"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Bad is good,Good is bad.Roles were reversed as soon as the "plan-demic" was put into play.As soon as we became desensitized to loving one another past what we could,And,Could not do for ourselves.As soon as "self-love" became more of a priority than holding each other's hand when wading through muddy waters,As muddy as our hearts...

Child-like.Getting old is not an option while I live through the wild-life.In a world full of animals in a concrete jungle burning down while I,Seek an escape through the only path that's still intact.The only path where joy is never found through a glass,On the rocks while stung by the down pour.The only path where...

Standards of beauty are as unrealistic as our need to feel beautiful.After all,It's not our looks that will satiate our hunger to attract the eyes of our soulmate.It's our smile when alone,Dealing with pain no one else is aware of,Besides yourself.The happiness you shine across the room needing no one's company,But,Your own...If glossy lips,Curvy hips,Rings...

An epiphany was had by the time I laid my head back down before going in for my double shifts at work for the weekend:"What will I ever gain by overworking a voice growing tired of speaking what someone,Somewhere may need to hear when they've grown too weary?"Rest.Pacing myself.Is what I've needed more than an...

Endless valleys.Darkness rising is eternal,Yet,I rally.Till the sun sets again,And again,Through dreams I gladly allow to overflow,And,Look past each sin that will die easier than I've once believed...Here I am.Gleaming through the exellence of his love.Every tear he's given,Has become an ocean to drink from,Anytime I'm thirsty because of droughts I've caused by the whiplash...

Redressing my wrong doings in a fashion I'm confortable with is not what my focus should be.I can change my jacket all I want,But,It won't stop me from getting soaked in pouring rain,As acidic as each tear dropping from my cheeks,Flushed by bad calls all of us make once in a while.I'd rather wear the...

Whether it's gravity or not,I'm grounded on the same spot,I've rotted on while looking for a space I can thrive inside of while I write another drop.My bars stay heavy,But,I stay steady,In place for as long as God may let me...I'm used to this weight on my shoulders.Once upon a time,I was a three-hundred pound...

Open mics,And,Solo dinner dates have filled my schedule more often than taking the time to take care of myself the way God wants me to.Delayed blog posts are the result,As well as poems written by eighty percent of my true potential.I can't seem to figure out why,As my nights become longer,And,My days shorter.Is it time...

Endearing phone calls I haven't received in about a decade,Taught how pointless cell phones are.I often look back at a moment in time,Where we'd step outside,And,Have no outlet to keep in touch.Keeping us closer to the Sun,We bathed in happily,Instead of blue light from dusk,Till dawn,While wondering amongst ourselves why life seems more sorrowful than...

A Sultry gaze will always fail to pierce through the cement wall I've built over the years,Protecting a heart brittled by lies I've had to pretend were true,Until I've decided to recognize them for what they truly are.Sirens screeching through halls they're not welcomed to roam,In a mind looking for peace,Silence.My palms no longer gravitate...
