POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Just read my stuff, it explains better than this...
let me away
Been stuck feeling too in between
How far can this one drop me?
All that I hope
Is that it's lower than low
So I can see everything float away
CREATE! from The Pain!
SUBDUE! The Strain!
Feel it take you away
Down to that special place
Of being numb
and feeling nothing from your brain
Just let me away, and be done..
I Don't care for the stimulant
give me a depressant
I want to be low
Forget my hopes
And live in the now
CREATE! From, The PAIN!
and SUBDUE! The STRAIN!
Just let me fade
Let me away, to...

a name like yours
Every time I go to write
Your face floods my mind
Like the most bitter storm
That brings the sweetest hardship
like a bedded garden, kept sweetest with a patch of roses
With thorns that inject with the most confusing venom
That I simply can't resist..
A popular name like yours is of course everywhere
And im stuck in the lurching air
Looking down at the world at a distorted angle
Where all I can see is a shellfish angel
That used to be us
But now causes nothing but death, and destruction
We've became what we vowed to never be

anti society
I'm all fucked up and tweaked
I wish that they'd bypass me
Cause I'm a, defective reject
Sceptical suspect
HEY! ANTI!
YEAH! SOCIETY!
I'm a reject!
Born with a mission
Do nothing and so much less
Convict the all too straight
and fucking burn all the rest
HEY! ANTI!
SOCIETY!
Born a reject
Became a suspect, for you
I wouldn't want to learn what's right
I'd rather Fuck up and die
Life's too short to sit and wait
For a ship that's never gonna sail....

riot
Tear down the statues, burn out the sun
The clock is ticking down one by one
Blow out the windows, strip down the walls
Fuck authority! Cuz now we make the calls
Put on you real face, I'll bring a front
Screw pronunciation, I'm gonna say what I want
Don't be scared to burn
Destruction of property is the least of our concern
Don't speak! I wouldn't blame you either
Silence! the dreams of the believers
Put forth! An image of fear
for no one in the right mind would dare come here!
Burn down the capital, tear down the flags...

lost
What can I say that hasn't been said before?
Am I just a copy of another unoriginal who're?
Am I just a ticket among thousands in a hat
Just waiting to be picked
To be hit with inspiration?
Am I burning out?
Or just fading away?
Filled with doubt?
Or overdosed on dismay?
Too much to call what is already mine my own...
What I had is no longer mine
I go through life standing in a line
Waiting for something
When I know nothing is in my everlasting
But I try for some reason
Is there a force pushing me?
Is it the...

she
She sits in her chair
Counting years like days
thinking to herself
"maybe tomorrow I might change, or the next day"
Or the next day.
She wonders around her jaded room
With a southward facing attitude
Thinking that there's nothing in the world
That can make her smile
She wants to get out
Wants to run away
It's all she thinks about
Because she cannot stay
Not for another day.
Her feelings explode, and her will erodes
She wonders why she has to keep walking these roads
When deep down she knows that they...

further than I've ever known
Don't let me feel, I want to be numb
because I can't face what I've become
More than anything I can handle
And I've lost my grip on everything I know
So here I stand in a gallery
And I'm surrounded by the dead and wanting
And they urge me further, further than I've ever known
The light at the end of the tunnel is going dim
Soon all hope will be out
And as I wonder through these chasms
Of empty rooms and lost souls
I feel an urge to follow them down
and they urge me further and further
Further than I've ever known...
Now I am...

my girl
Well my girl, well my girl?
"What'd she say?"
She said she woke up in the arms of another, guy.
Without a memory of where or why.
And in the night, I feel the cold wind blow.
And the trees still whisper her name.....
Well my girl, my girl?
Tell me why?
Why do you hate everything about, yourself?
Why does everyday seem like hell?
Why do you and I always run to the bottle?
Why can't we stop, my girl?
Well excuse me if you care even if you really don't.
I've got some words I'd really like to say, so.
Tell me where? ...

i am unstable
I don't look forward to my next breath.
I do adore the thought of my death.
The thought of venturing into the unknown, no looking back.
Makes me want to jump, or just to relapse.
Just a hit, or a drink can't really hurt.
And a scratch from a blade won't make me squirt.
I just want a release, from all my strain.
That will never refrain.
I take a drag off my cigarette.
Blow smoke in the winds.
I think of my long lost Juliet.
And I begin to cringe.
She left me for nothing, for one tiny mistake.
It wasn't meant for her to see,...

In the valley
In the valley, of my shadows and dreams
I think of life, and what all of this means
Here the animals run free
And my demons begin to flee
In the valley...
Here is where I lay to rest
And I always feel the best
Will this feeling always last?
Or will I lose my grasp, on reality?
These questions in my head
Lay down with me in my bed
At home is where my lady rests
These hills are always my best bet
In this dip I feel at ease
No more, begging or trying to please
I never get those shaky knees
For I'm sitting down, in the...

I'm your ghost now
The warm and calm atmosphere is broken by my chilling presence
I am calling out to you
I am ignored in the shadows, and in light I am feared and ran from
therefore I call to you
the one that accepts the darkness,
Because that's what we are inside
You fill the void left by my decaying flesh,
I am now mere energy with nowhere to go
And you see something different
A lost soul, searching for warmth and comfort
You give me consolation from the damnation of being trapped
I now have an outlet, coming to you is my release
I only long for the day you...

just a thought
Is life a perception?
Or a stopping point?
We are made to believe in an afterlife
So really we are just continued beyond this existence
For the rest of time
So is mortality like the time of birth and infancy?
Because the young of a species learns what is presented
And we are learning every day of what is to come
And how to live our lives, when afterlife is yet to come
So in our journey of existence,
We are the children of our creator
This is our time of birth
Our time to learn and find out who we are
So really we are all just babies
Or a stopping point?
We are made to believe in an afterlife
So really we are just continued beyond this existence
For the rest of time
So is mortality like the time of birth and infancy?
Because the young of a species learns what is presented
And we are learning every day of what is to come
And how to live our lives, when afterlife is yet to come
So in our journey of existence,
We are the children of our creator
This is our time of birth
Our time to learn and find out who we are
So really we are all just babies
