You really can't complain for the way your life is at this moment knowing there's a solution to everything.I don't believe we're ever confused about what's holding us back, what we need to change about ourselves. I believe we all know what that particular problem is and we're either too hesitant/ashamed to face it or... Continue Reading →
Sonic & Tails – Day 342, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Genesis.Unable to be traced back no matter how often I reminisce,About what used to be between myself,And,A mistress I was messing with.Thoughts flying by at sonic speed while dipping into medicine.A coin flip propelling me towards the edge,Slipping into nightmares through sedatives,Exposing addiction to be the foretale to a story full of disastrous events,And,Bliss of...

Bubblegum – Day 341, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blaming God for the world's travesties seems inocuous,Doesn't it?An idea we're inoculated by as if it's the cure for the world'scollective illness.As if pointing a finger towards our creator is our magic wand,Making our problems disappear.In reality,We awaken everyday with a choice.And,How unfortunate is it that some of us are enveloped by such insurmountable darkness,Coercing...

Simplicity (Monologue) – Day 340, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Our Time To Smile – Day 338, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A year of abstinence from inhaling chronic to set the record straight.My vices aren't in charge as I doctor myself back to good health,And,Tune into the fate in which God has made for me by wrapping my palms around another page,Another pen,Another poem I recite as I find my way back home within a stage.No...

Bargain Sale – Day 337, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Assimilation has never been my style.Quite frankly,I'd rather be what God intended me to be.A man free from labels I was once forced to believe,Would lead me through a path worthwhile.Labels like drunk,Pot head,And,Rich!When all I really was,Was a child who tripped and fell into a ditch,Never to be found again until I rose from... Continue Reading →
Friendly Boundaries – Day 336, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Cycle Of Peace – Day 335, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Awakened.Triumphant.Alive!Withered.Lethargic.Dead inside...Repurposed.Reborn.A resurgence!Acceptance,Resilience.An excursion...Ascendance.Astonished.Free!Resurfaced.Appreciation.Peace...
Shivering Confidence – Day 334, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
How can I be confident as my palms tremble in the presence of a God I can never be?All anyone sees when I recite poetry is the energy,I'm given to push forward.It doesn't mean I'm not scared of what may fall from the brick-and-mortar I've built like the former.The only thing bravery requires is unwaivered...

Routine Heartbreak – Day 333, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Don't ask me how my day is,Nor what's wrong with me.You can care less about the pain in my arteries,Being pumped through my legs weak enough to not walk,Yet,Strong enough to crawl towards what's hard to see for most,But,Routine for me to cope with...Limitless,Are my shoulders carrying another's tears as I asseverate my love for...
