POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Lots of things don’t make sense. I’m things :)
I Hate It Here
It is so frustrating
When I get a small scrape
Or red mark
On my arm
And my mind immediately goes to self harm
And I need to sit down
And breathe my way out of it
And everyone looks at me like I’m crazy
I don’t want to think this way
But I have to
Because I’m stuck with it
When I get a small scrape
Or red mark
On my arm
And my mind immediately goes to self harm
And I need to sit down
And breathe my way out of it
And everyone looks at me like I’m crazy
I don’t want to think this way
But I have to
Because I’m stuck with it

Spring Cleaning
A bright moment
In the stagnant darkness
You walk in
Holding my hair up
As I throw up all of the dirt
In my lungs
Giving me permanent smile lines
By making me laugh
Instead of clipping up my lips
Hoping to see my teeth
Stealing my tears
And using them to water
The vines and flowers
Sprouting from my heart
You gave me life
When I couldn’t myself
In the stagnant darkness
You walk in
Holding my hair up
As I throw up all of the dirt
In my lungs
Giving me permanent smile lines
By making me laugh
Instead of clipping up my lips
Hoping to see my teeth
Stealing my tears
And using them to water
The vines and flowers
Sprouting from my heart
You gave me life
When I couldn’t myself

I Love Being
I’m happy to be here
Even when I’m exhausted
I’m grateful to have all that I have
Even when I complain
I’m confident in myself
Even when my body distorts in the mirror
I’m in control of my life
Even when things seem out of reach
God
I am so thankful to be alive
Even when I’m exhausted
I’m grateful to have all that I have
Even when I complain
I’m confident in myself
Even when my body distorts in the mirror
I’m in control of my life
Even when things seem out of reach
God
I am so thankful to be alive

My Inner Dialogue
Okay.
Just get up
Just go to the bathroom
Just take a shower
Just eat breakfast
Just sit on the couch
Just watch TV
It’s going to be okay.

Right Now
Do you ever just want to run away?
Leave your old life behind
Not contact
Your family
Your friends
Meet new people
Make your own money
Live how you want to live
Leave your old life behind
Not contact
Your family
Your friends
Meet new people
Make your own money
Live how you want to live

Fight or Flight
I saw you
I wanted to run
But instead
I walked right past you
With my head held high
I’m taking my power back bitch.

I Have To See You Tomorrow
You need to get out of my head
I am haunted
By you
In my nightmares
I’m trying to be strong
To not be scared
But you are still there
I am haunted
By you
In my nightmares
I’m trying to be strong
To not be scared
But you are still there

Pretend
If I turn up my music
And I close my eyes
It’s not real
None of it is real.
And I close my eyes
It’s not real
None of it is real.

Try Me
Try.
Try to push me down.
Try to crush me under your boot.
I’ll stare at you with fire in my eyes
Until you realize
I will burn
I will burn so bright
No one will be able to ignore me
I will light the fire
It’s time for me to be the green fucking fire
Try to push me down.
Try to crush me under your boot.
I’ll stare at you with fire in my eyes
Until you realize
I will burn
I will burn so bright
No one will be able to ignore me
I will light the fire
It’s time for me to be the green fucking fire

I Will Be Seen
I feel so defeated
But I can't go down
You ruined so much for me
So l'll keep balancing these water buckets
On my shoulders
As I climb up the mountain
Because I will not let you, of all people, win.
But I can't go down
You ruined so much for me
So l'll keep balancing these water buckets
On my shoulders

Don’t You Dare
I think I am tired
From all the standing up
I have a headache
My eyes are puffy
My throat is sore
But I’m not letting you drag me down again.
