"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
A year of abstinence from inhaling chronic to set the record straight.My vices aren't in charge as I doctor myself back to good health,And,Tune into the fate in which God has made for me by wrapping my palms around another page,Another pen,Another poem I recite as I find my way back home within a stage.No...

To be,Or not to be?Is never the question now that I am.I've accepted how God molded me into the writer I was hesitant to be.No matter how nervous I was at the Monday mic,I pulled through.Tuesday was a hit and miss,But,Two mics on a Wednesday gave me the spark to tear each house down.Thursday's set...

An empty gas tank tends to form me into a languid bibliotaph uninterested in reading any stort falling into my lap,Too weak to bear the weight of.It isn't like it was years ago,Where I'd fight in urgency when dealing with an energy bar running low.Nowadays,I'd rather put my controller down,Accept my losses,And,See what tomorrow brings...

Too familiar with the sound of no vibrating from another's lips while I keep my ears closed.Too familiar with how the wind feels when someone sways their head from left to right while keeping their doors closed.But,Lately I've become acquainted with the peace that comes within each rejection.How I have more time to work on...

Granules from a bittersweet reality sprinkle onto a smile I don't ever want to lose.But,As I sweat,From walking miles on end,I'm always tempted to lick the corner of my lips,While left sour-faced by the taste of each sip,Of my own failures…Still,Sources of water are scarce for a martyr.A loner.A man with no other choice,But,To walk...

Loneliness.I'm attached to it the same way an apple is attached to the branch of a tree.Deeply rooted in soil as dead as the inner-child left dangling inside of me.Yet,Still.I'm watered by an entity I can't see.All I see is darkness while wobbling to its breath every time It breathes.In,And,Out,Until I fall off and roll...

A bulldozer is what I intend to be.Obstacles are a part of life,And,It's our job to run them over.Some never clock in,But,I'm locked in and see past the lack of acceptance.Whether or not others forgive me,I forgive myself for what I did in my rocky past,Moving on from the horrid man I was becoming.There's no...

Today's piece is more of a statement than prose or a poem. There aren't many rhythms I can think of this very moment. All I can think of is escaping from a family that has lost its mind in ways I never thought would happen growing up as a lonely kid in the South Bronx.... Continue Reading →
"I don't love you!""I don't love you!!" She made sure to tell me twice.A fact I was aware of by the simple look in her hollowed eyes.But,Instead of being disappointed I,Just walked away and cried over my exhaustion.My exhaustion of putting up with abuse I could've certainly avoided by getting lost in,Empty pages rather than...

At this point,I know I'll never find love again.I mean,I'm boring with a tendency to repent for my sins after gaining some sense,On what's more important in life.And,Most women I've encountered aren't into that… Especially,If you're a broken man!Like me.With zero dollars in a bank account to seize.Living with family that aren't family to me...
