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...

Sand In Your Eyes – Day 163, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Wind blows by as loud as engines roar on a breezySpring night.Footsteps pound concrete like,Emptied Corona bottles falling on to a ground where roses refuse to grow,Where grass often dies.Palms sway back and forth,Back and forth,Holding on to each other as loose as we close our eyes,When we're forced to hear each other's outcry.Around here,No...

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...

Liked By No One – Day 159, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Not everyone is going to like you,But,That's okay.Be yourself anyway.When you love what you do,It won't resonate with others who have nothing to lose. As grim as it may be,We will die and there won't be a chance to rewind.Everything will be set in stone without a chance go break through what lied,Underneath a heart... Continue Reading →
A Blank Page For A Clean Slate – Day 152, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blank,Like the page I'm writing on,Yet,It's necessary.Wiping the slate clean in a mind replaying too many horrors exhausting itself into oblivion.Who am I kidding?No need there is to revisit a past I'm no longer interested in.A past I've worn out on a sleeve I've ripped off in a war against demons insisting on my downfall.No,Sir!I...

Beauty In A Broken Mirror – Day 151, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Family,That aren't family,Are never satisfied until you're pacified by their insanity.Can it be the worst thing to go through,When you're alone?Truth is,As tragic as it could've been when you're the one who's labeled useless,Their severance is a blessing in disguise,As you rip off the mask you've hid behind,And,Realize the image they're despised,Is an image you... Continue Reading →
Bats & Pine Tar – Day 149, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fruits of labor ripen when your frantic fingertips quit cherrypicking,On the basis of a sweettooth that never knows what is good for itself.Sometimes,Our hands must get dirtied by grinding through what we fear most.Facing what's scariest to our heart no matter how much faster it begins to beat.Smearing your palms in pine tar,Picking up that... Continue Reading →
Drifters – Day 147, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Drifters have no place in the world,But,That's okay.We leave our marks,In a world so scarce of love,In hopes to leave a smile on someone's face.In hopes to change what we yearn to change,In hearts made of stone when staring into Medusa's gaze.The snake slithering in grass we often forget to cut.The bane of our existence...

Surviving Your Disdain – Day 145, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
You can push me,Kick me,Stab me,Shoot me,But,I'll still stand up as long as I have an ounce of breath left.You may hate me,But,I love you either way as I keep my distance from your detestation for my existence.I refuse to be rattled by your desire to see my life buried by the debris from your...
