"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Birthdays.What are they for a recluse?Is celebration mandatory,Is it even an option?As every holiday zips by without any contact.You begin to question the meaning of your mistaken existence.But,What's the point knowing we all woke up,Suddenly,Without any knowledge of what life is exactly?I guess,Our lives come with meaning we must do our best to discover.A meaning...

Out of rubble comes an idea sprouting from the darkest depths of one's torchered soul.Even seeds drowned in the dirtiest water full of all kinds of bacteria grows,Beauty as profound as a broken heart being pieced back together while,Discovering it's worth lost within a pile of criticism thrown their way.Soil we've thought to be dead,Resurrects...

Do it now before it's too late.Put down the Kool-Aid!And,Get away from what is sugarcoated by a lie,Inside of what others light up with butane.Damp from saliva they spit out while they pass over slews of eighths,Trying to make you a slave… Focus on love from the most high!Watching us from the sky,Guiding us with...

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...

All I want for Christmas and beyond is,Words of love euphonious to my ears.A hug!From a woman full of more than holiday cheer that's,Temporary.A bond that'll last more than a handful of text messages,As she disappears into the wind.A day where I'm not wondering,"What's wrong with me?"While I get through my day by reminders of...

Crumbs.At least,Mine are bigger than what birds tend to eat.Being angry is a choice,But,It's a choice I don't have to make while I still have the blessing to breathe.And,It's not all about perspective.It's about,Acknowledging what I have in front of what I invest in,The plate feeding into a character with ego making a mess of,A...

Who am I to give my soul,To whom it doesn't belong to?If you're not who created it,Never can you savor it,No matter how much you want to… I owe and give it all to Jesus.When I needed someone to hold on to,Through the storm,Only He was there to keep me steady through the season,That could've...

Ascendance.A rise to power,Fame,Is what a lost soul like yours seems to crave… Repentance.A change from who you've been,Is a thought most seem to think of with,Disdain… But,Inevitable it is,Isn't it?Our need to turn the other way?From sin.An otherworldly impressment of fear amongst individuals who seek a manufactured spotlight… Must you grab hold of everyone's...

Today's piece is more of a statement than prose or a poem. There aren't many rhythms I can think of this very moment. All I can think of is escaping from a family that has lost its mind in ways I never thought would happen growing up as a lonely kid in the South Bronx.... Continue Reading →
Desert wastelands are home to the Wanderer.All you would find,In their mind,Is a beautiful mirage they've conjured from Hurt.Pain others minimized for reasons they may not be aware of,But,It's what gives the illusion its worth.Watering their phantasm until it becomes real,By growing out of their absurdity with honor… And,I guess I'm a Wanderer myself.Just,Walking,And walking,And...
