POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Right now I'm using writing as a way of organizing my thoughts.
More Than in Love
Reach out your hand
toward me
Think about
what we could be
More than in love
more than a couple
Make me yours
or there'll be trouble
I'm what you want
I'm what you need
I'm all yours
I'll follow you're lead
Think fast
Forget the past
It's now and forever
or never together
toward me
Think about
what we could be
More than in love
more than a couple
Make me yours
or there'll be trouble
I'm what you want
I'm what you need
I'm all yours
I'll follow you're lead
Think fast
Forget the past
It's now and forever
or never together

The Fight of Life
Fight back
I know
that you can
but you won't
Fight harder
What you want
is just within
reach
All you have to do
is try
Fight alone
You don't need
any help now
You have all you need
to succeed
Fight to win
There is no
try again tomorrow
It is here
and now
or never
The choice is yours
Fight or Forfeit
I know
that you can
but you won't
Fight harder
What you want
is just within
reach
All you have to do
is try
Fight alone
You don't need
any help now
You have all you need
to succeed
Fight to win
There is no
try again tomorrow
It is here
and now
or never
The choice is yours
Fight or Forfeit

Predictability
Without waves
the ocean would just be water
Without stars
the endless night sky would just be black
Without lightening
storms would be all show and no action
Without wind
air would stay in one place
forever
essential, but predictable
The world still
and unnaturally calm
the ocean would just be water
Without stars
the endless night sky would just be black
Without lightening
storms would be all show and no action
Without wind
air would stay in one place
forever
essential, but predictable
The world still
and unnaturally calm

Let Go
I want to hide you away
protect you
shelter you
from all of life's
hardships and struggles
I want to keep you
from making the same
mistakes that I made
But I have to let go
You need to learn
for yourself
how it feels
to fly
or to crash
and burn

Overused Sayings
This is not
one of those poems
You already know
about the pain
the blood
the cuts
that never seem to heal
"Time heals"
I don't think so
"Just say no"
Harder than it sounds
"No pressure"
Ever heard that used
without sarcasm?
"Talk to a trusted friend"
Even if I knew someone
worth trusting
I wouldn't want
to ruin their day
by telling them
what you and I
already know
"Life sucks, and then you die"
Some sooner than others

Sick
I'm sick
of hoping
things will change
I'm sick
of wondering
how things will turn out
I'm sick
of wishing
my future looked bright
I'm sick
of waiting
for a happy ending
I'm sick
of wallowing
in sadness
I'm sick
of having
nowhere else to go
I'm sick
of giving
until I have nothing left
but sickness

things will change

Revenge
There's no way to avoid it
I know I was wrong
But did you really need
to throw it back in my face?
Couldn't you have just
let it go?
We all make mistakes
we all have regrets
And this is mine
That is no excuse
to treat me the way
that I deserve
You could have been strong
and just moved on
But instead you hurt me
like I hurt you
Is this really how you felt?
Or is it different
because you were surrounded
by friends
and engulfed by family
and I am alone
left to think about
what I am missing
left to...

Hidden
You think you know me
but you don't
You think you can control me
but you can't
You may be able
to watch my every move
but no one knows
what I think about
when I'm alone
Someday I'll get
an opportunity
that I can't pass by
and you will have to watch me leave
If you were so worried
about me
why did you ignore
my cries for help
You could tell
I was hiding something
Every day I pretend
and you don't notice
or you don't care
but you don't
You think you can control me
but you can't
You may be able
to watch my every move
but no one knows
what I think about
when I'm alone
Someday I'll get
an opportunity
that I can't pass by
and you will have to watch me leave

my cries for help

Truth
How could I be
so naive?
I thought that you
would understand
so I told you
and you alone
the truth
Everyone else
only knows lies
I don't even think
you know
the difference
between the truth
and the lies
I opened my heart
and my mind
and let you in
Why didn't you
warn me
that you don't care
that you can't
give me any help
or rescue me
from this deep hole
I have fallen into

Just watch
Nothing you say
can make me stay
You put me through
too much hell
You just watched
as I fell
You lead me to
disaster
You think you are
my master
Well, just watch
as I run
You're no match,
'cause I'm done
dealing with you
and the pain
you put me through
every day
that I stay
with you
can make me stay
You put me through
too much hell
You just watched
as I fell
You lead me to
disaster
You think you are
my master
Well, just watch
as I run
You're no match,
'cause I'm done
dealing with you
and the pain
you put me through
every day
that I stay
with you

Reality vs. Delusion
It's not a trick question
The answer is simple
Yes or no
No in between and no second chance
This is life, not a game
Reality bites
You better come to your senses
before you learn the hard way
what happens when you mess
with the truth
If you hurt me
that's just the way it goes
but you will not ignore me
unless you want
a piece of my mind

Threat to Friendship
Leave her alone
I have a temper
that you don't
want to see
so stay away
I may
have my faults
but disloyalty
is not
among them
I will fight
for friendship
and you
are a threat
that I cannot
overlook
I will warn her
but still
she may not see
you
for what you are
So I must be there
waiting
on the edge
to cut you off
She will thank me
someday
