Hopping from one open mic to the next as the holidays arrive,You'll meet so many others looking for the same high.Not from a drug.Not from a drink nor attention from anyone!But,A dream.A dream we imagine from the second we open our eyes,To and throughout every hour we're asleep…The kind of high most are too afraid...

The Eagle Eye Is Watching – Day 40, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Eagle eyes everywhere we go.No where to run,No where to hide while surveilled for the things we know,But,Aren't supposed to.From school halls,Street lamps and telephone booths,To the workplace and back home as they calculate our every move.What are we to do?So many heads looking down at a cellphone while locked in a state of mind...

Checking In On My Own Soul (Prose), Day 21
Three months into sobriety from marijuana and I cant believe it. But, as proud as I am from deciding not to encase every grin away behind a curtain of smoke, I still feel trapped.

Ocean Blues – Day 5, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Serene like a seagull when swimming in a sea of tranquility.To be gulled into boiling rage,Over thoughts that will go away,Is an error you must not make,If you plan on living life without misery.Be like a rock,Motionless upon impact when hit by a wave of despair and melancholy.You may get wet by tears drowning away...

I have a question that might just blow everybody's mind reading this sentence right now. What if,School is what made them do it? I mean,Everybody's journey down into a rock-bottom (a...

Study Time
Haven’t studied for a single exam.Even if I probably should,Life keeps testing me and,I rather pass those obstacles first.An A sounds great!But,I rather work on waking up without a death wish,While I pounce through the day with a smile on my face…Because,I am all I have.Not a single phone call from a friend within the...

Classmatez, Or Enemiez?
All our lives we've heard that schools are full of students in competition. Fighting to be top of the crop in a classroom with pencils scribbling answers on a test for a spot in positions, Anyone can have, Really... What if every student earned a 10 out of 10? 100 percent? An A+ on each... Continue Reading →
Stoned In The Halls Of Stony Brook
Loss, A word I know too much about. I wake up and see the things left as debris around me, Yet I’m blessed, To have much more than many other people around a world cluttered by poverty and continuous war our emotions fuel daily... But, What I’ve lost is much deeper than that. I lost... Continue Reading →
