POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my love.
Words.
Words are such a crazy and powerful thing.
But see the only thing words can't do, is change what happens.
So you can tell me.
I won't amount to anything,
Even scream it to me.
But it's up to me what happens next.
Your words are just sounds,
Drifting around me.
So I can tell you,
I'll be a hero someday.
And you can laugh in my face.
But that's okay.
Cause it's up to me what happens next.
And I will be a hero one day.
To my little girl I'll be a hero...
And I'll be exactly what I want to be.
Words are evil and words are powerless...
But see the only thing words can't do, is change what happens.
So you can tell me.
I won't amount to anything,
Even scream it to me.
But it's up to me what happens next.
Your words are just sounds,
Drifting around me.
So I can tell you,
I'll be a hero someday.
And you can laugh in my face.
But that's okay.
Cause it's up to me what happens next.
And I will be a hero one day.
To my little girl I'll be a hero...
And I'll be exactly what I want to be.
Words are evil and words are powerless...

The truth...
I'd tell you the truth...
But I'd rather fade away.
Sinking in the sorrows,
I thank you for the pain.
Cause it made me what I am today.
And I'll never beg
Nor ask for forgiveness.
Cause I've already been forgiven,
By my biggest enemy.
Who is no one other than me.
And I'd tell you the truth about who I am.
But I'd rather walk away.
Cause I've never been given the time of day.
And I see why.
It's because you're better than I.
Even though everything you are is a lie.
And I forgive everyone.
Cause hatred is an emotion you'll...

Pinocchio isn't a sinner #2
There's a lot people can't see,
When it's behind a closed door.
So please don't tell me you understand...
I'll always feel a bit of my past,
Here with me.
And the Pinocchio in me,
Stares back when I look in the mirror.
And my lips start to whisper.
"Are you man enough"
- Yes, I'm man enough.
When it's behind a closed door.
So please don't tell me you understand...
I'll always feel a bit of my past,
Here with me.
And the Pinocchio in me,
Stares back when I look in the mirror.
And my lips start to whisper.
"Are you man enough"
- Yes, I'm man enough.

Liar, Liar.
The worst type of liar's,
Are the ones that are aware of what their doing.
The ones that know exactly how much their lie,
Is going to hurt someone.
But they look you dead in the eye,
And repeat it again.
Their lie only benifit's themselves.
They don't see the pain they will cause anyone else,
Cause they don't care.
As long as it's not them,
Who believes the lie.
See there is a difference between
Telling a lie,
Then telling the truth.
And telling a lie and continuing on with it anyways.
There is the common liar,...

My favourite side to me.
I'm no good with tools,
I can't craft you something special with my hands.
Cause I'm a words man.
And I can craft just about anything with words.
Make something beautiful?
Something sad?
Something special,
With my brain.
Even though I am a little insane.
I can bring a story together,
Like folding paper planes.
And they fly around you and I.
Until our thoughts colide.
I work with words daily.
I rarely speak,
But often think.
Inside my brain is paradise to me,
As I search through my thoughts.
It's a special feeling for me....

Pinocchio isn't a sinner.
Someone once said to me.
You're really religious aren't you?
Cause I have the word pray tattooed on my wrist
And a cross on my arm with the wise words.
"Only God can judge me".
Cause only God can judge us in the end.
That's the only opinion that matters,
In the end.
As for pray,
I got that cause I pray a lot.
Being a young kid and transgender,
I'd pray every night.
On my knee's before my mum laid me down to sleep.
I would pray.
Saying lord in the morning,
Please make me a boy.
I won't sin and I won't lie.
Anything...

Karma.
Karma,
You laugh at someone,
And someone's gonna laugh at you.
You tell a lie expect to be told a worse one.
You cheat,
Expect to be cheated on.
Karma happens when you least expect it.
Could take days, months, years.
It happens when you have no idea,
It's even coming.
Building up in grey clouds,
Hovering above your head.
See the thing about karma is,
Whatever you do.
You get it back ten fold.
And there is no escaping karma.
So don't even bother.
You get what you deserve.
And even though you know all this,...
You laugh at someone,

Home...
I still breathe the same air
But this air has become like smoke.
And it's clogging my lungs.
It's getting harder for me to breathe,
With each tomorrow that comes.
And time still goes on.
So I sit here in the rain,
Under stormy grey clouds.
Cause all I see is pain
But this is home.
And I still feel like I'm drowning,
As the words try to make their way up my throat.
Words that I never said.
The words I will never be able to say.
But time still goes on.
As you make your way to the end of my street,
I cave in defeat.
So I...

My friend...
Sipping on some water,
All comfy in my bed.
I had just finished listening to the songs,
We once sang together...
The old stuff from when we were just kids.
Every time I listen to them it makes me grin.
Laying down in the dark,
It's now half past one.
I open my phone to send you a text.
I start typing,
With the phone light beaming in my face.
I come to realize you're not here.
The grin disappears from my face.
You're not home anymore.
You're now somewhere,
I can't reach with a phone call or a text.
And my room becomes so silent....
All comfy in my bed.

Wake me up.
I'm in a rut.
Sinking into a hole of regret.
Thinking I'll never find my feet,
Again.
This is something I can't defeat.
It's getting hard to speak,
Time keeps getting away from me.
I can't keep living life inside my mind,
Comfortable in my thoughts.
Conversations with myself.
Discussing how I felt,
About this and that.
I need to wake up.
Don't I?
But I can't get out of this day dream.
Everything's so painful,
To talk about.
Can't hold my head high enough,
To reach over that wall.
The wall between the imaginary and...

I'll take a moment to reminisce.
And I've been left for dead,
Cause all you do is prey on me.
And to see your face is something I've come to dread.
Bullying me...
And I know you're only hoping to see,
Me fail.
But your words are getting a little frail.
And now my face is becoming pale,
From holding my breath.
So I don't let loose the words spinning in my head.
And no words could hurt more than my fist,
But what would that fix?
So I sit back cracking the bone in my wrist.
Eye's painted red,
With words so evil it makes me shiver.
Words that will repeat in my head...
Cause all you do is prey on me.
And to see your face is something I've come to dread.

Time.
Time is key.
Time is what you need,
It's what you breathe.
In time,
You can be...
Anything you want to be.
It just takes a little time.
I've spent years of my life,
Killing time.
Sleeping a day away,
Just to pass it.
Now I'm on the other side,
I crave it.
I want to stop time,
Rewind...
Slow down...
Play..
Now my life goal is to use it wisely.
I've taken advantage of time.
Treated it as if it were my enemy.
Cause I didn't mind,
Moments passing me by.
Missing out on chances.
We all will die,
It's...
