Let go,Let go,Let go...Why must I do so?Why can't I have one bodily desire that doesn't equate to fool's gold?Desires that wouldn't blind my eyes from the value love brings,Till I'm too broken to pay for sins more than a few know?All I want is a one night stand,Some booze,And,A few rolls of weed until...

A Poet’s Tundra – Day 218, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
Searching for profit through proper syntax,As a prophet without a lot to give back.It's hard enough to read a bible knowing I am not intact,But,I plan on breaking free from a spell through the whiplash,I receive from God's word while I sit back,And,Reminisce on mistakes I've made.Mistakes making the big man I've became,By accepting my...

The Empty Chrysalis – Day 215, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A chrysalis frozen in place for the rest of eternity.A cocoon desperate to hatch a handful of regrets rather than spirited paternity.A lifeless vessel adorning vanity more than selflessness opening the door to paradise.We're hurting deeply,Aren't we?Too despise the thought raising children made me,Cry internally.Tears as salty as an ocean too dangerous to drink from...

An Apple No One Would Eat – Day 195, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Loneliness.I'm attached to it the same way an apple is attached to the branch of a tree.Deeply rooted in soil as dead as the inner-child left dangling inside of me.Yet,Still.I'm watered by an entity I can't see.All I see is darkness while wobbling to its breath every time It breathes.In,And,Out,Until I fall off and roll...

Glowy Pearls – Day 190, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Is it real?Is it fake?Who knows anymore?But,What does it matter,Anyway?Because,As old and tragic as the "news" gets,We still treat each other like,That view full of darkened hues our eyes wish to forget.Like,Gleaming bright colors on a canvas we paint over for an image we end up throwing out before the paint ever sets.The only disaster...

Drifters – Day 147, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Drifters have no place in the world,But,That's okay.We leave our marks,In a world so scarce of love,In hopes to leave a smile on someone's face.In hopes to change what we yearn to change,In hearts made of stone when staring into Medusa's gaze.The snake slithering in grass we often forget to cut.The bane of our existence...

Freedom From Love Broken – Day 84, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Freedom,Is what you gave me by leaving,Regardless of how wrong it was to hurt you.Your departure gave my life more meaning,More than the moment you said,"I love you…"As I was left to work through,My vices.All alone,Within a glass home shattering above me,By the vibrations of your silence… Here I am,Now sober at the end of... Continue Reading →
A Three-Piece I’m Not Hungry For – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ties,Ties,Ties!They just don't suit me right.Feels more like,A noose choking to death,The kind of tranquil man I yearn to become in a world ran by financial success and duress,And…A suit is not part of who I am,Nor ever will it be for as long as I hold a journal and a pen… It's the only... Continue Reading →
An Animal The World Couldn’t Cage – Day 16, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blowing steam,To iron out some things.To flatten out the creases in my mind before I blink,On a stage!Where I present my pain,With a smile I have to force until it feels real on a face I barely want to see… More of my muscles are in use the more I glower,Like an owl,Perched on the... Continue Reading →
Incase… – Freewrite #49
Incase… Just in case this is the last opportunity I'll ever get to flush out a soul dirtied with bad memories I feel forced to remember above all else from the first second of each morning I don't want to wake. And, I get it. I'm blessed. To still have my family around. To still... Continue Reading →
