Sadness.Sadness is that half-empty glass of water giving life to a waning heart dry of all kinds of love spoken.That half-empty glass of water you'll never choke on regardless of how it's poured in.Into an esophagus sore from crying for hours on end,With bulging eyes getting too tired to open.And,I know it all too well.Because,Because,I'm...

The Magnifying Glass – Day 229, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sunlight's shining upon me!But,From a magnifying glass I can't see.Heat-seeking a man working with his plan B,Instead,Of a past dream to live a life of innocence.Yet,None of us never had a chance to,Have we?A hard pill to swallow.But,It's a pill that won't leave you hollow,The same way your decisions will while choosing to wallow,About what...

Smell Of Fresh Soil – Day 225, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fresh mulch permeates the air,As new seeds are planted into a mind,Where ideas are desperate to germinate.Staying stuck in the weeds is no longer suitable for a soul thirsty to feel something new.Something besides dry humor,And,A plate of burgers along french fries while watching whatever the algorithm decides to feed it that night.No more city...

Press Me! – Day 224, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Communicating with what appears to be a mannequin.A voice box appears to be present as long as you press the right buttons without any damage.Yet,No matter what I say,The response will always be the same.So,Why even bother talking until the point of rage crawling up my spine?Silence,In this case,Seems so divine.I'd rather sit down,And,Write a...

Dollar Store Bags – Day 223, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Flimsy.Ripping at the slightest tension.Such weak garbage bags I keep for baggage I carry,As heavy as each rejection I've suffered,Been blessed with,However I feel during the moment.It's why I change them as fast as I can,Before debris scatters all over my floor,Out of my control.Kind of like,My emotions encountering a new palm I grab,With a...

From Around Town – Day 221, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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 →
Dancing With Silhouettes – Day 220, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
The way she grabs hold of my palm when something's wrong is like,An anti-inflammatory.My eyes keep away from swelling as I get my hands deep into allegories,When writing poems for a heart caved in over stories,Of a boy who knows nothing else besides a smile,And,An aching chest where He,My inner child lays regardless of any...

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... Continue Reading →
An Unconditional Love – Day 213, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Maybe,I don't know myself enough,After all.Everytime I get a bit of free time,I find myself plastered on to a wall!Trying to decide what to do,Where to go,And,Why?Without a reason ever coming to my mind…But,Here I am!Walking down the Lower East Side,Until I'm flattened by upsetting thoughts I couldn't iron out with my,Self.My inner-child hanging on...

Block Of An Outcast – Day 212, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Writer's block!The dearest neighborhood for an outcast looking for a place to be,As the cream of the crop.Where we plant ideas sprouting luminous beauty the entire world stops!To admire.Thoughts growing from soil watered by blood,Sweat and tears in real time without being mocked by satire.A garden where war and lust have no opportunity to transpire,While...
