A Collection Of Short Poems
2025
“Can’t lie, sometimes I still think about getting high.
But my mind never been clearer, I see peace in the mirror.
Been sober, feeling stronger, now my vision getting bigger.
Moving forward everyday, cause my purpose getting realer.
Ain’t not brakes on this road, just had to learn how to drive.
Took control, now I’m steering my own life.
Had to heal wounds, buried so deep.
Now they fade, but the lessons I keep.
Faced all the pain that was haunting my sleep.
Demons kept talking but I didn’t let them speak
This emotional weight got me feeling drained.
But I’d rather feel this than be numb to the pain.
Some days still heavy, some days feel light
Some days feel wrong, some days feel right.
Through all of the storms, through all of the fights,
I still stand tall, cause I build myself to survive.”
“Always giving unconditional love to the ones that condition theirs.”
“It really is true,
When you smile at the world, it smiles back.”

“So many fights, I never knew what to do, I’m grown, but not enough for you.”
“I felt my heart drop to my stomach, heavy like lead,
Every word I said to you, has left scars that spread.
Instead of healing the wounds you already bear,
I reopened old pain, adding more despair.
I betrayed your trust, shattered like ice,
I was wrong, and in regret, I pay the price.
I wish I could turn back time, erase the wrong,
But now I must face the sorrow, where I don't belong.”
“He thinks he's Baudelaire,
He'll find the truth in his liquor,
One more joint and his words will make more sense.
But the truth is, he can't finish his sentence.”
“She be hitting my phone,
I be pausing my music,
That’s how I know,
My feelings ain’t elusive.”

“My favourite person turned into a lesson
Once so close, now distant and gone
But the wisdom gained, I’ll carry on
My favourite person gone but life goes on”
“She was passing right in front of our eyes.
Her hanging hand, a portal between here and there.
Right time, right place, we were two angels in disguise”
“Das leben hier manchmal sehr grau,
doch meine Scheine haben Farben.
Auf meinem Körper wichtige Narben,
die mich erinnern wo wir herkamen”

“You felt like it was always about me, and I felt like it was always about you.
Nevertheless, you loved me, and I loved you”
“What's love without hate?
What's hurt without pain?
What's pride without shame?
What's sun without rain?
No rain, no flowers.
There ain't no love without pain,
And there ain't no gain if there's no pain.
“Can't call you mine, 'cause you're making me wait in line.
Don’t know how much longer I can wait; friends are telling me I’m not thinking straight.
By the looks of this story, it seems like my favorite person is about to turn into a lesson.
Never the same love twice; gotta see it as a beauty of life.
I thought I’d never find something as beautiful as getting high.
Turns out both these things make me feel like I can fly.”
“This whole time, I thought I fell in love with the wrong person.
I gave you my heart, and you tore it apart.
You said you’d follow your heart.
You had a choice, and you chose the easy one.
I can’t blame you, but it felt like a hit-and-run.
We didn’t have it all together, but together we had it all.
When you call me, I get up.
I can’t stand still.
When we hang up, I look around, and I don’t know where I’m at.
I left, and you never called back.
Another piece of my heart got detached, and I’ll never get it back
“We may not have it all together. But together we have it all “

“I wanna love the life I was given, I wanna feel driven, I hope I can still make it to heaven”
