Poetry

You don't know me

You never have

If you think you did

Your judgement is sad

Stare me down

Like I'm the clown

Smile painted on,

But beneath is a frown

I'm so bad,

Yes I'm the fake

Beating myself up

For your own sake

Leave me alone

Please go away

I'm forgetting

You today.

Poetry

Red rose

Blue violet

Blue sky

Dark twilight

Falling leaves

Brittle trees

Cold ground,

Gentle breeze.

Poetry

Breathe in
Slowly inhale
Leave me then
Broken and frail

Priceless moments
Come and go
Is it real?
I do not know

The memory
Has slipped away
The happiness
Has begun to fade

Stab me now
Leave me dead
Leave me hanging
By a bare thread

Oh well
I guess I should be glad
There was some happiness
To be had.

Poetry

Tear me open
Leave me scattered
Blood on the ground,
Clothing tattered

Left abandoned
Left alone
I have no place
To call my home

Who am I
An empty soul
I have no way
To pay my toll

I'm slowly dying
But who am I?
The conscience of youth
The youth who don't try

Intelligence sinking
There is no longer thinking
My mind is shrinking
You're watching and blinking

Goodbye.

Poetry

Could you stop,
Just look at me
Take a moment
And you might see

There's a softer side to me
There's so much more that I could be
But I myself am lost at sea
I stole a ship, in attempt to break free

But these chains have held
No rust has formed
Though the thunder rolled
And the sea stormed

Waves came crashing down
Making an attempt to drown

I drift ashore
Always wanting more
What am I here for?
Am I searching for a cure?

I lay in sand
Reach for your hand

But it's not there
I'm chasing air...

Poetry

Broken promises

And broken trust

Golden rings

Are left to rust

You broke her heart

You tore her down 

You turned her smile 

Into a frown 

You led her on

Said you were true

But you're just scum,

That's nothing new

Superheroes 

don't exist

They're just myths 

To bend and twist

Wrap her round

Your finger well

And carry her 

Slowly into hell

The minor warmth

Becomes a burn

But you've a lesson

Still to learn

Do not touch 

My second soul

Or I will leave you

With no control.

Poetry

One, two
Three, four
Tic, tac, toe

Play the game
Of life or death
Or have nothing to show

X's and O's
Scattered everywhere
What's even left anymore?

Lines through
Trios
The whole world is being washed ashore

X's or O's
No matter which you choose
Both sides of a battle
Either way, you're going to lose

Kind of like life
A never-ending game
But with one wrong move
Things will never be the same.

Poetry

There's something to be said
About energy
Both negative and positive...

You're negative...
Subtracting sunlight
And adding the rain

Take away smiles,
And give all the pain.

You're positive
Taking away rain
And adding light to the lives of others
It's no mystery
Why we're good for one another.

Poetry

So this is who you are
Your colors showing through
If this is how it's going to be,
I'm glad I'm rid of you

Always switching sides,
Treason; 10th degree
Never staying loyal,
Making us all unhappy

Back stabbed,
Shit talked,
Yet you're surprised
That out we walked

You expect us to miss you
You made us stressed
Without you here,
We all feel blessed

Next time think before you act
And maybe your friendships will stay intact.

Poetry

I'm slowly losing my mind

Searching for something I won't find

Questions running through my head 

People who think I should be dead

I don't know anymore

I don't know anymore

Memories fading in and out

Leave me questioning and in doubt

Lost in a web of long lost lies

No one hears my battle cries

Friend who I once thought were true

Have left me here for someone knew

A twisted puppet master pulling strings

Making drama of everything 

Cut the cords and set yourself free

But don't come running back to me.

Poetry

I find it odd
How in the fall; leaves die
But they die in such bright colors
Red, orange, yellow and brown
Much brighter than the green of their life

Perhaps we too are like that
Becoming most colorful before we die
A living our life stuck in one shade
Only realizing that variety is better
When it becomes too late to try.

