God's thunder serenades my mind,When I'm consumed by the Darkness of night.As the eye of the storm settles in,A pen is what I peddle back and forth on a blank page mirroring my eyes,As I look into each cloud swarming in… After all,The rain is music to my ears.Sounds like my fingers tapping on a...

Breathe Again – Day 55, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blank pages,For me,Are oceans of solitude and solace I can drown inside of,With a smile I can't find elsewhere.The susurations of loose-leaves falling on my deaf ears,Vibrate the kind of love I look for in the palms of another.Palms I wish I was holding on to while surrounded by so many doctors smothering my faith,For...

Cold Middle – Day 11, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Beef patties in a microwave for under a minute,What happens?Kind of what you're abandonment did to me.Left me in a searing rage,With a heart colder than Winter's Sea.But,Shame on my lack of vision in all honesty.Because,You've never really smiled when looking my way.You just,Looked down on me,Somberly… Yet,I understand,Dad.Because I've disappointed myself by leaving my...

What is the point of me still being alive when I hold no connection to any living thing?Literally.All I do is wake up.Contemplate my vices,How I should quit them as I proceed to clean my face and room for my daily sit down with weed in one hand and,A heart full of pain regardless of...
