Boundaries.I didn't realize there were any after offering to console me.But,As usual.I' treated more like a game rather than a man with feelings trampled by loneliness,And,A need to run away.To run away from the presence of anyone where there's potential for a bond to be built upon...It seems like everyone is too tired to lay...

Stains In Our Broken Glass – Day 325, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stains.Cuts.Bruises.All represent your will to persevere through it all.Every night you've bawled,From the thought of everyone leaving you during your toughest moments.Every night you've stepped on a stage while heckled by the hopeless.Every morning you've went to work no matter how much you've despised a job paying for each show,And,A meal your closest friends weren't...

Detonation On The Dot – Day 322, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
"Hi!How are you?""I'm great!How are you?""I'm fine,Thank you.My name is (such and such),How about you?""Mine is (what you'll dream about),Nice to meet you!""I'm glad we caught up since we didn't get the chance to last time we'd seen each other.""Me too!"I really loved what you performed,It was amazing.""I can say the same about you,I appreciate...

Selfless Fingertips – Day 312, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An epiphany was had by the time I laid my head back down before going in for my double shifts at work for the weekend:"What will I ever gain by overworking a voice growing tired of speaking what someone,Somewhere may need to hear when they've grown too weary?"Rest.Pacing myself.Is what I've needed more than an...

Forgot To Do My Laundry – Day 310, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Redressing my wrong doings in a fashion I'm confortable with is not what my focus should be.I can change my jacket all I want,But,It won't stop me from getting soaked in pouring rain,As acidic as each tear dropping from my cheeks,Flushed by bad calls all of us make once in a while.I'd rather wear the...

The Dead Dandelions – Day 289, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
She disappears like dandelions fluttering through bright summer skies.A one-of-a-kind,Sight for sore eyes,I'll never see again as time,Only ticks by faster,The longer I'm alive without any love to chase after...Regardless,I unserstand.Her existence was a lesson for me to learn how to look past,What will eventually die,Rot away,To live a joyous life without depending on anything...

Madness Of Solitude – Day 270, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Solitude.Isolation.A super power in a world over-stimulated by social ties choking their senses until the point of oblivion.Does it mean I've steered away from interaction?No.It just means I have a drive speeding towards peace while I'm on a road full of too many infractions.I've had enough relationships.My situation is too complicated for most to understand...

Moving As Fast As Time – Day 253, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Time.Time,Time,Time,Time...Why is it speeding?Isn't there a limit on a road where things crash,And,Break into pieces?Will I ever know what peace is,While it accelerates without breaks I have needed?Will I end up crashing without seatbelts to keep me in place,Or,Will I swerve just in time to avoid a tragedy,And,Live a life worth living rather than dying...

Nothing, Yet. – Day 238, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Several days,No response.Yet,They still post,Anyway.No body language indicating whether or not you scared them away.God-forbid you write back,"Hey,Is everything okay?"Or else,You'll be labeled 'too cingy',Too convincingly,After being hooked into a lie too exhausting to face,Over,And,Over again.Connections being possible for a man others write off as a reason to laugh at His expense...Nonerheless,God gave me enough...

Cue The Thunder, – Day 236, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Thunderstorms are relaxing for a heart hardened by an infinite amount of rocks thrown.Being pelted by unwarranted barbs on a daily basis,Was enough to numb my soul to the pain.Barbs thrown by those who loved me for every show I put on until the curtains closed.Those comments I over-heard when standing on the other side,Whether...
