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…
Drifters – Day 147, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Drifters have no place in the world,But,That's okay.We leave our marks,In a world so scarce of love,In hopes to leave a smile on someone's face.In hopes to change what we yearn to change,In hearts made of stone when staring into Medusa's gaze.The snake slithering in grass we often forget to cut.The bane of our existence...

Surviving Your Disdain – Day 145, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
You can push me,Kick me,Stab me,Shoot me,But,I'll still stand up as long as I have an ounce of breath left.You may hate me,But,I love you either way as I keep my distance from your detestation for my existence.I refuse to be rattled by your desire to see my life buried by the debris from your...

Bottom Of The Ocean – Day 144, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Subsistence.Where is it discovered?How can one reach its limitless potential lacking the will to breathe?Oxygen tanks no where to be found going down under.Just,The bottom of an ocean where you're never to be seen again.Like,The crustacean no one will ever fish for… Continuing to live forward doesn't make any sense,At times where we're drowning with...

Maybe, You’re Not Hearing Things – Day 143, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...
