Open mics are exhausting.Full of so many personalities,Opportunities,And,Support most of us don't feel like we deserve.The chance to observe reasons why we're so hard on ourselves.Dreams we're blessed to witness come alive,As well as doe for reasons we may never know.But,It's a sign worthwhile.An adventure for a drifter with no table to place his journal...

The Eyes Of A Drifter – Day 271 , Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An observor is all you can be when you're a drifter without a home to lay His head in.Human interaction is what I've dreaded,For as long as I can remember while heading towards heaven,I find in a pen,And,Paper littered with my thoughts,Dreams,Knowing I will never receive a citation for it.I'm quite proud to have hoarded,Journal...

Wish Upon A Star – Day 264, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
What do I wish for as the star others claim me to be?On most days,I'm darkened by visions of an abyss I'm trapped in while I rake in a seed,Into a ground split open by thunderous cries I'm not able to contain,And,Release!Internally while I walk rampant,Shouting for these desires to cease...Every desire to flee from...

Refraining From The Touch – Day 249, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sin.The flesh loves it so much.Quite frankly,I don't see anything else it adores.Just being in my own body,Feeling what it craves,Is enough proof for me to know God is real while watching my every move.And,As I fall,And fall,And,Fall time and time again,All I desire is to cleanse my spirit of this atrocity.Lust…What a demon it...

Forgiving Who Hurt You – Day 248, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
Biases occur more often than,Others caring more for another's crisis in,Hopes they heal every wound drowning everyone surrounding them,In their own shallow waters.We may hurt each other no matter the price is,And,It's disappointing when you're trying to have faith in humanity thriving.Yet,There's no cure quite like forgiveness along a hand pulling someone out of darkness...

The Most Beautiful – Day 171, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Beautiful would be the only way to describe you.A blessing it was to rub your shoulders down and remind you of that.I'm saddened how you were made to feel ugly,While deteriorating in front of everyone to see.But…Your image is way too far from horrendous to me.My only grandmother,Who cared to love my existence regardless of...

A Survivor Of Accidental Love – Day 168, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Aroused by the thought of a touch I haven't felt in so long."I hate you!""I don't want you!"I need you…""I love you…"Oh,How I miss it all.The back and forth coercing that heated moment to combust.Bodies rubbing up against each other until smoke was in the air.Letting our blunt burn out before that love we felt...

A Thousand Pound Eye Bags – Day 164, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Una Vaca – Day 162, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I'm not a cow,Not once have I moo'd.Yet,You continue to label me what I am not,And,Wonder why I'm never in the mood.But,It's what you've named me,What other choice do I have,Other than to answer to it?You give me milk balls,Either way,So,I can't be mad at you!This,Game we play?Well,It was fun at first until I ran...

Monsters Aren’t Scary – Day 160, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
To belong?There's nothing that I know about it.But,I've had no other choice other than to be strong while I' crowded.Crowded by laughter every time I turn a corner.It only gets louder when I peek behind me while I burn a border,In my mind,Separating it from fear attempting to sneak its way into my eyes,Through the...
