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
New Breed
I'm like chocolate
sugary and unhealthy
The thought of me is sweet
but death from me comes stealthily
if you taste too much
you might even belch from me
I'm a pretty picture now, but burning flesh to be.
The world is happily corrupted
so by aliens they're abducted
shoving probes up their asses
and shutting their mouths with duct-tape
I come real smooth
Flawless is my victory
What you call a miracle,
is nothing but a trick for me
Um.........
It's the simplicity that thrills me
This void is what filled me...

I'm Addicted
I will do anything to get it
I would lose a limb
or even a kidney for it
I would do it
Hard as it is,
I admit to being addicted
But I'm not trying to quit,
because it's my life
What I live for
It's why I'm still here
It's what keeps me going
I would lose a limb
or even a kidney for it
I would do it
Hard as it is,
I admit to being addicted
But I'm not trying to quit,
because it's my life
What I live for
It's why I'm still here
It's what keeps me going

Alone in life, and yet still fighting on
Moving forward after everyone’s gone
Bowing your head against the pain
Feeling the last of your energy drain
Holding back the urge to scream
Hoping it just a terrible dream
Looking around for someone to hold
To help you out of this terrible cold
You wake in your bed shaking in fear
You look around but no one is here
Back in the present, but it’s all come true
Your family is gone, all because of you.

That Girl
Beautiful
with the curly hair you despise
and your smile lights the room
and your laugh is so cute!
Your eyes are sad, but I can tell
when we're together, you don't feel so bad
And I remember that bracelet you had
You gave it and said it was to make sure
we'd see each other again, you'd get it back then
And every time I touched your hand you touched mine
Every single time you tell me how pretty I am
But I'm so shy, or else I'd tell you I'm not
But you're so convincing in the moment,
and when I'm around you I almost feel worth something...

F*You Get a Life and Die
To all those insecure cunts
who told me how fat I was,
FUCK YOU
To all those losers who jumped me,
GET A LIFE
And to all the fakes who pushed me down to bow
DIE
who told me how fat I was,
FUCK YOU
To all those losers who jumped me,
GET A LIFE
And to all the fakes who pushed me down to bow
DIE

Don't Touch
You're an untouchable
Off limits is the term
No matter how hard you cry
I can't love you
And no matter if I'm like your sister
I can't touch you
I can't have you
I can't want you
Off limits is the term
No matter how hard you cry
I can't love you
And no matter if I'm like your sister
I can't touch you
I can't have you
I can't want you

Short Loved
There's a person on the left
A person on the right
Can I love them both
Do I have to fight
It's so hard to hold myself together
when they're both pulling me apart
I can't take the pain
I can't be in the middle
I'm so ashamed
Why can't one person be enough
Why can't I accept just one person's love
I need both
Him and her
I need to take all I can and keep it close
I'm so greedy and needy
How shameful
How wrong
When it comes to love I can not stay strong
Whenever I'm in love, it doesn't last long
A person on the right
Can I love them both
Do I have to fight
It's so hard to hold myself together
when they're both pulling me apart
I can't take the pain
I can't be in the middle
I'm so ashamed
Why can't one person be enough
Why can't I accept just one person's love
I need both
Him and her
I need to take all I can and keep it close
I'm so greedy and needy
How shameful
How wrong
When it comes to love I can not stay strong
Whenever I'm in love, it doesn't last long

Gone
Eyelids are heavy
the world is screaming
Am I dreaming?
So fast
So slow
Catch me if I fall
I can't walk at all
Am I talking?
Am I thinking?
I feel like a heavy burden,
just laying there
So gone
So lost
Life is so dark
It's so bright
The lights are blurs
My words are slurs
I can't stand,
but can you understand me?
I'm gone
I'm so lost
the world is screaming
Am I dreaming?
So fast
So slow
Catch me if I fall
I can't walk at all

I feel like a heavy burden,
just laying there
So gone
So lost
Life is so dark
It's so bright
The lights are blurs
My words are slurs
I can't stand,
but can you understand me?
I'm gone
I'm so lost

Rid It
Peel it off
like a sunburn
Burn it off
like a tick
It's a leach
Rip it off,
it makes you sick
Don't let it change you
Don't let it drain you
You're emotional
suck it up
Oh, again?
You fucked it up
Filthy filth,
don't you want
to kill yourself?
Roll a joint
smoke it all,
and in that
hazy world you fall
Is that all?
That's it?
To throw your fits
doesn't sit
We all know you're
full of shit
Lie some more
Be a whore
Cry cry cry baby,
you're...

Burn it off

Our Empty Place
It's a desolate place
between my world
and yours
No people here,
just traces from
the past
where others' feet had
made a path,
leaving behind
a hair clip or poem
We crawl into the empty spaces
trying to figure out these
mysterious places
Dreaming it would last,
time is too fast
Thorns in our shoes,
dirt under our nails,
we take a bit of
this empty space
where no one lives
We leave our mysterious place.

Blue Butterfly
I'm blue
I'm brittle
and dead
I'm hanging in a frame
above the head of your bed
I'm impaled with a fine pin
And near your flower beds I used to live
Your daughter, she would watch me,
and be a kid
Then one day you read of a new hobby
In the lobby, waiting for your appointment
You remembered your boss was a fan
So you thought the relating of fun,
would go hand in hand
Here I am, just for some kind of proof
for some person who fired you,
because you refused to lie
And for all of that, I had to die
I suppose my death has...
