POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I enjoy writing. I am more of a morbid writer, or a peaceful writer. There is really no in between.

A Snow Globe.
A snow globe.
So pretty & pale.
Trapped in this hell.
A snow globe.
Its pretty, can't you see?
It's much different to me.
A snow globe.
I see the inside, you see the out.
I'll show you what my worlds all about.
A snow globe.
The snow is fake you fool,
The statues are fraud.
The lights quit working at a half passed noon,
& dinners been ready since last nights cartoons.
A snow globe.
The world on the outside looks so bright & shiny.
When you shake it your dreams come true.
But this is my world and as soon as you...
So pretty & pale.
Trapped in this hell.
A snow globe.
Its pretty, can't you see?
It's much different to me.
A snow globe.
I see the inside, you see the out.
I'll show you what my worlds all about.
A snow globe.
The snow is fake you fool,
The statues are fraud.
The lights quit working at a half passed noon,
& dinners been ready since last nights cartoons.
A snow globe.
The world on the outside looks so bright & shiny.
When you shake it your dreams come true.
But this is my world and as soon as you...

Another day, another thought. We have more in common than you think.
We're all bound together forever,
By one topic, by one simple word.
The one thing that runs through our minds constantly,
It drives us inane.
It's the only thing that you & I have in common,
We deprive ourself of sleep with these thoughts.
We have different problems but we solve them with the same solutions.
Cutting after a harder day than the day before,
Burning when you have no other choice.
When someone asks if you're okay,
You just smile and say of course.
Someday hoping someone will not fall for the lying,
Everyone knows on the inside...
By one topic, by one simple word.
The one thing that runs through our minds constantly,
It drives us inane.
It's the only thing that you & I have in common,
We deprive ourself of sleep with these thoughts.
We have different problems but we solve them with the same solutions.
Cutting after a harder day than the day before,
Burning when you have no other choice.
When someone asks if you're okay,
You just smile and say of course.
Someday hoping someone will not fall for the lying,
Everyone knows on the inside...

Blood is pretty..
The vast excellence of my misunderstood life,
It could all end with an oh so slight touch between my skin and a knife.
I ponder the silence between the leaves and the trees,
I listen for the sounds of the birds and the bees.
Is there much of a difference when god turned water to wine...
Then when I take this small bullet,
I'll make the white walls, red and divine?
The once white walls are stained red,
So pretty and clear...
Now you see my brains and the wall, are so near.
They have something in common you see,
The wall was plain before it met...
It could all end with an oh so slight touch between my skin and a knife.
I ponder the silence between the leaves and the trees,
I listen for the sounds of the birds and the bees.
Is there much of a difference when god turned water to wine...
Then when I take this small bullet,
I'll make the white walls, red and divine?
The once white walls are stained red,
So pretty and clear...
Now you see my brains and the wall, are so near.
They have something in common you see,
The wall was plain before it met...

A night to forget.
The night was bleak,
I could barely speak.
He moved his hand up my shirt,
I refused but that didn't work.
I didn't know where I was, the time, or the place.
I'd rather be anywhere else, hell or space.
He put his other hand on my hip,
He bit my bottom lip...
"Relax, it will be okay."
I still deny it to this very day.
I tried to run, a call for help.
I tried to scream, but the lump in my throat was growing bigger,
He had a gun to my head...
I screamed "pull the trigger!"
Live with this the rest of my life?
Death...
I could barely speak.
He moved his hand up my shirt,
I refused but that didn't work.
I didn't know where I was, the time, or the place.

Just another suicide poem...
My only option is suicide,
The tides are high.
I can drown or I can sink,
There's not any other way to think.
The blame was pushed on me,
That's the only thing the people see.
This next month will be hell,
If I don't tap out & ring the bell.
"Hold on & be strong"
Says absolutely no one.
They all know I'm left for death,
I should enjoy my last breath.
I'm telling you the story,
But not the details.
I'm going to have to kill myself,
Everything else has failed.
A good night turned bad,
Now they are all going...
The tides are high.
I can drown or I can sink,
There's not any other way to think.
The blame was pushed on me,
That's the only thing the people see.
This next month will be hell,
If I don't tap out & ring the bell.

Everything else has failed.

Poetic start
Poetic heart,
Poetic from the start.
The world tries to change her,
With everything she's not.
Sometimes it works,
But no one has the slightest clue.
Do you ever ask yourself,
What's the real you?
She knows.
With her poetic heart.
She thinks all day,
Things she wishes she could dream away.
But god knows even her biggest fears,
Cannot be drowned out by those spilling tears.
Pathetic heart.
Pathetic from the start.
Always ruining things,
Claiming things that are not hers to keep.
It would all end with just one leap....

Losing You.
My blood is cold,
My face is pale.
I'm growing old,
& I'm turning stale.
I've lost my mind,
& my soul as well.
I have lost track of time,
Is that such a crime?...
I say words that I do not mean,
They are more like something in between.
His last words make my ears ring,
"I don't want to die!"
His lips sing.
I try to drown it out,
But it's all that I hear.
Everything far, everything near.
I am strong for my brothers & my mother & a few...
But god knows, if I had a bullet... I'd take my life too......
My face is pale.

Don't Let Them Know.
Tell them it was an accident,
But don't tell them it was suicide.
Make up the biggest lie,
With those pretty little fingers tied.
But keep those lips sealed,
Don't say the word "Suicide"
Let the obituary read,
"life well lived, young, but wise"
But god, don't speak that simple word of Suicide.
You may live your whole life vein,
I don't care if you're ashamed.
By now, I'm dead and gone.
With the wind, you'll hear my voice.
When those bright lights shine, you'll see my soul.
That exceedingly loud ringing in your ears,...
But don't tell them it was suicide.
Make up the biggest lie,
With those pretty little fingers tied.
But keep those lips sealed,
Don't say the word "Suicide"
Let the obituary read,

But god, don't speak that simple word of Suicide.
You may live your whole life vein,

You are free, my child.
The most peaceful place in the world...
Your mind dear, you can be anywhere you want to be.
In a nation so free.
Far, near, where ever your heart desires.
My child, let me tell you...
In your mind, there should be no fears.
Hold your heart near, hold your own heart my dear...
Don't give everything up so fast,
Please, make it last.
You have your whole life to make mistakes.
You have your whole life to learn the hard way.
If you think you have to learn now,
You are terribly mistaken my dear.
Just hold your heart close, & have no fears, my...

Heaven or Hell?
In that short period of time I couldn't explain my excitement to see the end of the tunnel.
There was a light, it was brighter than anything I had ever saw.
I was blinded by the rays of light that came straight upon my oblivious green eyes.
I felt a exceedingly powerful heat as the light hit my arms.
I have never felt anything other than the coldness of my heart.
I have never saw anything other than my own shadow.
I have never heard anything other than the beating of my own heart.
I knew my journey was coming to an end.
It left me a rather empty feeling....
