POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Blue rooms that breath
the room
is blue
one black door
one empty bed
it haunts me
it wants me
I elude it
for now
but its there
its always there
waiting for me
a room
a blue room
a black door
one empty bed
my bed
made for me
made from dreams
bad dreams
the blue room
the room
made from pain
made to contain
madness
infinite sadness
angst
depression
anger
doubt
they want out
they want me
I feel it
pulling me closer
to the room
wanting me

When home is a graveyard
this isn't supposed to be my life
I was your wife
we had a home, we had a dream
now i live a nightmare filled with my own screams
I should be home cooking dinner
instead I'm at a bar, looking a lot thinner
I should be home washing clothes
but i kneel at a grave, thinking about the day you proposed
I should be home making the bed
yet i sit under our favorite tree wishing i too was dead
I should be home waiting for you to get there
however I'm in my car smoking a joint, laughing with despair

Karma's bitch
Dear karma,
my name is nikkimoe and i believe you got the wrong person.
Ive compiled a short list of just a few things i believe i was unjustly punished for, please read and get back to me with your feelings on this matter,
I feed the homeless
my fridge breaks
I give change to the bums
I lose my debit card
I feed the stray cats
some random at the gas station calls me a pussy
I cut my neighbors lawn
some wild beast takes a giant crap on mine
I hold the door for the person behind me
the guy in front of me lets...

Yellow Ryder tuck
At the tender age of fifteen
i was given a choice
move
or stay
i was fifteen
I chose to stay
Moving meant to another state
staying meant being where i knew
no mother
no sister
just me
i made that choice in a child's mind
not knowing
my mother slowly packed up the house
everyday something was gone and into a box
this went on for a week or so
and then the yellow Ryder truck arrived
my life was getting packed away
I stood there watching
my mother asked me once more

When metal speaks and people ask stupid questions
tonight someone asked a question
profound in its own right
he asked "why did we destroy the world"
I rolled my eyes
i told him
it wasn't me and it wasn't you
it all started before our time
before our mothers time
it got bad when the TV was invented
the brainwash box
the true zombie maker
a box that tells us our supposed truths
a box which tells us of perpetual wars
and sadness
telling us we need brands
if you dont wear them
well then
you suck as a person
if you dont have the hair or...

Absurd truths
If I love it
its gone
if i detest it
its there forever
I stopped loving anything a long time ago
I began hating everything around me
disdain would take over my life
For if i should show anything the tiniest bit of love
It fades into nothingness
it ceases to exist
It Started with my favorite shirt
I loved that shirt
I was 14
it was blue
then pink
bleach
then it escalated
from a shirt to people
to pets to homes
to jobs to buildings
even food i loved somehow became tainted and tasteless
like life
while...

Whats mine is mine, whats yours is yours
I do not write for you,
interpret it any way you want
its not yours, its mine
it came from my soul
from my heart
from my tangled mind
it is not yours
nor will it ever be
my idea does not need to be fixed by you
then it ceases being mine
if i wanted to be graded
i would have taken creative writing in college
yet i studied the stars
i don't write for you
i write for me
these are my visions
in my head
penned by me
i choose when the I gets capitalized
not you
you don't live in my brain

Lightless
light does not shine through her window
nor does it beat upon her skin
light runs from her kind of darkness
stars refuse to twinkle if she looks to them
never born, yet she lives
somehow
barely
shadows at night
her only friends
yet the light,
which runs from her threatens to remove them
crepuscular, active only in the twilight
daylight teases her from afar
she blinks
and its gone again
dragging herself through this nightmare
she is complete
completely ...

But of course........
draped in shame
wanting to release myself
I hold back
nobody could handle it if i did
covered in lies
hoping for a truth
that does not exist
pummeled by fear
hiding in plain site
not wanting to be seen
ever
blasted by a fate that shouldn't be mine
haunted by time
clocks ticking in my face
seconds wasted
broken by design
an eternity spent walking thru my own mind
wanting to release myself
I hold back
nobody could handle it if i did
covered in lies
hoping for a truth
that does not exist
pummeled by fear
hiding in plain site
not wanting to be seen
ever
blasted by a fate that shouldn't be mine
haunted by time
clocks ticking in my face
seconds wasted
broken by design
an eternity spent walking thru my own mind

Reality in dreams
I should have know this wouldn't turn out well
he nicknamed me Desdemona, and said he was under my spell
i didn't even like him, at first
i think i sensed his curse
He was something i didn't need
but to a friendship i agreed
we went out here and there
and every time my gut was telling me to beware
then somehow it all got tangled up and lines had been crossed
and everything i thought i knew was lost
he was anger, i was sadness
together we gave birth to madness
He needed me i need him
then everything...

Sherri
she was the other one
the one you used for fun
she had all the frills
she gave you pills
she too was lost in a sea of opiates
and whatever other drugs seemed appropriate
she would text you day and night
you and i would always fight
i would fight for you to be sober
she would fight for you to come over
luring you with those pills
while i worked hard to pay all the bills
she told you love came in a bottle
so you went after that love full throttle
you were never...
