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.

To my best friend
Why are you standing in a room with me?
Why are you standing in a room with me and still I‘m feeling alone
You’d rather be far away, staring down in your phone
I hope you know that I’m slowly losing hope
The same jokes that you used to laugh at are now boring and old
I look at you, you look away what the hell is wrong
I want to help you but you won’t let me through
I‘m feeling trapped in my mind cause your space is empty
Why is there a void? Maybe
Maybe it’s the way that we are talking
It’s different from the way we used to talk. ...

Alone
I‘m alone
In my room
Staring lonely down my phone
I want
To be with you
With all the people I know
My soul
Is crying out
Yet I ignore the sound
My owl of wisdom
It’s gone
I’m vulnerable to the tone
Of empty promises
That eventually will crush my hope
I hope
The wind will blow away
This deep dark cloud
I can’t move
I can’t cry
I can’t walk
Into the light that will safe my soul
I’m alone
In my room
Staring lonely down my phone
I want
To be with you
With all the people I know
My soul
Is crying out
Yet I ignore the sound
My owl of wisdom
It’s gone
I’m vulnerable to the tone
Of empty promises
That eventually will crush my hope
I hope
The wind will blow away
This deep dark cloud
I can’t move
I can’t cry
I can’t walk
Into the light that will safe my soul
I’m alone

Silent
If I just had a purpose then
Then I’d do something helping
Me
You
Them
Us
And everybody over the world
I swear
I could change the word
Speaking
If I just knew what for
I feel like a whore
Abused by living
What a feeling
Treated like the least liked children
If I cried out
You’d call me something worse than my feelings
Is it love or is it prison?
I swear I can’t say
This is why I do nothing and remain
Silent.
Then I’d do something helping
Me
You
Them
Us
And everybody over the world
I swear
I could change the word
Speaking
If I just knew what for
I feel like a whore
Abused by living
What a feeling
Treated like the least liked children
If I cried out
You’d call me something worse than my feelings
Is it love or is it prison?
I swear I can’t say
This is why I do nothing and remain
Silent.

Love
I see people breaking from love.
Everyday.
And I see them in pain,
But I don’t want to,
I just wanna turn away,
But you’re my friends
So I stay close to you.
Everyday.
And you’re just turning in your patterns
Just keep on getting shattered.
Is that ok with you?
Tell me how is that ok with you
Something that is breaking you
And hating you
And telling you to break it loose
Tell me, I am so confused
Is that the one that everybody’s wanting?
So I ask myself:
Do I want loving?
No.
I better...
Everyday.
And I see them in pain,
But I don’t want to,
I just wanna turn away,
But you’re my friends
So I stay close to you.
Everyday.
And you’re just turning in your patterns
Just keep on getting shattered.
Is that ok with you?
Tell me how is that ok with you
Something that is breaking you
And hating you
And telling you to break it loose
Tell me, I am so confused
Is that the one that everybody’s wanting?
So I ask myself:
Do I want loving?
No.

Waste of time
I feel like I‘m
Yeah I’m
Just a waste of time
This life
That I’m living
Is it worth to fight?
No lie
Sometimes
I don’t wanna be alive
This life
That I’m wasting
Is it your time?
My life
Feels stopped by the being of me
Like a feather catched mid-air
My eyes holding tears when I think about me
This life,
Caught me by surprise
I wasn’t ready to be
Or maybe everything that happened
Turned this life against me
And every other sleepless night
I might have...
Yeah I’m
Just a waste of time
This life
That I’m living
Is it worth to fight?
No lie
Sometimes
I don’t wanna be alive
This life
That I’m wasting
Is it your time?
My life
Feels stopped by the being of me
Like a feather catched mid-air
My eyes holding tears when I think about me
This life,
Caught me by surprise
I wasn’t ready to be
Or maybe everything that happened
Turned this life against me
And every other sleepless night
I might have...

I miss you
I miss you
Although I don’t show that every day
Although that you‘re gone is not always on my mind
I miss you
You know I miss the smile on your face
You know it was so similar to mine
I love you
Damn I loved you every single day
I hate myself I couldn’t show it as I should
I love you
You know what I‘d give to make it change
To see you, to hold you, just to look
I sit here in pain
Yet there are no tears on my face
I hate the feeling that you’re image‘s getting black
They‘re all moving on
But I? No I...
Although I don’t show that every day
Although that you‘re gone is not always on my mind
I miss you
You know I miss the smile on your face
You know it was so similar to mine
I love you
Damn I loved you every single day
I hate myself I couldn’t show it as I should
I love you
You know what I‘d give to make it change
To see you, to hold you, just to look
I sit here in pain
Yet there are no tears on my face
I hate the feeling that you’re image‘s getting black
They‘re all moving on
But I? No I...

sometimes
sometimes i feel like nobody likes me
i'm just out here waitin' for the truth
the pain in my heart is unlikely
no one thinks i'm lovable or cute
i'm stuck between my pain and my health
(cause i'm all alone)
i don't want no justice, need no help
(cause i'm all alone)
sometimes i feel like nobody's like me
i'm just out here waitin' for a You
i'm just out here waitin' for the truth
the pain in my heart is unlikely
no one thinks i'm lovable or cute
i'm stuck between my pain and my health
(cause i'm all alone)
i don't want no justice, need no help
(cause i'm all alone)
sometimes i feel like nobody's like me
i'm just out here waitin' for a You

We‘re alright
Note: This one’s actually a rap song, but you can read it as a poem I guess. Just didn’t want it to disappear in the lyrics section, yk
Long time ago there was no question how to be a man
And there was no question how we give a chance
Times ago all this changed, what is wrong with you?
Why do you think spreading hate is what you‘re supposed to do?
In the beginning was no question what is human
Switch flipped and we still don‘t know what we‘re doing
We give the love, all we get is refuse
If we go on like that our lifes will get abused
...
