Everywhere I go,It seems like everything changes.Never do I see the same faces,In the same spaces,I find myself inside of longer than a few months knowing they've been around for years.Rules in this game called life change as if adjusting to a presence imposing itself on a world it doesn't want much of a part...

Wish Upon A Star – Day 264, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
What do I wish for as the star others claim me to be?On most days,I'm darkened by visions of an abyss I'm trapped in while I rake in a seed,Into a ground split open by thunderous cries I'm not able to contain,And,Release!Internally while I walk rampant,Shouting for these desires to cease...Every desire to flee from...

Luminous & Bold – Day 263, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Crescent moons luminate my path as I walk past danger I'm no longer afraid of.For what is a night-stalker without prey to seek,As it is my job to protect a heart that beats,Away to the rhythm of my escape from,A city hungry for fresh meat.I feel reborn,Nowadays,Without anything to complain about.After all,Shouldn't we already know...

Sweet Ole’ Bronx – Day 262, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Mean mugs,A blunt,And,A Yankees fitted.Living in the projects with heat tucked,And,An arm full of bad bitches.Sipping on a 40 ounce of Budweiser,While pitching drugs hoping to climb up from rags to riches...It's what He sees on concourse,Claiming to be King,Bridging the gap between an escape from a con torn,From paradise found in a dollar to...

Familiarities Of A Second Chance – Day 261, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Too familiar with the sound of no vibrating from another's lips while I keep my ears closed.Too familiar with how the wind feels when someone sways their head from left to right while keeping their doors closed.But,Lately I've become acquainted with the peace that comes within each rejection.How I have more time to work on...

Breath Of A Dragon – Day 260, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Certain days,It doesn't feel like I'm human.I can't remember the last time I cried,Or,Laughed while enduring a contusion,Of emotions I've suffered at the hands of my own confusion.Confusion stemming from my refusal to quit what God deems useless.But,Maybe I've dried the well as I do my best to see different.Fluids tainted by bloodied fingertips,And,Specs of...

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...

Skin Of Steel – Day 258, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
That sheen gleaming off of blood,Dripping from my bleeding wounds is enough,To refrain from insulting anyone.My pain is not an excuse,To demean a human soul who hurts the same way I do.Regardless of what you say,There's nothing that will stop me from loving you! I understand how we all make mistakes,So,Who am I to defile... Continue Reading →
Baptismal Love – Day 257, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So much talk about a sweep,But,Not the kind you'd expect as reality gets swept under the rug.Mad is sin,Running rampant in the hearts of those who mob before accounting for actions buried under dust,Swiped away when it's too late in the spur of the moment.But,Maybe,The hard road is necessary for some.Because,No matter how often you...

Lonely Sunday Drives – Day 256, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
The lonely road. Our spirits were never built for it, But our mind and flesh adapt for each bump we drive over as a means of survival,Unless we wish to die.I get it...How disappointing it is to wake up with no one by your side.How our lips ache for another's before laying our heads down...
