Just a few months ago,I was able to sit on this same chair,Wide-eyed,Energized for the peace and silence the day brings,When I' seated away from a glass house where a new shard cracks and falls each waking morning.New poem in mind,Ready for as many repititions it took for me to memorize,But,My eyelids feel heavier and...

Subtle Shell Shock – Day 158, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
"Why can't you just take a compliment?"I was asked by a humble man,As I was disinfecting the halls of his offices.Little did he know I had more guilt crawling up my esophagus,Than truth I should've accounted for before sticking my chest out for all to marvel at.But,I understood his sentiments,As I lowered my rag from...

Stormy Songs – Day 146, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stormy nights call for a song to be sung,From the deepest parts of your bowel,About all that is foul,In a life where the crows scowl,At every smile you glitter towards a night sky empty of stars… Ask youself.What reigns over your mind at the sound of thunder?Is it all who plunder your joy for a...

Maybe, You’re Not Hearing Things – Day 143, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
What if you're not crazy?What if you are hearing those voices exactly how your mind interprets them to be?What if that laughter piercing through your eardrums isn't as jovial as you believed,Far from any kind of unison with yours? What then?Do you proceed to spark war between yourself and others you want to love?Or,Do you... Continue Reading →
Sweet Ole’ Valentine – Day 142, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A valentine sweeter than the moment your tastebuds touch upon icing on a cake you've been waiting to be served.A valentine who gifts you the roses you deserve,Regardless if you've succeeded or not in a journey of redemption you've earned.A valentine who wants to be your valentine every single day passing by as we thirst,For...

The Plate Is About To Shatter – Day 137, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I find myself asking often, "What am I doing with my life?" And, I don't really know why. I'm a writer, poet. I perform as many times as I possibly can throughout the week. I have a job allowing me the free time to be myself. What do I really have to complain about? Sure,... Continue Reading →
Lost Love In The Same Sea – Day 127, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
She fell in love with a Wanderer,Never knowing where he'd end up next.Confused by every step he'd take,She'd brace herself each time her cellphone rang,Anticipating the worst news possible.But,For as long as her mind allowed her to remember,His voice pushed soundwaves into her eardrums as soothing as chilly breeze on a hot,Summer day."I'm in front...

Laminated Cries – Day 121, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Staring into the sun going blind,By the beauty it shines,Sounds more appealing,Staring into a cave of bewilderment without an ending in sight.But,Who am I to claim what's better for anyone?I'm still having trouble looking up at a sky without dreading what's,All in my head.Failure my thoughts conjure up,While I lay inert on my bed,Praying for...

The Asylum For Artists – Day 119, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An Asylum of artists is,Where my soul belongs.Normal?I am not.More so abnormal with how I belch from a belly growling for a song,I and others can say to.Grateful,I am,To exist as an outcast while on an edge as fatal as,Every slip into an abyss we can't climb back from… It's a blessing,Really,More than a curse...

The Voice Of Bluez – Day 113, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A break.For a voice broken by the pain.Pain I feel from the second I wake,In a dream-like state I find myself lost in,Often… Offset colors blind my eyes when attempting to look past it,But,Every hue paints over what isn't tragic,With memories intending to blackout my vision for a brighter future… Red…Opaque on a mile's worth...