Poetry

I don't want to apologize
Not this time; you need to realize

Not everything you say or do
Is always right or always true

Your perception is clouded
And I'm the one who is doubted

A downward spiral,
A love that's gone viral

Your head is spinning
And your demons are winning

You won't listen to reason
But won't think twice about treason

Discard those there for you,
For only he will do

Say one thing wrong,
You can't just go along

Take thought to the matter
Let those memories scatter

Shatter the vase; break the glass
Let your feelings burn to ash

And blow away in summer breeze...
For he is just your heart's disease.

Poetry

Smile so big
Fly so high
Feathered wings
Up in the sky

Golden halo
Flowing gown
No devil
Could take her down

But Lucifer came
And tempted Fate
Helped her make
A grand escape

Into an illusion
A twisted dream
That turned to a nightmare
And made her scream

No escape
Her halo shattered
He stole her wings
So nothing mattered

Feathers clipped
She couldn’t fly
She didn’t understand
Why he made her cry

She was enslaved
With no way out
But she stayed loyal to him
Without a doubt

When the gates
Of Hell did rise
She saw the light
She saw his lies

She put on her broken wings
Grabbed her halo
Everything
And then she turned and flew away
For she had made new wings from pain.

Poetry

Another year has come and passed
How does the time go by so fast?
I wish that I could make it last,
But I find myself running from the past

Bridges smoldering behind me
I fear I've left a wreck
I've taken the ones I care about
And tossed them off the deck

They struggle in the water
But I won't extend a hand
For I'm already swimming
To where I see the land.

Poetry

I'm tired and upset

My head is now a mess

Exploding emotions

And headaches from stress

A wreck of confusion

Leaves me lost in illusion

A horrible collision

Destroys all my vision

No kind of future

To cover the suture

So turn out the light

And I'll say good night.

Poetry

Sick of the tears

Sick of this lie

You are the cause 

Of the tears I cry

You ripped them away

But that's still not enough

You need to pester and prod

Because you think you're so tough

Please just go away

I've long since moved on

I've no need for you

And your sad, lonely song

Stop trying to intrude

And get into my life

I don't want anything to do with you

And your troublesome strife.

Poetry

Where is your other side?

The one you try to hide?

Where is your second self

That you keep hidden on a shelf

Where is your second half

The one you stow behind the mask

All the world's a stage

You cannot stay contained

We all play many parts

And break so many hearts

Without knowing what we say

Can make or break a world.

Poetry

All of me wishes

That you were still here

So I could still hug you

And hold you near.

All of me wishes

That your blue eyes could see

All that I do

To make you proud of me.

All of me wishes

That you'd somehow return

But I know it won't happen...

You're just ash in an urn

All of me wishes

That I could hear your voice

But it's gone forever like you

Because of poor choice.

All of me wishes

That you hadn't left

That two years ago

You hadn't greeted your death

But all of my wishes

And all of my prayers

Will never be answered

You can never be there.

Poem

The times that we remember
Are odd at best
But these will be taken with us
When we're laid to rest

The memories that clutter
Our heart and our mind
Are kept away neatly
Where no one can find

A mess just for us
A puzzle not solved
The pieces all missing
Never to be resolved.

Poetry

Headaches... 

rip me apart inside

and I can't really hide

from the stress inside my mind

Stress

growing stronger every day 

it comes inside to play

it always finds a way

I don't want it anymore

I want to shut the door

Close it off forevermore

I don't need the extra pain

I don't want the storms or rain

And I don't want to explain

Let the sunshine in

Let the light begin

And the happiness win.

Poetry

Calm, cool and collected
That's what I aspire to be
Not like some others who I know
Who don't think twice before they breathe

I hate to be a hot-head
To rush in before I think
For I know that all could be gone
In the moment that I blink

I don't want to pull the trigger
And bring down those I care for
Rude comments can never win..,
They aren't what I stand for

I hate to be rude...
But you're a disgrace
You bring others down
When they look at your face

You seep negativity
Lies and betrayal
But no matter what...
I will try and prevail.
