POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Bestfriend
Always there when I need you
ever since the clock stroke two
made my days beautiful and ugly
helpful through it all
when everyone was against me
you stayed and put me in glee
I feel like I'm myself
just with you and no one else
you understand me when
no one else would, been with
me through thick and thin
saved me when I was drowning
I was pounding,
on the door of mercy,
when there was controversy
you stopped it in one hit
you took my bullshit and buried it away
you have the honor of being
my best friend

you took my bullshit and buried it away

Pancake Generation
When I woke up, I went downstairs
Just to find out there was no one there,
Except for a plate of french toast,
I opened the drawer, looked for a pan,
But i lost my balance and broke my hand
I guess I won't be getting my flapjacks
Its the overflow of the cereal bowl
and now I've lost my spoon,
and my stomach can not stay silent
And we'll be a pancake generation
eating because of your great cooking mom
your great cooking mom
and we'll eat all the waffles tonight
because they are so delicious mom
so delicious mom

Inspirational Dance
Who needs inspiration?
I make my first step.
I took a leap, a hop, a jump.
I felt like flying, flying free
away from the mystery of me.
You can change your fate,
and make a date with destiny.
You can follow your dreams
unless your enemy tears them apart
Personality has pros and cons
yawn, yawn, yawn
dream of making dreams come true
but they fail each time.
Fears verses Dreams
fears come alive
tearing down
creating no ambition
of being crowned.
A prince being a king
who married a princess
his goals are complete...

Society's Broken
Girls and Boys,
all have ambitions,
skinny, tall, muscular,
the perfect human being.
If you are ugly, no friends, but a true heart,
if you are pretty, tons of friends, but fake.
Society ruins the minds of girls and boys,
destroying the innocent mind,
from kind and caring words,
to words of curse and hurt.
We always told ourselves
we would not become this way if we tried.
But, our nation has changed,
we were once the best,
but now we are none but less,
we aren't the greatest ones anymore,
there are others to...

A King Who Knew No Love
In the darkest of days
no one dares to say
of the time where a king once ruled.
He had power and money,
but he craved for one thing most.
To love and be loved in returned.
Some say he had no emotion of love,
others say he threw it away one faithful day,
a day of when he lost what he held close.
He found many women to make his wives
laid in bed with them each night,
but not one could satisfy his needs.
It was more of lust than love,
but it made him feel whole.
He searched in all lands,
In the unknown and...

Human
A Human Being
built with all these kinks and quirks
stored with emotions
we have muscles that gives us strength
we have bones to make us move.
We don't have strings
we can go anywhere we want,
see anyone we want
make our own choices,
but we have stops,
we have drops
we have those victory moments
and those crashing fatalities
We cry when something happens,
we smile when we fall in love.
Our anger gets us in the least expected moment
Our memories can be the greatest
or the worse pain or...

You
I just wanna be with you
through the hardships
through the arguments
in the bad times
in the good times
when we fight
when we laugh
taking funny pictures
skipping through the rain
playing sports and I totally failing
then we would just laugh
even in the times where I miss you,
but I have your texts still stuck in my phone.
I want to have those silly conversations
where I would probably choke on soda
because you would know how much I love Pepsi
I wouldn't care what anyone would think of us
because I know that really all we...

One Word
I've let go
I wanted to show
that it was all an act
where you just play your part
then again the role fit perfectly
but slowly we had to learn our lines
so we can shine on that stage
one misleading word
can change the scene
to a tragic death
or a happy ending
just one word

Abused By Thoughts
Some days all i want to do is cry.
The random moments when certain words target my mind.
They tell me things i never want to hear,
but they just plague my mind,
they are stuck,
never leaving.
Attacking my inner mind,
sometimes, i don't know who i am anymore.
Through texts,
through messages
was I just being used,
was I a toy that you can just play with?
I move on
I just shine that little smile
During the night I suffer
Crying, wondering what did I do wrong?
I thought everything was okay, but I guess not.
I...

A Little Story
Words,
Pain,
Feelings,
Drama,
Everyone here tells the story,
but they don't read the book.
They tell the summary of the story,
but it gets put the wrong way.
You don't know which direction to go.
Up,
Down,
Left,
Right,
It's all confusing,
mind blowing,
painful actions,
does anybody know how the story is going to end?

Fear
The Crash Of Bowling Pins
Flashes of Fireworks I See
It Seems Like Everyone Is Getting Strikes And Celebrating
I Avoid It, I Despise It.
I'll Have That Panic Attack
But No One Saves Me.
They Think Its No Problem, But I Know Better.
It Will Make The Sound Of "Crash!" and "Boom!"
And I'll Scream.
I'll Shake.
No Smiles
Just Tears
That Will Fall
From My Eyes.

Who Are You?
I met you
we were just strangers
then we became the best of friends
you completed me.
As time continued
you changed into someone I once knew
we changed our status
friends, then to strangers
then to last resort
enemies.
I don't know who you are anymore
nor I do I want to know.
