Fiction

July 1st, 2019

The words don’t leave my pencil
You must be satisfied
Because I bottled up my feelings
And I buried them alive
I don’t want any pity
There must be some confusion
I am more than my own story
And your fictitious disillusion
You pretend that you know me
When all you know is your perception
So I gave myself a new identity
And stepped away from your rejection
But you send me right back to that place
Like I’m a scared little kid
Because you still hold that power
When you refuse to admit what you did
So you can write your own narrative
And you can convince yourself it’s true
But no matter how you conclude this
I will never forgive you

Soliloquy

April 30th, 2019

All the empty pages
When I have so much to say
There’s an ending to all stories
And mine won’t be today
I refuse to hold this in
When my story must be told
So I’ll fill up all the pages
Until the plotline unfolds
You’ll never see it coming
When my story finds its end
And if you still don’t understand it
Then I’ll tell it once again

Plagued

February 20th, 2019

The memories replay
I wish I could forget
Taking the wrong path
Is something I’ll always regret
You were only a ghost
That left me haunted
With dreams of things
That I never wanted
I still have flashbacks
Like PTSD
I wish I could forget
These memories
Though time goes on
The wounds don’t heal
If it was that easy to disappear
How do I know that you were real
