"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Favorite dinners may not be what you need,After all.I'd love to eat chinese food every single day,But,I'd get sick over time and gain enough weight to hate myself all over again.Smiling my way into a hospital visit isn't worth as much as sucking my teeth at a plate of vegetables my tastebuds aren't accustomed to.But,As...

Life's been pretty simple,Yet,Seemingly pointless.I've been doing the usual:Open mics,Open mics,And some more open mics,Yet I've performed less due to how I've been feeling.Monday was straight forward at KGB.Showed up after a twenty-nine and sixty-something cent meal at Burger Head.Paid for my seven dollar mini bottle of Canada Dry soda water.Sat down inside of the...

"Shut your mouth!"Is what I yell in my mind after a word salad I'm exhausted of eating anytime I'm hungry for change.I can't really blame anyone for what I put on my plate.After every ounce of turmoil I've been served,I know better than to whip up a dish worth throwing to the curb.But,I eat it...

Shirts tucked in mattered more than my glaring depression in middle school.More visits were paid to the principle's office than the arms I needed to assure my mind that my life would turn out okay to say the least.The only solution that was thought to be best was to tie my legs,Whipped until I followed...

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are best eaten when the spread is thick.Globs of pure happiness being mushed around taste buds jumping around in excitement,Ecstasy.After countless days refraining from eating such sweet delicacies life has to offer,Balancing out the salty moments.But,What happens when all you have on your kitchen countertops,Inside the fridge,Are containers of PB...

Whether it's gravity or not,I'm grounded on the same spot,I've rotted on while looking for a space I can thrive inside of while I write another drop.My bars stay heavy,But,I stay steady,In place for as long as God may let me...I'm used to this weight on my shoulders.Once upon a time,I was a three-hundred pound...

Lately,All of my poems have been getting shorter.There's just not much to say having the same pot of rice and beans everyday.Feeling my bones tremble a bit longer as I hold the weight of my loneliness on my shoulders.What else is there to mention besides the gargantuan stake piercing through my gut everyday I wake...

Politics are nothing,But,A sham used to divide us in ways so unnatural to the human heart.Yet,Most of us feed into it knowing love is what we're hungry for.Sometimes I wonder,Why can't we conserve our energy,Play our favorite demo tapes,And,Dance together celebrating our independence?Our ability to wake up,And,Choose unity rather than a reason to shame another...

Nakes Flesh.As appealing as a plate of lasagna when salivating after a 3- day fast.Making your way through each layer until you reach the pink center is just so,Satisfying like a medium-rare steak cooked to perfection,Out of the kitchen,At last...But,As rare as an escape is from such an addiction,All I can think about is seeking...

Braggadocious when I have to be without bravado getting in the way of my mission at hand.Jobny Bravo kind of confidence when I tune into rhythms in my palms swaying from its backhand.It's what I do,All I know,As a nerd bringing help to a world drawing blanks,Manhood intact even when I'm rejected by so many.At...
