I find myself asking often, "What am I doing with my life?" And, I don't really know why. I'm a writer, poet. I perform as many times as I possibly can throughout the week. I have a job allowing me the free time to be myself. What do I really have to complain about? Sure,... Continue Reading →
Seduced By Pain – Day 135, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sick and tired of,Being sick and tired.Although alcohol and weed are no longer parts of my life,I still struggle with food and lust.And,I abhore it so much more than you can ever imagine.Because,Any time I find myself free to write a poem,I get lost,Entrapped in the thought of what keeps me at my lowest.With only...

The Ice Cream Melted – 134, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Cupcakes,Candy bars,And,Ice cream seem innocent,Until,I raise the bar,And,Cut out anyone sugarcoating their solidarity in a melting pot,Most are simmered in… Just when you think things are sweet,They spoil when left on a shelf,Forgotten,While rotting in a Hell,Hotter than fire withheld in our pupils… Whoever's they to you!Democratic,Conservative,Independent,You choose!In the end,We all cook our food,On a...

The Maroon Lips Of A Wolf – Day 118, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Suffused with tints of red gone maroon overnight.Luminous beneath moonshine,Enough to blind our eyes.Human souls morphing into their true lupine form,Howling into a sky darkened by mischievous desires worn,With a chip on their shoulders for,A mere display.What they eat?Is human flesh as their compassion decays.Their lips drip with lifeforce syphoned as,A grandstand for others to...

Artificial Flavors On A Plate Of Gold – Day 117, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Food for thought,Nowadays,Is artificial.Ideas refined by a process of elimination:Abandoning what makes us human.Intelligence automated by a vicious cycle of repetition.Robotic in our movement towards salvation.A salvation we'll never reach through a diet of lies most are forced to consume.But,Why do we continue our walk towards darkness?Where truth cannot be seen for miles,And,Miles on end?Are...

Burning Shiver – Day 115, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Wind,As Icy as Her heart,Burns through each vein as I inhale,Exhale.Her departure was like,Being excommunicated by the Only One I've had faith in,With exoneration as far as a horizon I glare towards,Keeping distance with every step taken forward… Moments like these,I ask myself,Why not die and wipe the slate clean?Reborn with a touch not knowing...

An Expresso, Please! – Day 85, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
What I express so often,Would wake you up from mourning your dreams,Coughing up doubt while clearing a mind from a nightmare you've seen,Too many times when closing your eyes to the screech,Of a lie you've grown accustomed to… Of how you're not good enough.Of how you're not destined to fly over incoming gifts you were...

High From The Vapors – Day 77, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Decaying Gray Doors – Day 71, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In progress)
Havana nights,On my mind,Like,Never before.But,I'm at a mic,With a line,Multiplied!So,That I can weather any storm.And…Reign over the eye,Keeping watch of my every move,Looking for the right opportunity to strike!Until I'm consumed by its inevitable pour… Blessed am I,To have cleared a sky,Pervaded by,Scrutinizing clouds blocking my view from a horizon,Revealing such tantalizing beauty,Anyone would fall...

Sweet & Savory – Day 67, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Some people scoff at the thought of putting pineapple on pizza,But,Do you want to know what I think?F$@k em.They just don't understand how savory cannot live without the sweetness life has to offer.Regardless,Eat a piece of chocolate with salt.You'll see what I mean and thank me later for it.But,Thank me in your mind,Don't text me...
