Lately,All of my poems have been getting shorter.There's just not much to say having the same pot of rice and beans everyday.Feeling my bones tremble a bit longer as I hold the weight of my loneliness on my shoulders.What else is there to mention besides the gargantuan stake piercing through my gut everyday I wake...

The Bond Set In Stone – Day 286, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
You think you like what you like,Until you witness the kind of love within a family only your body,And,Soul can create with another unlike yourself.It wasn't until I laid eyes on a bond that couldn't be broken,Even if they'd try their hardest,Where my confusion trickled out of my eyes in streams of tears I found...

A Survivor – Day 283, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A bird who fell from a nest on a tree as high as the sin humans keep,On a pedestal most desire to fill in with shimmering gold.A bird learning to flap its wings by itself as the hurricane becomes stronger,And,Stronger.A bird who flies away from any flock it comes across for the kind of solace...

Shallow Victories, Triumphant Losses – Day 275, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Echoes Of A Lonely Poet – Day 267, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sitting in a multi-million dollar building by myself,Echoes tend to get louder while I write a rhyme I belch,From the bottom of a heart to the top of a helm,Moving in circles while I stare at an angel,And,Demon I couldn't help,But,Ignore.Doesn't matter how many tears I stream down my eyes when I spot a fight,Or,Flight...

Sleep Is Where Life’s At – Day 266, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Catching Z's nowadays are better than being awake.There is nothing to my day,Besides an open mic with a mic I use,And,A home I've made on every stage I've been to.So,As I lay my head down while slipping into a dream,I can't lie by saying I'd like to wake up,And,Stay awake in this reality.A reality not...

Accepting One’s Self – Day 259, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A man with an uncertified baptism.Still battling against demons with a set of rap lyrics.Forcing God's hand,Is not an option for a man given,Many chances the minute he wakes up with a hand dipping,Into muddy waters… But,I'm not bothered one bit.I'm a forced to be wreckoned with when I solder my spit,Along faith inside of...

Forgiving Who Hurt You – Day 248, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
Biases occur more often than,Others caring more for another's crisis in,Hopes they heal every wound drowning everyone surrounding them,In their own shallow waters.We may hurt each other no matter the price is,And,It's disappointing when you're trying to have faith in humanity thriving.Yet,There's no cure quite like forgiveness along a hand pulling someone out of darkness...

An Embrace I Can’t See Coming – Day 245, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
God's embrace comes when you least expect it.Today,It came through a Trinidadian woman while I sat inside of a Citibank,Pensive.About how lonely my life's been as I live it through a pad,A pen,And,A message God's been nudging me to spread with,Love.Not knowing how to move forward,She urged me to keep going strong without a doubt...

Half Of What I Am – Day 239, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (Finished)
Memorial Day's upon us,And,All I can think about is the last time I received 'time and a half'.Nothing else to expect,Besides a job where my heart's split right down its middle.One side in front of a microphone at an open mic,The other in back of a desk where I sit back,And,Force myself to write.But,Regardless of...
