POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I might appear rather strange to you - I barely post, I write about the dark and appear to be more like this name the website gave me: a strange creature. Please rest assured that I am very much human. I just do what I told you: Writing the rain of life.
I‘m okay
Panting
Frozen
Friends asking if I am okay
Freely
Chosen
But right now I just cannot stay
Party
Be open
Once again I stand in my way
Recharging
Lonely
That’s when I say I‘m okay
Frozen

Freely
Chosen
But right now I just cannot stay

Be open
Once again I stand in my way

That’s when I say I‘m okay

Her time
It's her again
as always, she.
She loves you
and it's not Me.
She writes you
and it's not Me.
You want her too
never gon' be Me.
And so you stay
a beautiful dream.
A crazy Utopia
a different world from Me.
Something to cry 'bout
something to scream.
Never went ever
that's what I see.
And so it's My fault
she feels unseen.
She's been hurt before
by Me.
She's hurt right now
through you and Me.
Will she be hurt
when you will see
what she offers you? ...
as always, she.
She loves you
and it's not Me.
She writes you
and it's not Me.
You want her too
never gon' be Me.
And so you stay
a beautiful dream.
A crazy Utopia
a different world from Me.
Something to cry 'bout
something to scream.
Never went ever
that's what I see.
And so it's My fault
she feels unseen.
She's been hurt before

Will she be hurt

Next to me
My inner tears are leaking out
I‘m screaming
Silently
Respecting your boundaries
Still in doubt
Your smell is hunting me
Please get me out
Scream aloud
If I‘m allowed
This is torchery, honestly
Your sitting next to me
Once again
Silently
I‘m screaming
Silently
Respecting your boundaries
Still in doubt
Your smell is hunting me
Please get me out
Scream aloud
If I‘m allowed
This is torchery, honestly
Your sitting next to me
Once again
Silently

Girls
I never though I'm into girls
Until that dumb Billie Eilish song
Until I watched my friend too long
And wanted to be hers
I never thought I'd fall
For my ex-best friends ex
For the beauty of my sex
Just to be crushed against a wall
Being "cool" is just the same as nice
And I wanted you for every price
Wanted to change just to get a happy-end
But you said no and that's okay
Now I feel bad because I'm gay
And after all, we just remain "friends"

What if? (Kiss)
What if
I wanna kiss you
Taste the lips and feel your heart
What if
I dream about you
About us dancing in the dark
What if
I can't let go
About your smell, your looks, your sparkling
What if
You‘re the reason
I went to this party
What if
I wanna kiss you,
You shining little star
But you
Are so in love
With the girl that broke your heart?
I wanna kiss you
Taste the lips and feel your heart
What if
I dream about you
About us dancing in the dark
What if
I can't let go
About your smell, your looks, your sparkling
What if
You‘re the reason
I went to this party
What if
I wanna kiss you,
You shining little star
But you
Are so in love
With the girl that broke your heart?

To Be Humble
Humble is the word, it paves the way.
Humble every time, that I look at this race.
I’ver never been so proud and yet so ashamed.
Humble: the price that I pay, every day.
I wanna be God, since I deserve it.
Good at everything, since I’m worth it.
A record made? I may disturb it.
I should be first, or else I’m worthless.
It’s hard to walk this rocky road.
I pay in sweat and tears and hope.
„I shall be better”, is what I told.
I won’t accept, that I’m no gold.
Since middle class is not my standard.
Since I’m the...

I am
I’m sorry for being
I didn’t chose it either
I’m bound to your wife
Not because I want to be here
I’m sorry if you see me as
Disrespectful and lazy
And that we both know the fact
That time won’t change me
I’m sorry how I am
But does that justify
The way you’re screaming at my head
Every time I missed a right?
The accusations that you make
Behind my back
Behind charades
I guess it’s hard
To be that way
I know your life’s not easy
Neither is mine
And every time that you don’t talk
You don’t...

See me.
It’s the time of silent cries.
Thinking about suicide.
Pain is when I close my eyes.
Even death wouldn’t be right.
Look at myself and hate the sight.
Man, I hate this fucking life.
I hate the person that is mine.
It’s grown too bad for me this time.
Look at the world then look at me.
Ask yourself, why would I be…?
I shrink, when they scream.
I shrink, when they speak.
Every talk is about me.
I see them all, no one sees me.
Even my parents disbelieve,
That I can feel and live and breathe.

Merry Christmas
A smiling Claus on the card
Makes little stitches in my heart
It holds the secret to some words
That are shallow, but still hurt
I cannot stop, you make me cry
The same card as... every time
You ask me if I was alright -
Oh, wait, a tear dropped on that line
For it is every other season
For no however reason
You compose this shallow poem
This charade of care and worrying
Pretend you've changed in words and rhythm
Gentle asking, no sin admitting
But you know real change from that fall
Would be sending no card at...

Write for it
I write for it
Words fall easy
It’s the night for it
Fight for it
Voids begin healing
I will strive for it
Quite honest?
“Us” grew some distant
Since I wrote on it
Like on it
Start seeing me
Is it what I wanted?
Evolve
All these feeling turned into good cause
Love
The mirror’s picture - Yes I know it’s hard
Scars
Are it scars, if it’s the people you love?
Hard
Times will be the fuel to new start
Words fall easy
It’s the night for it

Ignorant me
Heartbroken frame
Freezing in the rain
Saddest music ever heard
Another beat, vision‘s blurred
Walking lanes and rounds
Hearing voice and sounds
Can’t forget the smile
It will last a while
To the mind is shattered
To the feelings mattered
A dream
Uncertain it‘ll seem
For it is lost in the wind
A sudden end to a begin
Freedom given
Distance earned
Tears are falling
Rain occurs
Freezing in the rain
Saddest music ever heard
Another beat, vision‘s blurred
Walking lanes and rounds
Hearing voice and sounds
Can’t forget the smile
It will last a while
To the mind is shattered
To the feelings mattered
A dream
Uncertain it‘ll seem
For it is lost in the wind
A sudden end to a begin
Freedom given
Distance earned
Tears are falling
Rain occurs

Punching bag
I’ve seen a punching bag today
That was left in the rain
It had a hole but not from fist and not from hand
A punching bag yesterday
That was standing in the way
Always in the way, the punching bag is bad
I’ve seen a punching bag, ok?
That really cares bout people’s way
But people just turn round to punch it in the back
I’ve seen a punching bag today
That was beat up, left for decay
A punching bag in the mirror
No one cares
That was left in the rain
It had a hole but not from fist and not from hand
A punching bag yesterday
That was standing in the way
Always in the way, the punching bag is bad
I’ve seen a punching bag, ok?
That really cares bout people’s way
But people just turn round to punch it in the back
I’ve seen a punching bag today
That was beat up, left for decay
A punching bag in the mirror
No one cares
