than an
insignificant piece of shit
I felt....
happy and content
Happy for the first time
in years
And I honestly fear this
I fear falling in love with you more
will just cause me greater pain
when I lose you than there would have
been had I never met you
And I have this fear of hurting you
but, when I'm with you
It all goes away like
a bad thought bubble popped
and the smoke is gone and
I can see only you
