Everything else is better than sex,Drugs,Alcohol,Whatever gets you high for that matter.Back when they were all I thought about,My reality had shattered.Anytime I looked into a mirror,I was cracked further away from repair,Every second I stared into a man I believed wasn't there,Any longer...Anytime I hear glasses cling,As a sober man nowadays,It's music to my...

Urn Your Way Out – Day 232, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
This isn't a poem,Nor prose,Nor a monologue,But,A warning.A warning about how good drugs,Of any kind,Make you feel.How downers will lift you up from the sky,Just to drop you deeper into that pool of regret you've decided to swim in.How uppers will force you to crash into the ground,Like molten-red meteors blazing its way into soil...

Clear Waters – Day 227, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Let go,Let go,Let go...Why must I do so?Why can't I have one bodily desire that doesn't equate to fool's gold?Desires that wouldn't blind my eyes from the value love brings,Till I'm too broken to pay for sins more than a few know?All I want is a one night stand,Some booze,And,A few rolls of weed until...

Purple & Blue – Day 204, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Bewildered by the thought of Her enjoying her time right this second.While my heart,Mind and soul is cluttered by doom.Yet,I've fallen out of love years ago.How pathetic!Holding myself in contempt as a man doing his best to kill that version of himself,Who only knows how to destroy his own spirit.Left wondering why I'm even alive,Still…Feels...

Babybel – Day 201, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An abundance of cheese coagulates after sitting for several minutes and harms your flesh overtime.Blood does so to clog an open wound regardless of how careless we become.Even after death,Rigor-mortis,The warmth in our bodies stay put as each flailing pound of skin goes cold.There's,Something special about the lives we live,What fuels us to move forward...

The Avenue Where Flowers Grow – Day 196, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fluorescent lights radiating off of joints I don't desire,No longer illuminate the darkness surrounding me.Regardless of its tip providing a certain direction while engulfed in flames.I'd rather wander aimlessly,Instead of walking towards a cliff I couldn't climb back up from.How pleasant it would be to know exactly where I'm headed towards,But,What does it matter if...

First Sober Birthday! – Day 188, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
My first birthday completely sober from any substance!What can I say?I'm grateful for the walk God put me on instead of staying slumped in,A ditch I thought I'd never climb out of after tripping over so many bumps on a road where running is not an option.A road where a slow pace wins the race...

The Crown That Matters – Day 178, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A crown lies ahead after enduring the piercing drill set forth by God,To grow from each travesty your flesh has created.Rather than being inebriated,I'd rather put it all down.A glass where the reflection I see,Is the monster born through mistakes I never intended to make.Mistakes I have to face every night I close my eye...

Black Lungz – Day 169, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Tar and regret invade your nostrils as each stick is engulfed into flames.Such lack of consideration for those walking by just,Searching for a brighter day!While yours is clouded by a smog smothering your mind in a haze,Of deceit,Knowing every worry won't easily fade away!With each puff into the sky.But,Still.You lie,To yourself,And,Anyone desperate to run from...

A Survivor Of Accidental Love – Day 168, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Aroused by the thought of a touch I haven't felt in so long."I hate you!""I don't want you!"I need you…""I love you…"Oh,How I miss it all.The back and forth coercing that heated moment to combust.Bodies rubbing up against each other until smoke was in the air.Letting our blunt burn out before that love we felt...
