"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
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...

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...

Maybe,I'm still scarred because of the way you left me.How stone-faced you were in sight of my tears.How happy you were to tell me,"I don't love you anymore,"While I was shattering into pieces right in front of you.Maybe,That's why I mistreat a body I'd rather not be inside of on most days.Because of your delight...

"Protest,Protest!"What's the point when those you're protesting against,Have soundproof walls,Windows,Doors,You name it.Anything to cancel out noise no one needs to make in,A world we already have control over?How can you expect to be heard when,We don't ever bother to listen to each other as we do our best to move forward?The progress those on the...

In love with a ghost of a woman I don't miss.A silhouette without a face I refuse to recognize.Why?Do I do this to myself when I'd rather be by,Myself.Floating through a jazzy city where my mind keeps roaming through,All kinds of tunes,So that I can finetune,Thoughts replaying the same old songs I've grown tired of.It's...

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...

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...

Sick and tired of,Being sick and tired.Although alcohol and weed are no longer parts of my life,I still struggle with food and lust.And,I abhore it so much more than you can ever imagine.Because,Any time I find myself free to write a poem,I get lost,Entrapped in the thought of what keeps me at my lowest.With only...

Memories pop into mind like,A game of Russian Roulette.Each one,Anxiety-ridden.Sweat beads down my forehead at every turn of events.Never do I know which one will coerce me to pull the trigger,But,I figured,It's a risk that must be taken.What other thrill do I have besides,Going through a photobook imprinted in my mind,As I pick at every...

Supervening intentions cloud His mind as his eyes feast upon a table littered with gold he'd never seen before.Should he dab and dip?He asked.With a stash and print,His fingertips on what was already dirty in the first place? Self-made,Is the dream.But,A shell made of a thief,Is what was left in place in a mind who... Continue Reading →
