"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Not everyone is going to like you,But,That's okay.Be yourself anyway.When you love what you do,It won't resonate with others who have nothing to lose. As grim as it may be,We will die and there won't be a chance to rewind.Everything will be set in stone without a chance go break through what lied,Underneath a heart... Continue Reading →
"Why can't you just take a compliment?"I was asked by a humble man,As I was disinfecting the halls of his offices.Little did he know I had more guilt crawling up my esophagus,Than truth I should've accounted for before sticking my chest out for all to marvel at.But,I understood his sentiments,As I lowered my rag from...

There goes one response,Then,Two.A possible third that never comes through.Silence…A message as direct as it gets as I end up conversing with the journal I write in.Friendship?Is an old idea I try not to buy into,Anymore,Now that I've had all I can take.The pain of being ignored is an ache I feel in every bone...

Her beauty…So,Unreal,Surreal.Whenever she bats her eyes,It's as if,Joy glimmers into mine,While my mind reels.Going through painted memories,Highlight reels I create picturing how it would be like,If,Our fingers intertwined,And,Peeled away each wall where our mysteries lie… Such beauty I wouldn't dare to undress.Because,Seductive she is not.She's more like,The stars glittering throughout A night sky infusing my...

Chit-chatter.Gossip.Labels.Stigmas.What do they matter when you're doing all that you can to keep it together?They may stick for a while,But,With enough solution,The adhesive loosens,And,There you have it.An opportunity to strip off the jealousy and hatred of another vows to dress you in.Nothing's permanent…Not a single flailing desire.Not a single bead of sweat dripping from pressure...

To bake,Or,To cook,Is the question at hand.Both take place in the same setting,Yet,There's a difference in each process.Patience lays its palm on your back
Blank,Like the page I'm writing on,Yet,It's necessary.Wiping the slate clean in a mind replaying too many horrors exhausting itself into oblivion.Who am I kidding?No need there is to revisit a past I'm no longer interested in.A past I've worn out on a sleeve I've ripped off in a war against demons insisting on my downfall.No,Sir!I...

Family,That aren't family,Are never satisfied until you're pacified by their insanity.Can it be the worst thing to go through,When you're alone?Truth is,As tragic as it could've been when you're the one who's labeled useless,Their severance is a blessing in disguise,As you rip off the mask you've hid behind,And,Realize the image they're despised,Is an image you...

A fresh coat of snow can't wash away the dirty pile underneath.A filthy mound of what used to be,Turned into ice now melting away,Seeping into the porous concrete.Sewers and subway vents.Soil we often forget to care for in a city too busy to think twice about its own actions… Still.Youthful souls are allowed to roam...

Fruits of labor ripen when your frantic fingertips quit cherrypicking,On the basis of a sweettooth that never knows what is good for itself.Sometimes,Our hands must get dirtied by grinding through what we fear most.Facing what's scariest to our heart no matter how much faster it begins to beat.Smearing your palms in pine tar,Picking up that...
