POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My inspiration to write poems was my 7th & 8th grade English teacher, Mrs. Turbyfill. Although her class was pretty hard for me, she would always encourage me to write.
It's Quiet Now
It is amazing how time flew by pretty quick,
It was just yesterday we were still holding hands.
The thought of not having you by my side is unbearable,
Watching you hold hands with someone else.
Not even two months ago you were the one who told me
That what we had you would never have wanted it to die.
Yet I stood back and watched you kill it in front of me.
With not a single ounce of mercy in your cold heart.
For many nights I would cry out unto a God seeking answers
To why in the world would have you done such a thing.
The mere thought of...

A New Fire
I was beginning to lose hope
This world has taken me in so deep
It's a miracle to even get some sleep
The only word in my head was 'nope'.
I'm over here aiming for success
While the world would slap me in the face
Everything seemed like such a disgrace
People around were all working for the press.
I can't remember the last time I had joy
My whole world has become very dark
I felt helpless swimming near a shark
Then I remembered, I am no longer a little boy.
The tides around me turned upside down
I would rise again...

A Boy In the Forest
Just a boy wandering the forest with some friends.
Suddenly, I got separated from the pack and became lost.
I cried out for help, but no one could hear me.
Running towards the sunlight was my only hope.
Darkness would soon be upon me, and I was alone.
Everyone had already made it back home.
Yet I was still alone wandering the forest.
I had no where to run, and no where to go.
I just stayed there wandering what will happen.
Will I get saved, or will I lose myself in the darkness?
Nightfall came, and I was still alone in...

I Was There.
Before you could make your own decisions...
I was there when you were in your mother's womb.
I was there when you were born.
I was there when you were barely learning to walk.
I was there when you finally spoke your first word.
I was there when you first went to Pre-K.
I was there when your mother passed away.
I was there when you struggled through your childhood.
As time passed and you took a journey on your own... ...

You and I
I sit back and watch you,
You look over and hide.
I give you a warm smile,
You give me nothing back.
I am kind to you always,
You always give me pain.
I give you a lovely flower,
You grab it and tear it.
I became your toy,
You became tired of me.
I gave you true love,
You abused of if.
I showed you patience,
You never were with me.
I gave you my full-time,
You never spared a second.
I ask why I was with you,
You don't even say a word.
I finally decided to say bye,
You...
You look over and hide.
I give you a warm smile,
You give me nothing back.

Once A Thug
Fists clutched ready to stick
that blood in the lip and
watch the fake color drip
all because I was a dick.
I lived by a certain code
hate those that hate you
stick to the natural blue
there was no other mode.
The number was one-three
anything else was just fake
nothing else I could take
I'd say in hate get off of me.
Wearing that blue crown
others thought I could dress
but I needed not to impress
for inside I had a deep frown.
I couldn't live by that no more
my time was coming to an end ...

Bloody Rose
I placed my eyes over a garden of roses,
thinking that they would all look the same,
then I saw one that stuck out from the rest,
it was the most beautiful rose I had ever seen,
I wanted to reach for it and take it for myself,
but its sharp thorns didn't allow me to,
it only left me with tears wanting that one rose.
As the days went I would pass by the garden,
that one rose would still shine among the rest,
I would sit in front of it and I'd look at it,
but then it would taunt me to reach for it,
the times I did resulted in having bloody hands,...
