POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Every poem that I have written is about how I have felt at a certain time or something that I have seen or experienced. With the exception of the two horror poems that I attempted to write. I hope to inspire and help people with my poetry.
Unable To Face Truth
I can't post the poems I write about you.
They're filled with things I regret doing.
I don't want people to read and see.
I know they won't understand or believe.
I don't want them to see inside.
It's a lot easier just to hide.
I hide the feelings and the blame.
The blame on myself and the shame.
I keep thinking I could have stopped it.
I keep thinking I could have blocked it.
I just wish that you could be here.
I know you'd take away the fear.
I don't understand, I bet they're good.
I just can't do it, or else I would.
I...

Not What I Thought
I really don't want to talk.
You're not what I thought.
I'm starting to doubt us already.
I'm sorry, I'm just a little edgy.
I didn't picture my life going this way.
I never thought a guy would want to stay.
Why would you want to be tied down to one girl?
Why would you want to give away your one world.
I know that one day you'll just go away.
there won't be anything making you stay.
I'll be the past like I have many times before.
You'll be another guy that just closes this door.

Breaking My Own Heart
Sometimes I want to just run away.
Why are these things making me stay?
I can't get over all the times I cried.
I can't get over the times you lied.
I keep telling myself that I'll be alright.
I just don't think I'll get any sleep tonight.
The thoughts bounce around in my mind.
I can't open the curtains they hide behind.
You just took my heart and ran.
You just lost your biggest fan.
I don't think I can take it anymore.
I just have to close this door.
I can't keep hiding behind the tears.
I can't let go of all those years....

Why Were You There?
Why were you there last night?
Why are you so deep inside?
The dream was horrible, but I wish it were true.
Can't you see that I can't stop missing you?
Do you not miss me too?
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know what to say anymore, I'm so confused.
I thought my feelings were something you used.
In the dream you were so mean to me.
I tried to show you and make you see.
I tried to show you what you mean to me.
You wouldn't listen and you wouldn't believe.
The only option that I had was to leave.
As soon as I was gone, you...

What We Deserve
You'll listen to the ways you did me wrong.
How dare you tell me that I don't belong?
You'll get what you deserve.
For now, I'll try to preserve.
Preserve the words for someone that listens.
I'll save them for someone who glistens.
Glistens at the thought of having me.
Someone who I can actually believe.
Someone that won't make me cry.
Someone who knows when my smile is a lie.
Someone who can see behind my eyes.
Someone who won't think about goodbyes.
I don't deserve the tears.
I deserve who's here.
One day, you'll...

Persistant Hearts
Please don't leave me awake alone at night.
I might think too much and cause a fight.
A fight between my heart and mind, that is.
Can anyone around here actually believe this?
Life is too short to not follow your wild heart.
Going in the wrong direction is the worst part.
Maybe it's all a part of growing up and learning.
Maybe it's to teach us to control our yearning.
What do we do when it's all we want?
What do we do when we're never in front?
We're on the back burner burning brightly.
Can you turn me down even a little slightly?

People Pleaser
I can't make everything right for everyone.
It disappoints me when the day is done.
I wish that I could put a smile on everyone's face.
I need to realize that this isn't my case.
I can't keep trying constantly to please everyone.
I can't make all their days as bright as the sun.
I can't fix the problems in the world.
I can't convince everyone to move forward.
I can't give their self esteem a boost.
I can't seem to let them all loose.
All of this was nothing but a big fat lie.
I'm not going to rest until I at least try.

Sad Songs, Horrible People
All these sad songs are really taking their toll on me.
I'm tired of everything the bring up, including memories.
I can't seem to stop listening to them.
Can someone do me a favor and erase them?
I dislike the people they make me remember.
All of their hears are as cold as December.
They pretended as if they actually cared.
They pretended as if they actually shared.
They said things that were nothing but lies.
They pretended like they cared when I cried.
How much make up has to be ruined?
How many evil plans are they brewing?

Not Your Problem
You changed for a little while, around a month.
Where did that go? It's everything I want.
I was scared, so I said no.
I figured the plans wouldn't go.
Why do the songs that remind me of you continue playing?
Why do I keep trying to understand what they're saying?
The words and tunes are so full of emotion.
If I didn't matter, why make a commotion?
Why go through the trouble of dedicating them to me?
Why stick around until I stopped being stupid and see?
You could have saved me all the heartbreak.
You could have stopped all of the...

Falling In Love
Falling in love is like finding your favorite candy and it being spoiled.
It's like creating the best master plan of all time and it getting foiled.
It's a surge of happiness that just quickly disappears.
It's you sitting there wondering why you're facing your fears.
You get pushed off a big cliff and you're screaming.
He catches you and suddenly it feels like you're dreaming.
His eyes are beautiful and seem to sparkle.
You roll the dice of fate, but you farkle.
He decides that you're not good enough.
He thinks being with you is...

Differences
I believed all the things you said.
I believed that my hear never bled.
I believed in you one hundred percent.
I believed you wouldn't leave, but you went.
You went and took me with you.
You made me wonder what I'm to do.
You made me realize that you're not what I want.
You made me realize that you're in back and I'm in front.
I didn't blame you for all of the tears I shed.
I didn't cry when you made me wish I were dead.
I didn't complain about all the things you did.
I didn't end it when you pushed and made me slid. ...

Moving Forward
I'm going to start smiling more.
You won't be hard to forget, I'm sure.
I'm done sitting around being depressed.
I deserve more than you give, not less.
You broke me down and made me sad.
You pushed my buttons and made me mad.
You twisted everything and left me confused.
You said sweet things, but made me feel used.
You really thought you could take my happiness?
Sorry, but you failed. I won't let it happen like this.
I'm not going to be quiet.
I'm not going to hide it.
I'm not going to hold back the real me.
I...
