POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am everything I do, everything I feel, and everything I see. I see pain and anger, desire and love. I see the good and the bad, I bring the light to darkness, the dark to light.
Father
Does this façade please you?
You like pretending we are happy.
You like covering the hurt and pain
Showing only sparkly rainbow smiles.
Fuck you!
Everything is not ok,
It hurts and is dark and cold!
I FUCKING HATE YOU!
I am never good enough for you
My achievements are never enough.
AP courses, all A’s, teachers love me!
You don’t care…
I could be Jesus Fucking Christ
And all I’d get is “but you could do better!”
You want to cover the scars and pain?
The dried blood is red paint is it?
Well you can’t fucking...
You like pretending we are happy.
You like covering the hurt and pain
Showing only sparkly rainbow smiles.
Fuck you!
Everything is not ok,
It hurts and is dark and cold!
I FUCKING HATE YOU!
I am never good enough for you
My achievements are never enough.
AP courses, all A’s, teachers love me!
You don’t care…
I could be Jesus Fucking Christ
And all I’d get is “but you could do better!”
You want to cover the scars and pain?
The dried blood is red paint is it?
Well you can’t fucking...

Mirror Me
I am me.
But me is not alone
I am stalked
Copied.
Mirrored.
So I change.
I dye my hair
I change my style.
I speak real loud
And all you bitches can suck my non-existant-dick.
This is me.
The hidden me.
But I am still not allowed to be myself.
Mirrors follow me
Trying to steal everything I have.
I change my name
I change my life.
I whisper my opinions
And mutter in your general direction.
In French.
So Laissez-moi déjà!
Leave me ALONE already!
The Mirrors follow me.
Begging to be...
But me is not alone
I am stalked
Copied.
Mirrored.
So I change.
I dye my hair
I change my style.
I speak real loud
And all you bitches can suck my non-existant-dick.
This is me.
The hidden me.
But I am still not allowed to be myself.
Mirrors follow me
Trying to steal everything I have.
I change my name
I change my life.
I whisper my opinions
And mutter in your general direction.

Leave me ALONE already!
The Mirrors follow me.

Dream
Let me dream
Pretending you still care.
Hiding from your words.
Hiding from your actions
That burn me so.
A tear falls
Telling the world my story.
The last.
The last tear
The last heartbeat
The last breath.
Sleep forever more.
Let the darkness engulf me
So I may hide from the pain.
Please Death; grant me one of your icy kisses.
Take me away from the realities of this world,
Let me be free of the knife stabbing my fragile heart.
Do not show me the truth
I cannot take it.
The pain will cover me
I will breathe...
Pretending you still care.
Hiding from your words.
Hiding from your actions
That burn me so.
A tear falls
Telling the world my story.
The last.
The last tear
The last heartbeat
The last breath.
Sleep forever more.
Let the darkness engulf me
So I may hide from the pain.
Please Death; grant me one of your icy kisses.
Take me away from the realities of this world,
Let me be free of the knife stabbing my fragile heart.
Do not show me the truth
I cannot take it.
The pain will cover me
I will breathe...

Emo Girl
She does not dance
She does not dare
Instead she hides
Behind her hair.
She does not play
She does not run
Being her
Is not much fun.
She never smiles
She wears a frown
She does not hope
For prom queen crown.
She sits and watches
As her life goes by
She does not laugh
She’s never tried.
She does not talk
She doesn’t try
She just walks past
As days go by.
She does not dare
Instead she hides
Behind her hair.
She does not play
She does not run
Being her
Is not much fun.
She never smiles
She wears a frown
She does not hope
For prom queen crown.
She sits and watches
As her life goes by
She does not laugh
She’s never tried.
She does not talk
She doesn’t try
She just walks past
As days go by.

Air Raid
Have you ever heard the whizzing of bombs
Dropping to the ground around you?
Did you ever worry that it would be the last sound you heard?
Or that you would walk home afterward
And it would be gone?
The sky above us has never held fear.
We have prepared for the horror.
We have brought it to others
With no retaliation.
America has never heard the screams
“Mother? Father? NO!!!”
Our children did not die,
They did not lose their parents and homes
To some unseen enemy in a metal bird.
We have sent others this fear
This...
