Jaiden's Words

Some poems, stories, and other things, written by me

[jaidenswords]

Through You

I see right through you,

that madness you emit,

through defiance you reflect,

there’s something you won’t admit

you want to fly

to breathe and learn

to ride the wind

like a leaf of a fern

to be someone new

and leap out of this ditch

you’d almost find hope

from the mouth of a snitch

Hands have been offered

everyday of your life

let go and reach out

you could end all of your strife

[jaidenswords]

the monster

I know of a monster

that comes in the night

it creeps on the floorboards

as I turn out the light

Slithering softly

it reaches my bed

and with the stealth of a hawk

it enters my head

It whispers its words

wanders my brain

pushing me softly

and calling my name

In night I am captured

by the tongue of this beast

a slave to it’s speech

as I look to the east

As I hope to be free

to know myself once again

escape from deception

at the call of the ren

In morning I think of this

I realize that we

all have a monster

lurking where we can’t see

[jaidenswords]

Fearing the End

As it began in a flicker

it will end in a flame

it will die as a fire

that i could not tame

the thought enters my head

weeks after the start

and I fear in my head

and fear more in my heart

Will it all fall apart?

Will I drop to one knee?

And I can’t help but wonder,

will the blame fall on me?

Will you still remember

our walks down the street

I have seen some forget

and I would hate to repeat

the tragedy spread

across my life like a canvas

this curse that I bear

must come to unhand us

Yes, I see my paranoia

but i can’t help but think

as one often does

when pushed to the brink

Will i slip up and harm you

unaware of my flaw?

will you send me away

with a hate that is raw?

will i dive back down

into my pit of lonesome

will I run to a place

I can’t ever come home from?

[jaidenswords]

The Poet’s Dilemma

Watch me

dripping ink on your life

making you think twice

giving advice while for me it's a vice

But breaking ice

lacks value to you

despite whatever words

that i choose to use

And so

I delve into thought

and rot as i'm thinking

sinking and questioning my worth

[jaidenswords]

An Ode To Unisex Bathrooms

I am a drifter

Floating uneasily

Between two doors

One brings terror

and the other radiates

a foul sense of dysphoria

I reach out

hoping for a middle ground

down that filthy hallway

A singular door

unmarked

no labels

a safe haven

a resting place

until I can overcome.
