Hi,Grandma!It's your grandson checking in.Lately,I haven't had many people I can speak to while I keep steady with,A palm shaking as I write poem,After poem,While my mind goes blank worrying for the readiness,I must prepare for when heading into a room full of people I don't want to see.Forgive me,But,That includes the family you've built.I...

The Shut-Eye Of The Storm – Day 278, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Romance died the moment self-love was introduced.Never heard of it once as a young gun possessing a mind fully loaded with an itch to shoot,Off from a mouth as dicey as a gamble,Full of loot we bounce wall to wall for.The drive we wake up with is driven off course,For what we can gain to...

Chasing Shadows – Day 274, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sometimes I ask myself,"Am I still alive?"I haven't seen my shadow for a whilr,Ever since you said good-byr.Can't help,But,To think,"Did I waste my life?"Chasing who I thought was my other half.Ripped apart from my palm while I held a knife on the other hand.Not realizing it was I who split us down a middle I...

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 →
Such An Ugly Photo – Day 237, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I don't believe I'll ever experience true love,Again.Maybe,I'm bound to die alone,Withering away inside of a casket pigeons try their best to pick at.But,I can't help it.Lost,Is the art of catching a woman's attention.Still the same man as I used to be,Yet,Not as handsome as others found me years ago.What happened?...Why am I no good?...Earlier...

A Half-Empty Life – Day 230, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Don’t Mind Me – Day 219, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
If I told any of you that I want to live,It'd be a lie as big as saying how I want to end my existence.To improve,Enhance my experience,Is what I desire most.But,Do I deserve it?Is the question.And,As much as I enjoy waking up,I just feel like I shouldn't.Finding reasons to open my eyes and get...

Bloody Cloth Of A Ghost – Day 208, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A ghost town full of what seems to be apparitions trapped in a vessel they despise.Pounding in both ears is a silence arising while I stare into their eyes as,I steer clear from saying a word.I try to wave and say hi,But,What I get back is a stare more hypnotizing than death's,Yet,I shrug it off...
