POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like to write , I have terrible grammar, spelling ect ect , but I have emotion and passion .
Tap Drips
The mirror mockingly reflects back at me,
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye
I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,

I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style

A Million Little Worlds
There are A millions little worlds
Flat Planets with glass panel Atmospheres
revolving around a Million individual people
they all shine brighter than the sun
every single one
looking to communicate with the other lonely planets
star gazing thru a screen
even though the stars roam by 3ft right from the scene

Shaddows in my Fall
I've been falling for since I can remember
Most people who drop from such heights would be flailing their arms and legs , screaming in fear
But I'm not afraid
I'm eerily calm
I don't even know what height this started
Now and then I see a branch to reach out to
Trying to catch some stability or slow down
Every time I feel I can get a grip
The branches slip
So I continue this decline down this seemingly dark abyss
I'm no longer afraid
I'm just waiting to reach the bottom
The anticipation is mocking me
But the solitude...

Senseless senses
Take away my eyes ;
There's no light inside of me.
Take away my hearing ;
My ear drums no longer resonate
Pluck each nerve from my body;
I thrive to feel something,
Please
Anything
other than me.
I've become so bitter as the years slowly catch up to the physical pain my body has endured over the years .
That God damn pain
The God damn years
The fucking art
This fucking lonliness
Atleast I am feeling something , even if it is regret and self pity .

Sunshine and puppies
Where have I gone ?
I'm here , but I'm not
You can't see me ,
Thats the shell of a man whom once visually represented me ,
Now
An empty carcus of meat
A fragile egg shell of a human with
Bones that can crack , snap and splint
Vital organs that will rupture and bleed out.
I am happy and jovial
I am fun to be around
I am the one who loves
I am the one that brings a smile to gun fight
I am the one that won
So where am I ?
I am gone ,
I guess I gave up ,
I'm not coming back .

A poem for Nate
Have I got your attention ?
Rather is that something I deserve ?
I spent my whole life ignorant
Recognition is something that is earnd
See life is so complicated
We are all individuals
I wish I could take away your hatred
Your past and the unthinkable
I could take away your pain
Your sorrow and mistakes
I'd take away your trust issues
Paranoia and clean the slate
I don't believe I'm better than you
As i would struggle but I'd cope
But if it ment your whole again
I could hold on to that hope
You could...

Buried Alive
These are the words of a man who's broken,
Speaking of change but the change is unspoken
I wake alone each morning to an empty home
The silence mocks me , I have no where to go,
My thoughts are my fears and they haunt me , taunt me , tear me apart to my core and it's rotting.
Trying to find peace in my mind is like clawing my way out of a casket
Six feet under and a pressure sealed gasket,
I know it's no one else's fault
I know I can't live on hope
Changing my whole lifestyle is hard
I believe I've been delt my last card
I'm the...

Be A Man !
To be a man,
is not
to bully and push people around,
It's not
about testosterone fueled violence or black eyes at night on the town ,
It's not
to drink beer or silenceing your shame , money , reputation or having a trade .
It's not
about counting the birds that have perched on your pole.
It's not
About football , rugby or golf .
It's about protecting and caring for the ones that you love ,
Sacrificing your wants
Supporting your family
No matter what
It's about loyalty
Whether your single or committed to a...

I don't care
There is a feeling inside of my Soul
A distant memory fading away over the horizon in my heart
Lingering remains of its decaying corps stand like a small monument of what once was
I still faintly remember what it was like to care
It took a smile of courage and a sun beam of hope.
An accomplishment that would spread smiles around the world
The world as I knew it anyway
It turns out that my idea of a world was alot larger than I anticipated
People were not Who I thought they were
The disappointments grew and took away the illusions of hope ...

Should Have Known .
You should have known
That smile you were wearing wouldn't last
That feeling of excitement you had in your stomach was A warning you refused to acknowledge.
Just a taste of the love that you yearn for
Stripped away like the paint on her nails when she changes her mind the next day ,
That high that's induced by nothing but her attention.
You should have known ,
The cinematic romance is as much a myth As dragons and elves ,
