You may be from out of town,But,Over here,You're pseudo-happiness is not allowed.Over here,Honesty's appreciated more than the frown you've turned upside down.Over here,We love one another regardless of pain everybody suffers,And,For that we are proud! Not a single politician is found in our home,Nor,Presidents,Dead or alive,Salivating to devour our soul,Unlike those hardened by illegal tender... Continue Reading →
A Poet’s Tundra – Day 218, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
Searching for profit through proper syntax,As a prophet without a lot to give back.It's hard enough to read a bible knowing I am not intact,But,I plan on breaking free from a spell through the whiplash,I receive from God's word while I sit back,And,Reminisce on mistakes I've made.Mistakes making the big man I've became,By accepting my...

A Picture, Eternal. – Day 216, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Cracks.Scuffs.Faded colors add more beauty onto photos we find difficult to look at again.Nothing to be scared of,Besides your refusal to acknowledge everything that made you who you are.To leave your inner child crying in a corner?Is what you'd expect in a heart full of cowardice.A heart giving up on itself regardless of its morning...

The Chapter Before The Sequel – Day 210, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Reaching the end of the last chapter in a book with a sequel to come is,Bittersweet to say the least.And,Here we are.At our mountain's edge,Just to climb back down,And,Scale the next.In a sense,Never can we grow tired of a story up to us to write as long as we change our pace.Say grace!All while being...

Promises I Shouldn’t Keep – Day 209, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Promises...I'm exhausted with,Making what I shouldn't keep while I'm lost in this,Thought process I've been trying to escape at all costs...Will it,Burn me alive,As I gas out and crash from being so sleep-deprived?Only God knows.All I know,Is the hard time I've been having,As I arrange a flow pattern,Used to depict a disaster,That couldn't be stopped...

Bloody Cloth Of A Ghost – Day 208, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A ghost town full of what seems to be apparitions trapped in a vessel they despise.Pounding in both ears is a silence arising while I stare into their eyes as,I steer clear from saying a word.I try to wave and say hi,But,What I get back is a stare more hypnotizing than death's,Yet,I shrug it off...

Band Of The Falcon – Day 198, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
As the kettle gets too hot to handle while the whistle blows,Hawks fly in flocks as the heat from war rises.But,As sweet as it sounds,That moment arrives where they must depart.Isolated inside the belly of the Beast.And,Never shall they know when they're attacked by their own.Once a territory's been seized by One,Who knows what they'll...

An Apple No One Would Eat – Day 195, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

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...

My First Aid – Day 185, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Every poem is a bandaid placed on a wound until it heals.Blood drips,And drips,On a page onto the next until the stains disappear in what I call a field,Of dreams,Our souls manifest against all odds.To be a poet means,To put an end to your facade,And,Face everything that makes you cry.Until you smile internally,Externally.Excavating every ounce...
