POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
AS a poet I write mostly urban poetry. All my poems come from a type of experience I've had, and/or something that is happening to me at the time. I can really write about anything anywhere at any time with anyone =)
What if
If I listened to daddy”
It was fourth of July
as fireworks lit your sky
tears filled mine
My father kept me away from him
it would have been just us at his apartment
Took me away from the only guy I trusted
My father didn't understand
so what if I was a little girl and he a man
Why was it wrong for him to hold my hand?
Daddy thought Chris had a thing for me
I told him he was wrong I was just thirteen
We where just friends why couldn't he see!
“What really happened”
Little did I know my father was rite...

ghostly love
You have me chasing a ghost
Old memories that wont leave
I keep them in mind subliminaly
All that I have left of this mirror and smoke love
You cant always get what you want
Who made up this law of unatraction
Hope his darck soul was banished
I'm not selfish
I ask for one thing
How can feelings feel mutual
When they are far from just that
its fine
I'm agile enough
to bend and not break
what if I never feel these things
With another
Forever, will I be searching
for someone to take your place?
Is that unfair...

Only I
Sigh of relief
mixed with grief
I heard that death has come upon you
heartless thief
But because my kindness
Is infinite
My heart sunk
knowing your loss of presence was legitimate
More so
because i'll never get revenge
But part of me
because at one point
you where my friend
Only I could feel sorrow
at the loss of someone
Who caused me so much pain
The same way
I still smile when it rains
How can I forgive
when an apology was never given
I guess in my mind
Sorrow is forbidden
what was done...

don't think too much
It takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
But it takes a lonely one, to wish she'de never dreamt at all
Dig your ditch deep enough
To protect you from the sun
You've been burnt more than once
You don't think much of trust.
Your so sure ill be leaving in the end
Treating me like I'm already gone.
But I'm, not I will stay where u are always
Let me bend you
I promise not to break you
But it takes a lonely one, to wish she'de never dreamt at all
Dig your ditch deep enough
To protect you from the sun
You've been burnt more than once
You don't think much of trust.
Your so sure ill be leaving in the end
Treating me like I'm already gone.
But I'm, not I will stay where u are always
Let me bend you
I promise not to break you

f**k YOU
Basketball and inline skates
You took that all away
I believed there was no bad in the world
I was just a little girl
Fireworks enlightened me
Now they give me anxiety
Fuck you for taking that all away from me
I was eleven you heartless dick
How can you take away a childs innocents
Who made it your roll to show me how cruel this world is
Why did it have to be you who turned me cold
I went threw enough afterwards to make me bold
I should have never hung around you
I was too young and nieve to know
You where too old to be hanging...

More than my son
From me you grew, apart of me you will be forever.
I will do anything to make you smile and guide tears away from your cheeks.
My life is no longer my life it's yours
therefore your smile fuels my strive In life
and I will make it the best I can for you.
You give me so much reason to believe there is good in this world.
I live off your innocents.
You bring back the feeling I use to have on holidays as a kid,
I live it threw your eyes.
I thank you for making so many people, other than me, smile and enjoy life more.
You are the most...

The Endless Fight for Fulfillment
Play the tough chick game
Pretend nothing harms me
nothing bothers me
Is this the cause of my insomnia?
Hidden feelings coming lose to my unoccupied mind
Up all night trying to put together my life
I tell myself "Your in bed there is nothing you can do rite now"
But as much as I try to talk myself out of my madness
I continue to have endless thoughts
Why can't I be normal and fall inlove with a man who loves me
A man who treats me like gold....
No....
Instead unsettled feelings for a man who has not the same love...

Don't try and figure me out. re-write for theo! first non rhyming poem
My heart abandoned by me
left alone and misunderstood
Just a muscle with no thoughts
Held responsible for all my heart breaks
Don't come too close!
Step back!
Oh, here it goes again
Pushing away a good thing
Why couldn't the good ones come first
I wasted my time with all these jerks
decomposed feelings I was left with
And your still around trying to put me back together
I'm not worth all this work and effort
Ill just treat you bad I know how this goes
I'm a bad person with a good heart
I know what to do but i just...

Don't try and figure me out.
Long streams of inoccent dreams question me of the first degree
A murderer of love
A pro at the game push and tug
get too close
Than dissipate like a ghost
Scared of love being just a hoax
Tried to prove me wrong that there are good guys
I still feel like what you say to me are lies
I feel like a burden I'm too much work
Try to win me over, still treat you like a jerk
honestly it's just a protective instinct
But to me it feels like and abandoned precinct
I want my heart to be able to feel again but I guess it...

Lose thoughts (very freestyled"
Sitting down paranoid looking around
scared for what I've done I'll soon be found
fuck a fake smile I walk around with a frown
I can do what I want because I run this town
Careless with my movements because I don't give a fuck
I hang around no one I wont be caught with a slut
have nothing to lose its not me talking tough
not guna be stepped on anymore, I had enough
move so swift you never saw me comin'
shit just went black and all you heard was thumpin'
mentally you weren't prepared,aint that somethin'
not waiting on karma to handle it...

dear shadow
Dear shadow
You walk into rooms before I do
Much braver than I
Wish I moved as angelic as you
So strong you never cry
Always ready to take flight
Silhouette of a flawless face
Because in a certain light
At certain angle and place
One can mistake you as a star
If I could hold you in the sky
that's exactly what you are
As the sun creeps you put up a fight
and the day takes over and you are nowhere to be found
In the sun I wish upon the night
And when the night sneeks back and their is no one around
Its you and I warriors...

last Time Calling me Baby
(Submitted in pain to peace comp.)
Took something like a time out
Because I needed to find
Who I was seperate from you
said I was selfish heartless and cruel
But its cool
I wana thank you for the pain you've caused me
Because it pushd me to explore unexplored seas
It wasnt love it was me being too deep
Attachement-just a schedule I was used to
Something i Let my self adapt to being used to
Woke up created my own life
One without you and constant teers in my eyes
One without nothing but ears full of lies
Fell away...
