Assimilation has never been my style.Quite frankly,I'd rather be what God intended me to be.A man free from labels I was once forced to believe,Would lead me through a path worthwhile.Labels like drunk,Pot head,And,Rich!When all I really was,Was a child who tripped and fell into a ditch,Never to be found again until I rose from...

Boundaries.I didn't realize there were any after offering to console me.But,As usual.I' treated more like a game rather than a man with feelings trampled by loneliness,And,A need to run away.To run away from the presence of anyone where there's potential for a bond to be built upon...It seems like everyone is too tired to lay...

How can I be confident as my palms tremble in the presence of a God I can never be?All anyone sees when I recite poetry is the energy,I'm given to push forward.It doesn't mean I'm not scared of what may fall from the brick-and-mortar I've built like the former.The only thing bravery requires is unwaivered...

Asylum Seeker – Day 331, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Seeking asylum,Isn't what I thought it was as I'm reaching for my blunt,Going insane while I'm leaning on my guts,From the astral plane when I get high up,Out of my body with bodies in my mind trying to get violent,Anything for some silence...At least it's how I feel nowadays.Mayday!I scream internally as I'm on a...

An apartment.An instrument.An encounter before I had the chance to lay eyes on her.Is what he has that I don't.He made her heart sing before I could've.He laid her down on a bed with nothing around,But,The keys to a heart mine desires to open and mesh with.If only...If only destiny brought us together in time,Before...
