To uphold a facade,A farce,A mask,Is to commit murder against who you must accept if you are to live happy.But,Sadly,Most of us choose to voluntarily slaughter that person attempting to smile,Each time you step in front of a mirror where ever you go.A denial!So fatal.All to gain a prize without an appraisal.Without ever figuring out...

If Only I Was Hers – Day 155, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Her beauty…So,Unreal,Surreal.Whenever she bats her eyes,It's as if,Joy glimmers into mine,While my mind reels.Going through painted memories,Highlight reels I create picturing how it would be like,If,Our fingers intertwined,And,Peeled away each wall where our mysteries lie… Such beauty I wouldn't dare to undress.Because,Seductive she is not.She's more like,The stars glittering throughout A night sky infusing my...

Ugly Stickerz – Day 154, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Chit-chatter.Gossip.Labels.Stigmas.What do they matter when you're doing all that you can to keep it together?They may stick for a while,But,With enough solution,The adhesive loosens,And,There you have it.An opportunity to strip off the jealousy and hatred of another vows to dress you in.Nothing's permanent…Not a single flailing desire.Not a single bead of sweat dripping from pressure...

Sweet Or Salty! – Day 153, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In progress)
To bake,Or,To cook,Is the question at hand.Both take place in the same setting,Yet,There's a difference in each process.Patience lays its palm on your back
A Blank Page For A Clean Slate – Day 152, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blank,Like the page I'm writing on,Yet,It's necessary.Wiping the slate clean in a mind replaying too many horrors exhausting itself into oblivion.Who am I kidding?No need there is to revisit a past I'm no longer interested in.A past I've worn out on a sleeve I've ripped off in a war against demons insisting on my downfall.No,Sir!I...

Beauty In A Broken Mirror – Day 151, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Family,That aren't family,Are never satisfied until you're pacified by their insanity.Can it be the worst thing to go through,When you're alone?Truth is,As tragic as it could've been when you're the one who's labeled useless,Their severance is a blessing in disguise,As you rip off the mask you've hid behind,And,Realize the image they're despised,Is an image you...

Where’s The Snowmen? – Day 150, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A fresh coat of snow can't wash away the dirty pile underneath.A filthy mound of what used to be,Turned into ice now melting away,Seeping into the porous concrete.Sewers and subway vents.Soil we often forget to care for in a city too busy to think twice about its own actions… Still.Youthful souls are allowed to roam...

Bats & Pine Tar – Day 149, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fruits of labor ripen when your frantic fingertips quit cherrypicking,On the basis of a sweettooth that never knows what is good for itself.Sometimes,Our hands must get dirtied by grinding through what we fear most.Facing what's scariest to our heart no matter how much faster it begins to beat.Smearing your palms in pine tar,Picking up that...

Fluorescent Sights – Day 148, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
Conscious.Aware.Maybe a bit too often.But,It's not as bad as I make it out to be.As lonely as it gets,In a world more than half asleep,Moving to a beatI want to see every sliver of gloom laid in front of me,And,Tune out what darkens the luminescence radiating from my beating heart…
