POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Do I exist? That is hard to say, When nobody looks your way.
Behavior
This length of flesh
Shoved into a hole
Made for excretion
Moans of joy
Forced out
This unsightly, disgraceful
Behavior exposed
The civilized words
Of a human forgotten
Smeared with beastly
Pleasure
So noble, my sovereign
Aah, how very
Beautiful
Shoved into a hole
Made for excretion
Moans of joy
Forced out
This unsightly, disgraceful
Behavior exposed
The civilized words
Of a human forgotten
Smeared with beastly
Pleasure
So noble, my sovereign
Aah, how very
Beautiful

scared, scared, no happy endings
Suicide is a sin
Cringe at the thought
Again rewritten
Rawr you have been caught
Endagered grin
Death has been shot
Syrupy streaks so sweet
Cut up memory
Alive with defeat
Reading the story
Ending in deciet
Defiant theory
There are no happy endings
Cringe at the thought

Rawr you have been caught
Endagered grin
Death has been shot
Syrupy streaks so sweet

Alive with defeat
Reading the story
Ending in deciet

Just Fine This Way
I walk a tightrope, that's bringing me in.
I've got to let go, before it drags me in.
I never seem to feel like I'm even moving.
I stand very still, but they still see.
Standing in this cold, I know they feel me.
I can't escape no matter how fast I go.
There's a cage inside, it builds me up.
I'm so high, I can see my world crumble.
And these walls now trap me in.
I know that I'm sinking, but I won't drown.
Tears are for suckers, and I ain't a clown.
I won't be trapped by delusions no more.
So what if I can't feel? Does it...

Hello
I looked inside the tiny iron cage
That held a lonesome singing bird
It cried of hatred, dread, and rage
But they were only what the bird heard
It didn't know these emotions
Nor did it know any at all
It was far too worried, too cautious
It wouldn't leave so it wouldn't fall
It loved it's cage made of iron
It loved it's knowledge, it's small world
Because it couldn't hear the sirens
That told it, it was not a bird, but a girl
A girl who didn't know anything
Who only knew the feeling of herself alone
So she craved for...

I'm Looking For
And they say,
"You're simply not the same."
"You're not the one I met."
But isn't that life? Live and forget.
No I'm not the girl,
You're looking for in this world.
I'm different now, not the same,
So it doesn't matter what you say.
And I say, I'd like to forget,
Those who pull me down, the ones I've just met.
This is my world.
This is the girl,
I'm looking for.
"You're simply not the same."
"You're not the one I met."
But isn't that life? Live and forget.
No I'm not the girl,

And I say, I'd like to forget,
Those who pull me down, the ones I've just met.
This is my world.
This is the girl,
I'm looking for.

Deserve
They walk along in night's mystery
Her shadows at a different degree
Because she's not walking in their line
No, she's stupidly trailing behind
Her foot steps don't make a sound
They tend forget she's around
Not over their laughs and their jokes
As she sits and silently chokes
She opens her failing mouth
And words forget to tumble out
It's like she doesn't have the letters
To make herself feel better
But even as she shoots at the clock
The hour hand gives a silent tock
She can't persist, the minutes beckon
She's only...
Her shadows at a different degree
Because she's not walking in their line
No, she's stupidly trailing behind
Her foot steps don't make a sound
They tend forget she's around
Not over their laughs and their jokes
As she sits and silently chokes
She opens her failing mouth
And words forget to tumble out
It's like she doesn't have the letters
To make herself feel better
But even as she shoots at the clock
The hour hand gives a silent tock
She can't persist, the minutes beckon
She's only...

Young Love
I never thought I would be caught
Staring at sidewalks
Covering my drag marks
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Dead leaves on the ground
Leave or the streets will beat you down
Kindlings like 'till death do we part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
Now we haunt the dark
Paper faces flood the streets
But we won't go down in defeat
A morbid painting on display
The sky is black in lead filled rain
Look at how young love dies
Buried at each other's side
Staring at sidewalks
Covering my drag marks
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Dead leaves on the ground
Leave or the streets will beat you down
Kindlings like 'till death do we part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
Now we haunt the dark
Paper faces flood the streets
But we won't go down in defeat
A morbid painting on display
The sky is black in lead filled rain
Look at how young love dies
Buried at each other's side

Missing
As I walk alone
I can't tell
who's missing
Is it me or you?
Losing your hand
Your touch
Is disappearing
From my skin
Maybe I won't
Find the answers
If I keep this up
Talking to myself
As I walk alone
Missing someone
Who's missing
From my side
I can't tell
who's missing
Is it me or you?
Losing your hand
Your touch
Is disappearing
From my skin
Maybe I won't
Find the answers
If I keep this up
Talking to myself
As I walk alone
Missing someone
Who's missing
From my side

All We've Boiled Down To
Sin swallows the enemy
Killed through an open door
Fickle and lost in tragedy
Fires burning beneath the floor
Maybe the moon is back again
To take hold and rip the skin
Time slows and soon suspends
There is nothing to hide in
Riddled with words bursting down
No one dares to see inside
Listening to demons drown
Drown in laughter as we hide
Because we can't out run
Because they're always there
Weeping tears, there is no sun
Nothing to fix the stale air
Be still and suffocate
Don't fear what you can't see...

Glass Streets
Down so deep
Questions obsolete
I'm incomplete
No glass street
High on the casket
A mystery basket
Full of acid
To melt this habit

To Me
I'm so numb, so numb inside,
That I can't feel you there anymore.
I can't run, I can't hide.
Don't know what the future has in store.
I mustn't weep.
I mustn't sleep.
I must fall deep.
I must kill the sheep.
Inside of me.
Before I can be.
All that is true to me.
Don't pull me under,
I am content here.
Running from thunder,
I'm breathing stale air.
I shouldn't feel.
I shouldn't heal.
I should peel.
I should deal.
Before it gets to me.
Too deep to be.
Removed from all that is true to me.
That I can't feel you there anymore.
I can't run, I can't hide.
Don't know what the future has in store.
I mustn't weep.
I mustn't sleep.
I must fall deep.
I must kill the sheep.
Inside of me.
Before I can be.
All that is true to me.
Don't pull me under,
I am content here.
Running from thunder,
I'm breathing stale air.
I shouldn't feel.
I shouldn't heal.
I should peel.
I should deal.
Before it gets to me.
Too deep to be.
Removed from all that is true to me.

Mourn
Down so deep. Floor above your head.
Eternal sleep. Buried and dead.
There's a wall, in your face.
You call, but there's no space.
They don't hear, they ignore.
Your voice can't tear through the floor.
They cry for you, but you still move.
What is true, how to disprove.
You scrape at the sides, so close to your head.
You are stuck inside this house of the dead.
Eternal sleep. Buried and dead.
There's a wall, in your face.
You call, but there's no space.
They don't hear, they ignore.

They cry for you, but you still move.
What is true, how to disprove.
You scrape at the sides, so close to your head.
You are stuck inside this house of the dead.
