Another year,Another reason to be thankful,With a tank full of ink to drown away what's fatal.Five months without any smoke,Five years without liquor on a table,Full of books and a bible I discovered wasn't a fable… Just the kind of guide I needed,To suffice my need for a brighter day and a way to fight...

Questions Or Excuses – Day 91, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many questions,So many questions… If you really found Jesus,Then,Why are you still bewitched by sins that still leave you,Breathless?… Isn't He supposed to fill you with,An abundance of love enough to,Squander the plans of He who rules this world of deception? When?Are you supposed to accept God's blessing,Of stillness you are destined for,After opening... Continue Reading →
Interstellar Dreams – Day 80, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Interstellar!Dimensions while I'm in a cellar.Not to mention,Every dead letter,From everyone who would not address me,Correctly,As I'm dead set on an adventure,I haven't seen many make it out of,Alive… I'm deaf to the soundwaves of doubt.While others keep surfing on the net,I'm caught by a different kind of cloud,Only everyone chosen can see.No other choice,But,To...

Tunes Of Thunder – Day 78, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
God's thunder serenades my mind,When I'm consumed by the Darkness of night.As the eye of the storm settles in,A pen is what I peddle back and forth on a blank page mirroring my eyes,As I look into each cloud swarming in… After all,The rain is music to my ears.Sounds like my fingers tapping on a...

High From The Vapors – Day 77, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Hopping from one open mic to the next as the holidays arrive,You'll meet so many others looking for the same high.Not from a drug.Not from a drink nor attention from anyone!But,A dream.A dream we imagine from the second we open our eyes,To and throughout every hour we're asleep…The kind of high most are too afraid...

Decaying Gray Doors – Day 71, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In progress)
Havana nights,On my mind,Like,Never before.But,I'm at a mic,With a line,Multiplied!So,That I can weather any storm.And…Reign over the eye,Keeping watch of my every move,Looking for the right opportunity to strike!Until I'm consumed by its inevitable pour… Blessed am I,To have cleared a sky,Pervaded by,Scrutinizing clouds blocking my view from a horizon,Revealing such tantalizing beauty,Anyone would fall...

Cake Crumbs – Day 66, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Crumbs.At least,Mine are bigger than what birds tend to eat.Being angry is a choice,But,It's a choice I don't have to make while I still have the blessing to breathe.And,It's not all about perspective.It's about,Acknowledging what I have in front of what I invest in,The plate feeding into a character with ego making a mess of,A...

Never Was His Fault – Day 50, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Takes you a while to understand how everything is our fault.How God gave us free will to simply do our part.Yet,We choose war,Bloodshed,To torment another's state of mind and far!Do we take it.Blaming God for our mishaps on Earth after being told how to behave in,A world ruled by a dark force who's goal is...

Flicking The Roach – Day 47, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sobriety feels like a knife being stuck in the middle of my palms,During nights where my soul isn't calm.How badly I want a drink,Or a smoke,I cannot describe while I dive into past poems I wrote,As a reminder to never give up… Giving up on myself is the last thing I desire!But,I can't help but...

Love Enough To Be Let Go – Day 45, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
On most nights,I don't believe I will ever be loved,Again.Difficult it is to think as I live my life through a journal and a pen.It's a hard-knock life I don't regret.After all,It's the only thing I know how to do while I flow from a chest,Inflated by hope while exhaling my sins… I'm not perfect.Like...
