"Get ready,We're going to the supermarket."What an adventure for a child anytime Mom would announce the next haul of necessaties,Potential goodies for us to indulge on if well-behaved.Missing out on a chance to hop on a shopping cart was equal to attending classes on a hot,Summer day.Being buried in groceries was better than staying home...

Urn Your Way Out – Day 232, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
This isn't a poem,Nor prose,Nor a monologue,But,A warning.A warning about how good drugs,Of any kind,Make you feel.How downers will lift you up from the sky,Just to drop you deeper into that pool of regret you've decided to swim in.How uppers will force you to crash into the ground,Like molten-red meteors blazing its way into soil...

A Half-Empty Life – Day 230, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sadness.Sadness is that half-empty glass of water giving life to a waning heart dry of all kinds of love spoken.That half-empty glass of water you'll never choke on regardless of how it's poured in.Into an esophagus sore from crying for hours on end,With bulging eyes getting too tired to open.And,I know it all too well.Because,Because,I'm...

The Magnifying Glass – Day 229, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sunlight's shining upon me!But,From a magnifying glass I can't see.Heat-seeking a man working with his plan B,Instead,Of a past dream to live a life of innocence.Yet,None of us never had a chance to,Have we?A hard pill to swallow.But,It's a pill that won't leave you hollow,The same way your decisions will while choosing to wallow,About what...

How Bad Can Less Pain Be? – Day 228, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
My foot isn't in searing pain,The same way God has ordained my body to feel.How?I have no idea.My habits have been quite the same,With a small change here and there while I read a,Story I wish I were living along a sweet cup,Of lies I've been drinking anytime I need a,Break from reality...But,Who am I...

Clear Waters – Day 227, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Smell Of Fresh Soil – Day 225, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fresh mulch permeates the air,As new seeds are planted into a mind,Where ideas are desperate to germinate.Staying stuck in the weeds is no longer suitable for a soul thirsty to feel something new.Something besides dry humor,And,A plate of burgers along french fries while watching whatever the algorithm decides to feed it that night.No more city...

Dollar Store Bags – Day 223, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Flimsy.Ripping at the slightest tension.Such weak garbage bags I keep for baggage I carry,As heavy as each rejection I've suffered,Been blessed with,However I feel during the moment.It's why I change them as fast as I can,Before debris scatters all over my floor,Out of my control.Kind of like,My emotions encountering a new palm I grab,With a...

Games I Don’t Want To Play – Day 222, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
If some women were Yu-Gi-Oh cards,They'd be pots of greed.If some women were a deck of playing cards,They'd be a Royal Flush and flush your life down a drain,And,Aim for the weeds.If some women were uno cards they'd be the reverse,And,Rehearse an excuse to leave as soon as your wallet gets a little too lean!Regardless...
