POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
In one word? Traditional. Rhyme is my element And life is my muse I write to release Without blowing a fuse
Footsteps
I see my footsteps in the sand
And now that I am falling
Blades come out to slash my soul
And harsh words, mouths are calling
But you're my rock in these harsh seas
I'm anchored by your smile
It eases the strain on my mind
Just to sit with you a while
One day I'll make this up to you
I promise on my life
You've made this journey bearable
You've helped me through this strife
I see our footsteps in the sand
And if I were to stumble
You'll be there to steady me
Unassuming; smiling: humble
And now that I am falling
Blades come out to slash my soul
And harsh words, mouths are calling
But you're my rock in these harsh seas
I'm anchored by your smile
It eases the strain on my mind
Just to sit with you a while
One day I'll make this up to you
I promise on my life
You've made this journey bearable
You've helped me through this strife
I see our footsteps in the sand
And if I were to stumble
You'll be there to steady me
Unassuming; smiling: humble

Reasons To Believe
Give me a reason to believe
Not a miracle
That's not what I ask
But a reason
A glimmer of light
A spark of hope
A reason
I've always known
That life's a bitch and then you die
But never before has it been so true
Than now
Kick me when I'm down
Why don't you?
'Cause everyone else is
One more wouldn't hurt
You can use a straw to break my back
But I wouldn't notice
'Cause everything else is already shattered
I see no glimmer
No spark to relight my flame
I've lost all faith;
The little I had
...

Couldn't Care Less
Can I tell my story?
Can I tell the truth?
Can I tell my feelings?
No... that would be uncouth
I'm sorry if I bore you
Well, that's not really true
I really couldn't care less
And there's nothing you can do!

Supernova
A manic frenzy inside my chest
It threatens to bubble over
And when it does I lose control
My mind goes supernova
I hate this sense of helplessness
This pure humiliation
And knowing they can sense it all
Is fueling my frustration
It threatens to bubble over
And when it does I lose control
My mind goes supernova
I hate this sense of helplessness
This pure humiliation
And knowing they can sense it all
Is fueling my frustration

Shoes
Okay... that was truly strange
I think that I've gone mad
Even though five weeks apart
Yet still I've got it bad
From knees down but still I know
Although I'd like the rest ;D
This event's opened my eyes
Clearly, I'm obsessed
I think that I've gone mad
Even though five weeks apart
Yet still I've got it bad
From knees down but still I know
Although I'd like the rest ;D

Five Words Pt. 14
I have five words to say to you
Maybe you will comprehend
Why the fuck we do this shit
'Cause it drives me round the bend!!
What's the point in this?!?

I have five words to say to you
'Cause now you're havin' a laugh
And I'm about to flip at you
So stay out of my path
Because
I think
You're a self-righteous prick

I have five words to say to you
I must complete my task
I must know, for my damned heart's sake
And therefore I must ask
When can I tell you?

Who'll Be Missed?
Never noticed, on my own
I'm always in their shadow
No eyes shall turn my way
And where they lead I follow
"Sweet Rosaline!", nay, "Juliet!"
It changes every day
And him; more than I care to count
Have noting in his way
To them I'm no more than a slave
To kneel at their command
A hindrance holding them both back
An irritating brand
Well listen, both of you, to me
I'll take no more of this
I'm leaving - never coming back
And then we'll see who's missed
Obviously it won't be me
But what...

Paintings of Perfection
Can you see the picture?
Can you see what's there?
Can you see the image
Which to the world, they share
And can you see the fault lines
The cracks in their façades
Because underneath the paintings
Their images are marred
This is their "perfection"
Behind which they cower
Take away their projection
And you take away their power
They're not real people
Just images we see
So why aspire to be like them
When an image, you cannot be
Can you see what's there?
Can you see the image
Which to the world, they share
And can you see the fault lines
The cracks in their façades
Because underneath the paintings
Their images are marred
This is their "perfection"
Behind which they cower
Take away their projection
And you take away their power
They're not real people
Just images we see
So why aspire to be like them
When an image, you cannot be

I have five words to say to you
Though explaining will take a while
They themselves are short and sweet
And I bet they'll make you smile
Why can't you be single?!

I have five words to say to you
Though I use them every day
They make more sense when aimed at you
In each and every way
They can
You've got to be kidding.
