What if you're not crazy?What if you are hearing those voices exactly how your mind interprets them to be?What if that laughter piercing through your eardrums isn't as jovial as you believed,Far from any kind of unison with yours? What then?Do you proceed to spark war between yourself and others you want to love?Or,Do you... Continue Reading →

Church Bell Chimes – Day 141, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Church bell chimes flood both eardrums with a vision,Poured out from His fingertips in drip-drops of,Blood.Sweat.Tears.All mixed into a cherry red painting brighter than both cheeks when flushed by.The day He took his eyes off of a sky,Gleaming with a way out of an eternal abyss.Hoping to find beauty in an image He can bear...

Madness In The Kool-Aid – Day 140, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Do it now before it's too late.Put down the Kool-Aid!And,Get away from what is sugarcoated by a lie,Inside of what others light up with butane.Damp from saliva they spit out while they pass over slews of eighths,Trying to make you a slave… Focus on love from the most high!Watching us from the sky,Guiding us with...

Packing In Another Joint – Day 139, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Never do I know where to begin,Nor,How to write it,Nor,How to address an engorged heart with a need to burst and shout…So much pain!Without knowing where to put it other than one place,A page,Where I've been having an abundance of doubt.Yet,Not once have I cared for the darkness shrouding my mind…I care to find an...

Casualties Of War – Day 138, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I've conceded to the pleasures of being alone.In my own bubble making sure no one pops it.But,There's one thing left for me to do.One last mission for me to accomplish:Conquering my demons once and for all.Every tantalizing sin devouring my sanity as soon as I wake up from a nightmare imbuing my forehead in sweat...

The Plate Is About To Shatter – Day 137, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I find myself asking often, "What am I doing with my life?" And, I don't really know why. I'm a writer, poet. I perform as many times as I possibly can throughout the week. I have a job allowing me the free time to be myself. What do I really have to complain about? Sure,... Continue Reading →
Waiting For Sunrise – Day 136, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sometimes,Our own thoughts are treacherous.Traitors to every fiber in our being that makes us who we are.A glitch within a game we're forced to play and handle our cards right.And,As much as we try to override images we don't want to see,Our objective isn't to have control,But,To breathe.Have faith in what we're guided to do...

Seduced By Pain – Day 135, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sick and tired of,Being sick and tired.Although alcohol and weed are no longer parts of my life,I still struggle with food and lust.And,I abhore it so much more than you can ever imagine.Because,Any time I find myself free to write a poem,I get lost,Entrapped in the thought of what keeps me at my lowest.With only...

The Ice Cream Melted – 134, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Cupcakes,Candy bars,And,Ice cream seem innocent,Until,I raise the bar,And,Cut out anyone sugarcoating their solidarity in a melting pot,Most are simmered in… Just when you think things are sweet,They spoil when left on a shelf,Forgotten,While rotting in a Hell,Hotter than fire withheld in our pupils… Whoever's they to you!Democratic,Conservative,Independent,You choose!In the end,We all cook our food,On a...
