POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My poems are simple and take very little bit to understand, don't focus on it so much, you might be looking at a distraction.
Venom
I can smell the toxicants
you sense my fear
beneath your feet, I stand near
venom in your words
it drips when you speak
the nice delicate sting
talks down to me
eventually, I'll accept defeat
I can hear the whispers
you all talk about me
your sweet nothings
attempt to caress my cheek
do not fret,
I can see what you mean
venom in your words
drips when you speak
stings with every bite
bittersweet defeat
you sense my fear
beneath your feet, I stand near
venom in your words
it drips when you speak
the nice delicate sting
talks down to me
eventually, I'll accept defeat
I can hear the whispers
you all talk about me
your sweet nothings
attempt to caress my cheek
do not fret,
I can see what you mean
venom in your words
drips when you speak
stings with every bite
bittersweet defeat

Discrimination
eyes glance
faces are made
for a certain color
we think 'what a disgrace'
for some
they try hard, make a living
others become trash
like how they're treated
opens your eyes
see we're no different
the colors, the looks
it's all just an illusion

dirt shoes, clean rug
i open my heart
allowing you in
you stepped all over me
cleaning yourself off for someone else
of course i let you
why wouldn't i ?
you send me mixed feelings
nothing im used to
no matter how hard
i attempt to forget you
you come back in
and here we are again
cleaning your shoes
forever i'll let you
just because of the feelings
i have for you
hoping for more
screwing me over
with your dirty shoes
allowing you in
you stepped all over me
cleaning yourself off for someone else
of course i let you
why wouldn't i ?
you send me mixed feelings
nothing im used to
no matter how hard
i attempt to forget you
you come back in
and here we are again
cleaning your shoes
forever i'll let you
just because of the feelings
i have for you
hoping for more
screwing me over
with your dirty shoes

claustrophobic
look around
make eye to eye contact
feel everyone shift in
the room gets smaller
your breath hitches
your palms get sweaty
then the rest of your body jumps in
you glance everywhere
anxiety kicks in
bam! the door opens
relief settles in
make eye to eye contact
feel everyone shift in
the room gets smaller
your breath hitches
your palms get sweaty
then the rest of your body jumps in
you glance everywhere
anxiety kicks in
bam! the door opens
relief settles in

listen
open your eyes
listen deep within all the voices
for what you can't see
but maybe you can hear
all the nonsense
bullshit
and stuff that doesn't add up
yet it all somehow leads up back to you
when you remember who your real friends are
then maybe you should take a break
from them all
listen to yourself
trust in you
and forget about the rest
for when you close your eyes
and listen to heart beat
it's beating for you
perhaps you are unsure of why yet
you might question it all
but for once ...

Broken
Deeper than deep
stronger than strength
tougher than tough
yet can easily break
her voice
allows you to feel safe
letting your guard down
you now feel relief
she takes you for granted
pausing your fall
taking your strength,
air,
power,
your all
you try to stay closed,
like a locked up book
her hands delicately,
touch your soul
telling your story
for you now are
broken and exposed

your all
you try to stay closed,
like a locked up book
her hands delicately,
touch your soul
telling your story
for you now are
broken and exposed
