POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My poems are mostly about anxiety😱self-esteem😋 love❤️ and unrequited love💀
Scared To Say Goodbye
scared to say goodnight
lightning gone haywire
striking through my mind
setting my hair on fire
going to the fair on rides
unstrapping myself midair so i can fly
scared to say goodbye
but i gotta be a man
confused.. lost of words
problems like the sand
abused myself like dirt
(the truth hurts)
afraid of your reaction
afraid of your real attraction
erase me with the pink end
or scratch me out with an ink pen
Scared to say goodbye
it's been a while since i heard a no...

Reality Is Too Much
The nights
Aren't long enough
For me to see
My love
Too short
For us to get close
Now it's time
To go
Time goes by too fast
For this moment to last
Any longer
The road
Is too cold
To walk
Alone
The days
Are too long
Too much time
To be on guard
The sunrise
Is the arise
of stressful situations
In this cursed life
Too much time
To hide
From the sunshine
Something I should enjoy
But certain things are...
Aren't long enough

My love
Too short
For us to get close

To walk
Alone
The days

Too much time
To be on guard
The sunrise
Is the arise
of stressful situations
In this cursed life
Too much time
To hide
From the sunshine
Something I should enjoy
But certain things are...

Grave
Lying in the grave
Trying to figure out what i did
Looking up at the gray
Beneath the surface
My eyes hurt
But i can’t close them
It wont be long until they shut
Savoring this last moment
Sometimes i had hope
Unrequited love was always my friend
Failure was always the result
I can’t even fold
I had a decent childhood
Flowers planted above
My tears’ll feed the roots
When the sun shines they'll bloom
Dirt falls on my face
Thought about my reputation
I wasn’t known as one who talked...
Trying to figure out what i did
Looking up at the gray
Beneath the surface
My eyes hurt
But i can’t close them
It wont be long until they shut
Savoring this last moment
Sometimes i had hope
Unrequited love was always my friend
Failure was always the result
I can’t even fold
I had a decent childhood
Flowers planted above
My tears’ll feed the roots
When the sun shines they'll bloom
Dirt falls on my face
Thought about my reputation
I wasn’t known as one who talked...

Growing Up
Teeth stabbing out your gums
Hair runs through your skin after birth
Falling in and out of love
growing up hurts
Hair runs through your skin after birth
Falling in and out of love

The End
Time is infinite
So the end is imminent
Sinned infinite
Will I make it
Eyes open at the last minute
No longer paying attention to my physical appearance
Realized that wasn't what mattered
Saving lives, love and laughter
Looking back on the years
What I should've done
Spent my life trying to appeal to my peers
Didn't even have fun
So the end is imminent
Sinned infinite
Will I make it
Eyes open at the last minute
No longer paying attention to my physical appearance
Realized that wasn't what mattered
Saving lives, love and laughter
Looking back on the years
What I should've done
Spent my life trying to appeal to my peers
Didn't even have fun

Abandoned
(Not good enough
I don’t fit in, I'm boring
I don't belong anywhere
Did i have to be born?)
Broken objects surround me
I'm not independent
I'm irresponsible
Messing up everything
In an abandoned place
Giving into temptations
Breathing in dust
In the dark they forgot me
Water full of germs drips from mold
Burned myself because it's so cold
The screams mixed in with the bugs ...

Empty
An empty void is present
No one is talking
No elegance just a title
Don't listen to the wind
Broken doors stopped swinging long ago
No bugs even in the holes
Dust is what was bone
Love is cold
I whisper my song
Because loneliness has made me go insane
Talking to myself
The building will collapse if I yell
No one is talking
No elegance just a title
Don't listen to the wind
Broken doors stopped swinging long ago
No bugs even in the holes
Dust is what was bone
Love is cold
I whisper my song
Because loneliness has made me go insane
Talking to myself
The building will collapse if I yell

Paranoid
Not trying
To be alone.
I crave
A connection
Wanting
To put in
Earphones.
Disconnected
Can't find
The right song
To listen to.
Loss of focus
Can't find
Anything
To consume.
Loss of appetite
Constricted
By the muscles
Under my skin.
Tension
Adds to the room
When others walk in.
To be alone.

The City
You're just another city
That I'm passing through
On the way to my destination
Yet I'm happy to see you
A city with heavy traffic
Difficult to get out of
To get alone
So pretty and very attractive
Difficult not to fall in love
You're all I want
That I'm passing through
On the way to my destination
Yet I'm happy to see you
A city with heavy traffic
Difficult to get out of
To get alone
So pretty and very attractive
Difficult not to fall in love
You're all I want

I look at the stars in the night
And I wish
I had someone to share this view with
Maybe you're in the sky
Maybe you're the wind that blows
And play tricks on me
As I try to catch the kisses you blow
Because love is confusing
If you're the wind
Lift me up
Don't let me go
Could you possibly be the sun?
That wakes me up in the morning?
And peeps into my room?
As i look for something new?
If you're the sun
Show me my bright side
Are you the rain?
That wakes me up from my dreams?

The Day After The Function
The floor creaks
When she steps down
From the bed sheets
In her night gown
She gets a call
To do the chores
Her heart stays alive
Though she pulled the chords
How long
will this go on?
What is her prize
For not having what she wants?

Heartbreak Suicide
The streets are a little more quiet than usual
I can hear her walking away
Knowing another will make her happy soon
She feels no pain
But the man remains alone
His bottle remains full
Only positive emotions can be shown
Any other is shown by a fool
(But we have to keep going)
Life is a riddle
The streets widen
As i stand in the middle
On my knees dying
I dont know how longer i can take it
Knowing this isnt the last storm
