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.
Not Much Of A Fairy Tale
I want to run to you just to see if you're real.
I want the moment where we proclaim how we feel.
I want to touch your face, see you smile, and hear your voice.
I want to know the truth about everything and have a choice.
I want the happiness of getting to you.
I want to feel the way I used to.
I no longer believe this fairy tale.
My heart is genuine, it's not for sale.
You took it and threw it to the ground.
You should know karma comes back around.
You'll get everything you deserve and then some.
My heart want to know where this is...

Unable To Stop
She's starting to hate everything she writes.
It seems like she's never going to get it right.
She's been locked away for too long.
Her confidence is no longer strong.
Where is Superman when you need him?
She can't accept that this is the end.
She wants to stop writing and finally give in.
How can she give up everything she worked hard on?
She's letting her insecurities get the best of her.
Shouldn't low self esteem somehow have a cure?
She's waiting for someone to fix everything inside.
Freeing herself is the only way she'll glide. ...

How Is It Funny?
Maybe that little girl should have killed herself.
It would have been easier than hiding the way she felt.
It hurts her to know that she found another childhood bully.
It hurts her to know that no one ever likes her fully.
Her best friend used to pick on her in elementary school.
What did she have to do to make herself be cool?
She always feels out of place.
She always hates looking at her face.
It hurts to know that you were on of them.
One that made her hate herself back then.
Why do you find it so darn funny?
It wasn't...

Technology Blow Up
Do you all know that one saying?
The one that says we should live like we're dying?
Instead, why don't we live like we're never going to die?
Expose the truth and don't ever try to tell a lie.
Stop being afraid and chase after what you want.
Stop regretting mistakes and pursue the hunt.
Don't be ashamed of what you did today.
It's secretly everything you wanted in a way.
This doesn't mean go and be a horrible person.
We really don't need this world to worsen.
Stop being selfish, greedy, complicated, and controlling.
The scars on...

Dear Dad
Dear dad, I'm so angry with you.
I don't know who else to accuse.
I thought you would fight it.
You wanted me to get pregnant.
You wanted to be a grandpa.
I went and made that possible.
Even though I did, you still left.
Is that something I have to accept?
I can't accept it at all.
I thought saving you was my call.
I thought me talking would bring you back.
Instead I left and threw it all off track.
I blame myself for letting you go.
I blame myself for hiding it below.
I want to scream as loud as I can.
I try to, but I...

Something Better
He did it on purpose, but I didn't cave.
I wasn't going to let him have his way.
I count on everyone for forever.
Too bad that won't make it last any better.
His lips on mine is a great feeling.
My feelings, I still won't be revealing.
I don't want to scare him away.
That would happen with the stupid things I say.
His smile is so cute especially when it's my doing.
His eyes are so beautiful, it's making me start believing.
When he kisses me on the forehead, I feel so safe.
Could it be that I finally found a new way?
A...

Your Opinion Doesn't Matter
Everyone makes me feel smaller and smaller.
All I ever wanted was to be kind of taller.
Emotionally taller than all the rest.
Instead, I continue to go through tests.
They put me down and spread lies.
They hurt my feelings and make me cry.
Why don't they care what's help deep inside?
Why don't they care that all I do is hide?
I hide from feeling.
I hide from revealing.
I hide from people.
The cuts won't get deeper.
I won't hide forever.
Someday I'll reach a new level.
A level where you're all left behind. ...

Nothing
I'm nothing, you say?
Well, I can always go away.
I can run and never look back.
I can count and never lose track.
Count the days that I've been gone.
Count the ways that took too long.
I'm running and I won't trip.
I'm talking and I won't slip.
You will hear what I have to say.
You will know that life doesn't go your way.
You're not going to slow me down.
You're not going to create a frown.

You Could Have Told Me
You could have told me I never mattered.
Did anyone else feel it when my world shattered?
You could have told me I wasn't good enough.
I would have settled for just a touch.
A touch from you to fix the scars.
A touch from you to take me far.
You could have told me I was annoying.
I knew my company was something you weren't enjoying.
Why hold the truth back?
Why give love that slacks?
Why say things that were never true?
Why take a cheerful girl and make her blue?
I'm so insecure and self loathing.

We Are
Why do people pretend to miss me when they know they won't?
Why do they act like they care when their chance is already blown?
We all let chances pass us by.
We all cover the truth with stupid lies.
Don't we see that this makes life worse?
It seems so bad that we feel cursed.
We do things we think we won't regret.
We create things we think we won't neglect.
We stand by friends more than family.
We put hard earned money on the line by gambling.
We put our freedom on the line by breaking the law.
We put our trust on the line by misusing our...

When You Don't Belong
Who am I to be stuck in this world?
Should I even care what this road is going toward?
I'm losing everything I worked hard on.
So many words and lines, all of it gone.
Sitting in school as if I'm going somewhere.
In reality, I'd rather be anywhere but here.
I'd rather be far away from society surrounded by nature.
I'll get more in touch with my feelings, being a creator.
Creating poems that no one will read.
Writing about a life no one else will lead.
I'm in this completely alone.
Why do I continue looking at my phone?

Could Have Done More
Nobody listens and nobody cares.
I'm all alone and nobody is there.
I try to scream, but it comes out choked.
I try to speak, but it comes out provoked.
I cry and I whine.
It's just not the time.
I blame myself, so I get angry.
He's the one I failed at saving.
I should have stayed ans woke him up.
I should have acted more grown up.
I miss him more and more each day.
In my own little world is where I stay.
We always went long periods without talking.
That's why it's so easy to continue dreaming.
I keep pretending that he's...
