Self Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Personal poetry about the way you feel about yourself
This area is for personal poetry: poems about yourself and your feelings about who you are. Poems here focus on identity, ego, self confidence, insecurities and personality. For readers it's a chance to get to know the poet better and for writers it's an opportunity to analyse themselves by poetic means. The self poems category encourages the poet to lay themselves bare for all to read about, it can be both a frightening and empowering experience.
Nothing left
I've been shot, but no limp.
Been blown up, im not a gimp.
I watched my whole family bury.
There is nothing left to scare me.
Dreams of the past use to break me out in sweats
Mentally I was my own threat.
Nothing to take from me.
Nothing left I want to see.
World tryed to put me in check.
Devils tryed breaking my irish neck.
Now my demons out now they don't want none.
Fuck it we can all die today.
Been blown up, im not a gimp.
I watched my whole family bury.
There is nothing left to scare me.
Dreams of the past use to break me out in sweats
Mentally I was my own threat.
Nothing to take from me.
Nothing left I want to see.
World tryed to put me in check.
Devils tryed breaking my irish neck.
Now my demons out now they don't want none.
Fuck it we can all die today.

The Alice Cooper Dream
I've redecorated my apartment.
The walls are Pepto Bismol pink,
with big ugly black and white fish decals.
Alice Cooper is asleep on my couch.
I'm cooking a steak for him.
When he wakes up, he looks at me,
and tells me I have gum in my hair.
Then he leaves.
Alice Cooper, why'd you have to go?

Broken (Free)
Broken,
free...
there is
only me,
this mind,
see-
so free
a whipcord dog
in blue sinew
buries a bone
away from view;
impenitent steel
for yowling real -
my name
my nerve
my sass
my verve,
smitten...
brain bug-bitten,
a hopeful ghoul
in a pool of drool -
a stricken hick
with a breakaway tick -
my boots, my grave -
how my guts do taste
laughing like rain
and unafraid, ...
free...

Roads
Opens his arms to all the condemned
lays down his sword when overwhelmed
To puzzled and frail to comprehend
Rage fuelled agony all in his head
The now is his but the rest is lost again
A memory of laughter grazing his skin
Blood boiled in oil as he pretends
A parody of society now the 1%
Tired, boots laced up with no honor
A nostalgia from the past sad & somber
Sinking in his shame, red dagger, blue fire
Weights so heavy it crippled his posture
So..
when the world comes crashing down ...

I am thinking of you
I am thinking of you
In my sleepless nights
I want you by my side in bed
Every night
I also wanted to make love
With you
That is what I am missing
Every night
I just wonder why I
could never have you
That doesn't sound fair
To live alone
For many years now
I must say that I have
Nobody to grow old with
In my sleepless nights
I want you by my side in bed
Every night
I also wanted to make love
With you
That is what I am missing
Every night
I just wonder why I
could never have you
That doesn't sound fair
To live alone
For many years now
I must say that I have
Nobody to grow old with

My love
My love
That my Father gave to me
I will share with my siblings
Because they also need love
From me
Also, I share my love with my
Close friends
That I have known a lifetime
They have some respect for me
And I have also some respect
For my friends
My father keeps us alive
Every single day here on earth
That my Father gave to me
I will share with my siblings
Because they also need love
From me
Also, I share my love with my
Close friends
That I have known a lifetime
They have some respect for me
And I have also some respect
For my friends
My father keeps us alive
Every single day here on earth

This Path of Uncertainty
I know this path…
This is a path I’ve walked before…
It’s a dark one with an indeterminate end.
Me, myself and I think there are some things that are just kept better quiet.
I don’t want to be quiet anymore.
I want to leave this arctic realm of realism, lower my foot into the warm bath water
of surrealism, and be home!
Here in reality, I am no one.
There in surrealism, I am someone.
I’ll raise my hand to the glass
and the figure in the reflection follows.
Then we join palms,
then a ripple in the glass.
All I...

alone under the stage lights
Feel nothing
hug an almost stranger
smile
feel alive for the time
it takes to embrace
Let go
emotional slippage
sweat kissed skin
untouched in cold air
I'm alone
I'm always alone
He makes me beg
I won't beg
I fantasize
about drunkenly fucking
a random stranger
in a bathroom stall
but I don't drink anymore
and sex is just another distraction
It won't save me
but it might make me cry
I wish my lover
would make me cry
but...

Bien venido
To a beautiful day
Let's not waste that day
By sleep in
If we sleep in we will
Not sleep at night
So we must enjoy this day
That our father gave to us
Here on earth
yes we are having the Summer
Here on earth
that our father create for us
With his holy hands
Also we took a look in the sky
And there was no sign of rain
We don't like the rain at all
Because when it is
There is lighting and thunder
The noise of lightning and thunder
Wake us up when we are sleeping during...

Living for
Who am i living for?
for you who wished me gone
You who beat me up
punished for what I've done
You who never cared
who wished I wasn't born
even if the skin healed up
young memories stay torn
Who am I living for?
for you who stabbed me in the back
So much for being a friend
when you jumped into the sack
Now you go around and say
go live your life without regret
for you it's so much easier
there's no betrayal to forget
Who am I living for?
for you who say but never do
Each...

adrift
This silence hollows me out
like the universe has scraped
out my insides with a melon-baller
leaving small useless chunks of me
to observe in the daylight
like strange scientific specimens
I can't relate to myself
I lose myself in other worlds
untouched by reality
but I can't stay there
when people always drag me back
kicking and screaming into the glare
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be anywhere
This silence hollows me out
I don't know where I am
like the universe has scraped
out my insides with a melon-baller
leaving small useless chunks of me
to observe in the daylight
like strange scientific specimens
I can't relate to myself
I lose myself in other worlds
untouched by reality
but I can't stay there
when people always drag me back
kicking and screaming into the glare
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be anywhere
This silence hollows me out
I don't know where I am
