POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
... lost love
trying to level out the pros and cons ...
Should I stay or should I leave? ...
Is it worth the pain?
The worry?
The heartbreak?
Is love worth the cost?
Is it worth the chance of getting left with nothing but empty promises and bad memories?
His presence still lingers here...
Haunting my every dreams.
As I'm trying to forget he ever existed.
I can't help but wonder ...
was I better off then or now?

My Life
Fears ...
Too many to count
Tears ...
Enough to cleanse this drought
Life ...
So rough
Time is flying by ...
Man, this shit is tough.
13 years old introduced to meth
Realizing now it's the cause of my own death.
Everything turned sour ...
As each second passed by.
I'm trying to find faith in a "higher power"
To release the pain...
And rid myself of all this regret.
Chained to temptation ...
No wonder I can't rest.
The world around me is crashing,
Fading...

The Old Me
The Old Me
As I sit here on my couch
I look back and see my reflection in the window
I take notice of this person
Someone I don't even know
I try to look back even further
Trying to figure out where I went wrong
Remembering all my mistakes
Regretting each one of them
So many bridges burnt
All to ashes
Somewhat like my hopes and dreams
All because I lost my better judgment
And wanted to live rule free
Look where it got me ...
Reminiscing on the past
I realize now I literally smoked my life away...

The Mind Of A Closet Tweaker
I'm living a lie ...
Wearing a mask,
Avoiding the truth,
Running from my past.
I'm so ashamed.
Guilt ices the cake of my heart.
I wish I could undo the mistakes I've made.
Given the chance,
I honestly don't know where I'd even start.
I'm living two separate lives ...
I've never felt so lost.
I'm trying so hard to prove them wrong.
But I can't control this inner want ...
I have an undying need for drugs.
Not knowing right from wrong ...
I act on my impulses.
My better judgment is long gone. ...

Sweet Persuasion
Well, it's nice to finally meet you.
I've been waiting for your call.
I've noticed you've been crying,
And I've watched you pace the halls.
Whatever has been hurting you,
I can make it disappear.
You know you have nothing to lose,
Nothing to live for, nothing to fear.
Thank you, for your invention.
I'll be sure not to leave your side.
We'll become very fast acquainted.
My naive child, there's no use trying to hide.
I should probably introduce myself.
I am your very own addiction.
But, you can not...

The Voice of Crystal Meth
Listen to me.
I'm your commander.
Fall down to your knees.
Listen closely ...
You love the sex,
You love the drugs,
You hate life itself.
Why do you stand strong?
You have nothing in your so called life,
You act just like your mom.
You always come short,
So you give into my calls.
You think you're perfect?
I see only flaws!
You look so pathetic
But I could care less
You are stuck in my trap
You must play by my rules
Every order that comes from my lips you must do
I know you...
I'm your commander.
Fall down to your knees.

The Light of Truth
I keep giving into temptation,
listening to the devils serenity.
Easily persuased.
How could I turn down such a good offer?
"Do what you want and not what you must"
Sounds too good to be true ...
There is always a bargain.
Its sad how willing you can be to trade part of your soul
for a glimpse of a false reality.
The weak will always give in
But the strong won't fall for sweet blasphemy.
Shines on me the light of truth.
He hands me choices,
I have to seek within myself to choose.
God has given me the answer.
I just have...

Mommy dearest
My mind is growing weary
as I sit here with a swollen face ...
My mother likes to beat me,
but this time I put her in her place.
She threw her fist at my face,
my sister was in tears.
This time I wasn't going to sit still,
So I forgot about my fears.
I pounded my fist against her face and
ripped out chunks of hair.
Tore her necklace off her chest,
but fuck I didn't care.
I'm sick of getting treated like shit,
I'm done getting walked all over.
I let my anger run free
and before I knew it my sister was infront of me.
I lost...

Back in Reality
I gave up on the drug ...
or did the drug give up on me?
It's crystal clear ...
but I'm too blind to see.
The light in me has faded away
I'm losing a little more of myself everyday.
I just want these thoughts to go away ...
so I can live up to my expectations
and have just one good day.
But the thought of the drug,
how it makes feel
these memories get stuck in my mind,
every second I'm just wasting time.
I could score a sack
and get up for a day and a half
but then what???
Deal with coming down ...
get thrown...

Lost
I'm stuck in this hell,
gasping for air.
The sad thing is
no one seems to even care.
I want to scream for help
but I don't have the drive
to even try ...
I just want to be alone
fading away slowly,
but at least its on my own.
I can see why they all gave up,
I would too.
But I'm trying to change,
what else can I do???
I'm searching for that light
to guide me to do what's right.
I still can't give up on me ...
I have to fight!
I just need someone to reassure me
that everythings going to be...

Move On . . .
Move On . . .
Life moves on . . .
Time goes by.
No more tears,
I'm too strong to cry.
Even though I hurt deep inside,
I need to handle the pressure
and enjoy the ride.
Live with no regrets,
have more pride.
Keep my head held up high,
spread my wings
and just fly.
Accept when you're wrong
and fight for what's right.
Life is too short . . .
so don't hide from the light.
It's time to leave the dark
and notice what's in plain site.
Your future is bright!
So fuck the past,
MOVE ON,
and give yourself...
Life moves on . . .
Time goes by.

Are You Satisfied???
Are You Satisfied???
Each day I'm living,
I feel like it's my last.
I can't handle the pressure,
I'm about to crack.
"You whore!"
"You loser!!"
"You drug abuser!!!"
All the pain,
building up inside.
I'd rather smoke some dope,
then let my emotions run wild.
Wearing this mask,
hiding from the world,
living in my past.
I'm so confused,
I feel so alone.
I hurt deep,
it hits the bone.
You want the pain to go away?
You want everything to be okay?
Just light it up,
watch it...
