POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i tend to write from my past i figure if i write them out somehow the feelings will pass
Unnoticed
The tree so green and full of life,
With strong roots that held tight,
But no one sees the fungus that begins to grow,
Because on the outside it doesnt show,
As time goes by,
The leaves start to die,
Slowly the rot begins to show on the outside,
The fungus the tree held so deep inside,
Had no place left to hide,
The bark starts to turn black,
The limbs begin to bend and crack,
No one would water it,
So down the middle it split,
They assumed it would always be there,
So they went on without a care,
It was such a sad sight,
To see...

Saver
You been me till i break,
But still i stay,
I wont give you the satisfaction of me walking away,
You push my love down as hard as you can,
But still it stands,
I'm stronger than you give me credit for,
I'm more than you deserve,
I stay because i know i can save you,
Whether or not you want me to,
I will break down those walls,
And climb inside,
To the inner workings of your demented mind,
You are powerless against my determination,
You will change,
Even if it means my annihilation.

disobedience
My soul blackened,
My heart turned to ice,
Happieness is inconceivable,
This is my life,
Nobody wants me,
You've made that clear,
I should be lucky to have you,
So i deal with the fear,
If i wouldnt act so bad,
You wouldnt get that mad,
This is all my fault,
I brought this on myself,
If i just learn to do things right,
I wouldnt get into these fights,
Perfection is what i need to achieve,
Then maybe you'll treat me the way i should be.

adversity
Lost in a cloud of dust,
Theres no one left to trust,
My soul burning on fire,
He turned out to be nothing but a liar,
I should've seen right through his words,
I shouldn't have let him in to make me hurt,
I ignored all the signs,
I saw but turned a blind eye,
How stupid was i,
How naive,
To think someone like him could change,
I let the tears roll of my back,
Another lesson learned,
Another crack,
I look in the mirror and tell myself,
I'm too good for this,
He needs help,
I push the thought of guilt and worthlessness from my...

welcomed stranger
Stumbling around in the darkness i've made,
A man appears and walks my way,
I'm Joe he speaks his name,
I'm here to erase all of your pain,
A rush of emotions i don't understand,
With my heart pounding i take his hand,
He leads me down a path unknown,
He pulls me close and whispers your not alone,
With darkness all around me,
He tells me be not afraid,
I'm here to show you the way,
His love so pure and strong,
To turn back now would be wrong,
The more we walk the darkness starts to fade,
All of the tears all of the pain,
Slowly melts...

failure
You gave me the gift of life,
But for my safety you did not fight,
You ignored what was happening to me,
You acted as if that was the way things should be,
I cried out for your help,
But you werent there when i needed you most,
You discarded me as if i was an unwanted piece of trash,
You destroyed my innocence,
By condemning me to a life of shame and submissiveness,
You are no longer my mother,
I dont know why i even bothered,
Your expectations are to high to reach,
But still your approval i seek,
I dont know how to move on,
But i know...

helpless
Shadows fall over me,
The light is hard to see,
I wish someone could rescue me,
But im so far from hope,
Im on an never ending downward slope,
I know the path i have to take,
And to go the other way would be a mistake,
But the wrong path pulls me its way,
Its power is much more then i can say,
Its so easy to say yes,
And much harder to say no,
I try to say it but on the word i choke,
Im scared of the unknown,
Im scared to be alone,
Id much rather be broken and hurt,
Then scared and alone on this path of dirt,
So down the wrong...

Turmoil
Scream, shout, yell,
I'm living in hell,
Push, shove, shake,
He says it was a mistake,
Kick, slap, punch,
But he says he loves me so much,
Blood, bruises, pain,
Its just another day,
Hugs, kisses, regret,
Why havent i left yet,
Broken bones, torture, rape,
There is no escape,
Tears, depression, fear,
I feel the end drawing near,
Choke, smile, knife,
He takes my life,
Sad faces, flowers, white dress,
They lower my body in the ground to rest.

damaged
My life is falling apart,
The world is slowly going dark,
I ache to be free of these chains,
Ino longer wish to feel this pain,
Its getting harder for me to see,
Not much longer now,
Soon i will be free,
I feel the numbness overtaking me,
I feel my heart dropping speed,
My chest feels so heavy now,
Its getting harder to breathe,
I think back to my life,
How nothing i did was ever right,
Faces of people i've hurt fill my head,
They will be much happier once i'm dead,
My chest begins to burn from lack of air,
Oh yes i'm almost...

the closet
Looking in the mirror and what do i see,
A broken shattered child stares back at me,
The innocence has been ripped from my soul,
The warmth in my heart replaced by the cold,
In the closet i hide,
To cry away the pain i feel inside,
The closet is my only friend,
It hides me from him,
My clothes torn my body bruised,
No one would help,
But they all knew,
Escape from this hell is what i need,
At eight years old even that i can see,
My eyes grow heavy as i drift off to sleep,
Praying for some kind of release,
The door opens and its him,...

enough
My heart turns off,
My mind goes blank,
Thers no room left to think,
The seconds pass by as if it was a dream,
Soon he will find me,
All thefeelings fade from my body,
And i feel like a zombie,
This is all to much,
I've had enough,
i'm going to end this myself,
I'm tired of him useing me as a punching bag for himself,
This is the last time it will be done,
I say as i load the gun,
I point the gun at the door,
Waiting for it to open,
Waiting for the chance to unload it,
I hear the footsteps coming down the hall,
My breath...
