POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A poet, lol. I'm no poet, I can't spell, I cant write, never really went to school. I'm just here to try and express my thoughts and maybe find others who can relate.
The Evil Drink
It Calls Me,
Day And Night,
It Calls Me,
A Voice At The Back Of My Head,
A Nagging Thumping Voice At The Back Of My Head,
I Look Away,
I Try And Hide My Face,
Hoping It Will Go Away..
Hoping It Will See,
I’m Trying To Be Strong,
But It Eats Away At Me..
The Afternoon
Tap, Tap, Tap..
The Voice Is Back,
Calling,
Pursuing,
Wearing Me Down,
Breaking Down The Defences
That Were Standing So Well..
My Barriers Now Falling,
My Army Defeated,
My Guard Now Down,
My Will Power Depleted..
The Evening Has...

Last Sunday
Last Sunday I had 1001 things to do, but I just couldnt get up and do them. I had no motivation, energy, stimulas, nothing :o(
I also took on board some critisism about not having to make every poem rhyme so hopefully this came out ok.. First attempt guys so be gentle :o)
Sitting Exhausted
Shackled In Chains,
Desperate,
Hopeless,
Hooks Covering My Restraint Body,
Trying So Hard To Break Free..
Every Day Chores Seem Like A Mountain Climb,
Molten Steel Running Through My Body
However Hard I Try To Move
A Force Steam Rolls My Soul

The Bully
A Deep Sick Feeling
Like A Size Nine Boot,
Inflicting Internal Bleeding,
Vomiting,
Black Eyes,
The Pain No One Could See,
The Physical Scars
Across My Body..
A Crushing Sensation
That Squeezed At My Brain,
Like A Punch In The Head
Causing Me Mental Strain..
I Endured It All,
And As Hard As I Tried,
To Find An Excuse,
For Me To Just Hide..
But They Found Me Each Day
“All Acting So Fuckin Hard,
With Their Mates In Tow
To Act As Their Guard”
Well What Would I Give
To Run...

The Past
Remembering Back..
Many Years Ago,
To The Suffering,
The Pain,
The Heart Stopping Hatred
That Drove Me Insane..
I Was A Zombie,
So Out Of My Head,
The Pills,
The Drink,
The Drugs,
The Shrink,
I Thought They Were Helping
To Try And Release Me,
From The Harrowing Hell
That Burned
Deep Inside Me..
Hypnotic Trance,
Shuffling Into Each Room,
I Hold My Arms Out Wide,
To Stop Me From Falling,
My Dark Evil Spirits
I Still Hear Them Calling..
I’ve Made It Back To My Room,
And Open The Door,...

Mirrors
My Mirrors At Home,
All Ganging Up On Me,,
Plotting,
Planning,
Talking,
Scamming..
There Out To Get Me,
They Fill Me With Dread,
There Plotting My Downfall,
Messing With My Head..
I Look Into Them When I Get Ready Each Day,
But The Things That I See,
Are Just Dark And Just Grey,
There Making Me See ,
Just What Isn’t There,
Wrinkles And Lines,
Scruffy Brown Hair..
As I Walk Into Work,
I Double Take At The Window,
My Reflection Stares At Me,
Hardly Recognisable,
Who Is That Person,
Who Can...

My "Friends"
My Voice Rendered Useless
I Scream And I Shout,
I Try To Call,
Ask For Help,
But Nothing Comes Out..
You All See Me Standing There
But You Choose To Ignore Me,
You Choose To Walk On,
You Choose Not To See Me..
I Beg For Your Help,
I Just Wish They’d See,
The Pain And The Anger,
That There Causing Me..
They Look At Me Once,
Then Turn Away,
Why Won’t They Help,
Why Won’t They Stay..
I Feel So Diseased,
Dirty, Repulsive,
Grubby, Disgusting,
Filthy, Revolting..
They Don’t Want To...

The Mask
The Mask Covers My Face,
Covers The Real Me,
I Hide Behind It
So No One Can See..
It Hides The Pain,
The Suffering,
The Stomach Churning,
Depression I’m In,
The Constant Expression
Covering My Face,
Is One Of Buoyant
Jubilation,
Purpose And Grace,
But Underneath The Mask
And The False Exterior,
Lies A Crippling
Destructive Condition,
That Eats You Away From The Inside
Without Any
Sign Of Remission
Underneath The Mask
The Pain Eats Me Away,
But No One Can Tell
No One Can Say,...

My World
Sitting In
My World,
Looking Out From Within,
I Envy The People
And The World
That There In,
Looks So Fuckin Normal
And So Happy To Me,
I Want It All
I Want To Be Free,
Free From The Voices
The People I See,
The Whispers,
The Talking,
The Moving,
The Stalking..
My Lights Are My Shields
They Protect Me,
From My Demonic,
Evil Satanic,
Misery.
Thinking They’ve Won,
And Truely Messed Up My Head
You Realise The Battle Is Dead
Your World Comes Tumbling Down,
Crashing To The Floor,
You Realise...

Falling
I Walk
Through The Valley
Of The
Shadow Of Death..
Is A Verse
That I Just Read.
Its Meant To
Help And Comfort You
Bring Worries To A Head.
Its Meant To Give You Strength And Courage
To Help You
Through The Day,
Its Meant To
Make Your Dreams Come True
And Worries Fade Away..
I Continued Reading Full Of Hope
The Verse Could Pull Me Through,
It Tells Me That I’m Not Alone
I Do Hope This Is True.
I’m Meant To Fear No Evil
Not Meant To Be Alone,
For He Should Be Beside Me
To Safely...

My Baby Girl
My daughter is 16 in a couple of weeks but I havent spoken or seen her in nearly a year.
It's nearly time,
not long now,
16 years passed,
still not sure how..
the time has gone,
oh so fast,
I sit and think
about the past
the things we did,
the places we went,
everyday was heaven sent,
football, hockey,
every school play,
I couldnt wait
to spend the day,
watching you
and cheering you on,
in my head
a chant, a song,
whatever the weather,
whatever the day,
I was with you
home and away,...

Me And My Demons
This is how I'm feeling after my marriage breakup, going from a happy family of 4 to slowly losing my family one by one.
We Were A Foursome
Together As One,
Laughing And Joking,
And Having Fun,
At The Foot
Of The Rainbow,
Where We Stood Proud,
Jumping And Playing
And laughing Out Loud.
But Then Something Happened,
The Four Became Three,
Im Still Not Sure Why,
Perhaps It Was Me..
Time Moved Along
The Rainbow Still Bright
Gradually Without Warning,
I Endured A Fright,
As Time...
