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...

Down To The Last Letter – Day 247, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
If you believe I'm A B C,You might be right.Because,I'm a writer who will be free,For the way I see life,All the swank in my step on a stage I spit on with delight,And,A tank never on E for every pill I wouldn't pop so that I can see light,Blinding whoever's throwing shade while I...

Johnny Bravo – Day 246, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Braggadocious when I have to be without bravado getting in the way of my mission at hand.Jobny Bravo kind of confidence when I tune into rhythms in my palms swaying from its backhand.It's what I do,All I know,As a nerd bringing help to a world drawing blanks,Manhood intact even when I'm rejected by so many.At...

Good With My Tongue – Day 241, Never Give Up On My Dreamz
Multilingual,Yet there's something about American soil that strips you of everything that makes you colorful.What started out as spanish became spanglish,Then english I was verbally trained to use as a weapon towards freedom I've never had before."Callate la boca!"Mom would yell at me for having any thought of my own.It wasn't until I understood what...

Nothing, Yet. – Day 238, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Several days,No response.Yet,They still post,Anyway.No body language indicating whether or not you scared them away.God-forbid you write back,"Hey,Is everything okay?"Or else,You'll be labeled 'too cingy',Too convincingly,After being hooked into a lie too exhausting to face,Over,And,Over again.Connections being possible for a man others write off as a reason to laugh at His expense...Nonerheless,God gave me enough...

Law Of Land – Day 235, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A "normie,"A clown,And,A gay girl walk into a bar.The clown,Along the gay girl sat away from the normie who would rather sit alone while writing a bar.Both were examining his posture,His choice of apparel,And,Were appalled.How he didn't look like they did without being close-minded to what differed from the law,Of a land he never thought...

Normie – Day 234, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
"Normie!"Is what I was called on my way out of a bar,How pretentious.Obnoxious.I thought,With all that's going on in a world going cold,Heartwarming it would be to interact with a world that prides itself on kindness!How thoughtless.To insult me without knowing who I am,What my views are darkened by certain hues marred by monsters with...

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...

Sight For Sore Eyes – Day 231, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sore.Exhausted.From carrying weight on two shoulders trembling over an extended lay-off,From caring about herself.She tries to smile,But,How can she when it's been years since she's been called beautiful by anyone?And.What really tears me apart is,How enchanting her pupils are,As black as a blackberry is purple.Like,The only Tulip blossoming in a field of grass turning beige...
