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...

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...

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...

Church Bell Chimes – Day 141, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Church bell chimes flood both eardrums with a vision,Poured out from His fingertips in drip-drops of,Blood.Sweat.Tears.All mixed into a cherry red painting brighter than both cheeks when flushed by.The day He took his eyes off of a sky,Gleaming with a way out of an eternal abyss.Hoping to find beauty in an image He can bear...

Packing In Another Joint – Day 139, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Never do I know where to begin,Nor,How to write it,Nor,How to address an engorged heart with a need to burst and shout…So much pain!Without knowing where to put it other than one place,A page,Where I've been having an abundance of doubt.Yet,Not once have I cared for the darkness shrouding my mind…I care to find an...

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 →
Seduced By Pain – Day 135, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sick and tired of,Being sick and tired.Although alcohol and weed are no longer parts of my life,I still struggle with food and lust.And,I abhore it so much more than you can ever imagine.Because,Any time I find myself free to write a poem,I get lost,Entrapped in the thought of what keeps me at my lowest.With only...

The Ice Cream Melted – 134, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Cupcakes,Candy bars,And,Ice cream seem innocent,Until,I raise the bar,And,Cut out anyone sugarcoating their solidarity in a melting pot,Most are simmered in… Just when you think things are sweet,They spoil when left on a shelf,Forgotten,While rotting in a Hell,Hotter than fire withheld in our pupils… Whoever's they to you!Democratic,Conservative,Independent,You choose!In the end,We all cook our food,On a...
