POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a little black rain cloud, Save me, Cleanse me.
My Lost Love
I am sorry,
My heart is gone,
Someone ripped it out of my rib cage.
The pain of their knife,
Slicing though my lungs,
As they grab my heart,
They squeeze all the life out.
My stupidity blew it once again.
My heart is gone,
Someone ripped it out of my rib cage.
The pain of their knife,
Slicing though my lungs,
As they grab my heart,
They squeeze all the life out.
My stupidity blew it once again.

The Clock
I watch the clock,
The second hand glides smoothly,
The minute hand moving slowly,
As the hour hand moves as a snail,
On a lazy day.
The clock asks,
In the language of ticks and tocks,
What time it is.
For the clock can't see its own face.
Kinda like us who wonder,
If we are good enough.

In the Night
Can't find a light,
In your colorless world,
Holding on to the past,
Trying to finding hope.
Cant find warmth,
In your cold heart,
Love lost,
Unable to get though.
Can't find anything,
In the dark abyss,
Called the night,
The time the pain,
Comes out,
Loneliness,
Embarrassment,
Despair,
Terror,
Sorrow.
You find your-self,
Being drawn in to this abyss,
Where it's always,
Bleak and dark,
You hear the silent screams of the dead,
The ones who's love you turned down.

They
They say,
Yep I know what your thinking,
Yep your depressed,
You need help,
I strain my voice,
But in society,
I'm unacceptable,
I try to . . .
To . . . to,
Live my life,
But it's useless,
I tried.

10 Little Pills
10 little pills,
Rolling around,
I took a swig,
Then there were 9.
9 little pills,
Glinting in the light,
Chugged some more,
Then there were 8.
8 little pills,
Pale as my will,
Got a refill,
Then there was 7.
7 little pills,
Forcing them down,
Drank a bit,
Then there was 6.
6 little pills,
As deadly as can be,
Took a sip,
Then there was 5.
5 little pills,
Got to tired,
Chugged down 2,
Then there was 3.
3 little pills,
Tiny as can be,
Emptied the cup,

Long Gone
I walked out the door,
I hear you cry,
Down the street,
I hear you call,
Yet you say it,
Like a threat.
Walking away,
Away from my troubles,
You said I could leave,
You thought I was weak,
I left you,
Cause you said it your self,
I could leave,
I was dumb,
Now you pay the price,
If I see you again,
I won't forget,
You said you'll do anything,
Send me to the hospital.
Even electro-shock therapy,
To get me,
Yet you'll never know me.
I try to see,
Your logic,
In this game of strategie,...

Inprisoned
My feelings,
I write them down,
With paper and pen,
I write.
In the dark,
Hiding in the shadows,
Chained by fear,
I'm in denial,
When you see me,
And I see you,
I cry inside,
Thinking that the hum died,
The hum of fear.
I sink to my knees,
In silent prayer,
To whom,
I don't care,
Anyone who can save me,
Save me from my dreadful prison.
As my hero,
Draws near,
He raises his sword,
Above his head,
And strikes,
To my surprise,
I open my eyes,
To...

The Shadows
As you're dragged,
Dragged from reality,
Into the darkness,
Your choking on the bitter smoke,
The bitter smoke of your words,
The pain of many,
Many you've hurt,
Their pain is your pain,
Your pain is growing by the second.
Tears roll down you face,
Leaving a trail of grime,
All the trouble you caused,
I told you who I was,
But I'm sorry for bringing you into my hell hole,
As the pain resides you ask,
"Please let me go."
I have to say no.
My suppression of depression,
My fault of severing you all,

Who am I? (Lies)
They call me delusional,
Seeing unseen things,
Telling me I'm wrong,
That's it's a perfect world.
I'm waiting,
Waiting for someone to save me,
Save me from those poisoned words,
Called lies,
They're not worried,
They don't care,
Their lies mixing with my reason,
I'm about to give in.
If they don't care about me,
They can't have me.
I won't be that perfect person,
Just for you,
I'm an outcast,
Hated by many,
Disappointment to others,
But those who are my friends,
Try to protect me,
From what I know,...

No Way Back.
Two ways in the beginning,
Light and Dark,
Yin and Yang,
Life and Death,
No way back,
It's
Life or Death,
Yin or Yang,
Light or Dark,
Where to go?
Where am I anyway?
Where are you going?
1)Endless Realm of Day.
Or
2)The Abyss,The Oblivian

Panic Now, Fear Later
As the storm of Sorrow brews,
Your courage dwindles,
Your foe is upon you,
You tremble,
Trying to hide,
Feeling the urge to flee,
Yet you're planted,
You can't move,
Facing some thing to overwhelming,
That even I can't face,
Try as you might to fight,
You fail to conquer,
Your fear,
Fear your personal,
Weakness.
It's anything.

Hiding This War
The darkness,
The cloak I use,
So often,
To conceal this shameful . . .person,
This person who doesn't care about this,
Other side,
This other side wants revenge now,
It takes over when I’m alone,
And subsides with my fears.
In the shadow of Despair,
Blotting out my words,
Scaring me for life,
Scream as I might I won’t be heard,
Tears of pain roll silently,
Down my face.
On my cheek,
My emotions and thoughts,
Running to get help,
That's never coming.
My insides feel like they're being pulled out,
My eyes...
