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.
