Finally, over three months off of weed smoke and it feels so good! But, lately, I've been having consecutive dreams where I would come across a pack or... Continue Reading →
A Three-Piece I’m Not Hungry For – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ties,Ties,Ties!They just don't suit me right.Feels more like,A noose choking to death,The kind of tranquil man I yearn to become in a world ran by financial success and duress,And…A suit is not part of who I am,Nor ever will it be for as long as I hold a journal and a pen… It's the only...

Euphoric Highs – Day 27, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Moments like these,I think about how I quit smoking joints and feel,Powerful,Grateful.More than I ever have before at any point in my life.Makes me feel as if I can,Fly.Do things no other human has done before.But,Still I cry.I cry tears of joy knowing how I'm no longer burning that bridge between,Myself and an inner-child I...

Can I Ever Be Forgiven? – Day 25, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many mistakes.Only one to blame.The man I'm forced to see in the mirror,Every.Single.Day… Will I ever make it out of this hole,Will I ever fully change?From,A frown that feels permanent,To,An everlasting smile on my face?

A Letter for An Angel – Day 24, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
This is really random, but I figured to myself that there's a chance I would never see you again and would be mad at myself if I didn't tell you how beautiful you are to me, how your gorgeous, glittery smile stayed in my mind from the moment I saw you. You have a glow,... Continue Reading →
Purified By The Purge – Day 23, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Purging my mind of your memory is a necessity.Although a lovely woman you were with much for me to be thankful for,Thinking of you is like,Dipping my feet into quicksand.Sand liquified by the Earth shattering beneath me that moment I,Found out how you had never loved me from our very first kiss.A kiss of death...

Checking In On My Own Soul (Prose), Day 21
Three months into sobriety from marijuana and I cant believe it. But, as proud as I am from deciding not to encase every grin away behind a curtain of smoke, I still feel trapped. Recently, I began a new job hoping I can eventually pay off my college debt to go back to school. My... Continue Reading →
No More Scotch In The Mist – Day 19, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Rain.It'll flood the scene regardless of pace.Whether it's cats and dogs or a scotch mist,If it doesn't stop in a matter of time,You will drown and be embalmed in,The minds of others by fluids only harvested when one is teary-eyed,And,Never will the thought be a drop-dead image for,Anyone seeking a sight for sore eyes when,They're...

Going all in.What does that mean,Exactly?Does it mean giving everything up,Including a full plate of satisfaction?Staying hungry,Yet,Satiated by the joy of your passion?I only ask because,I'm not happy knowing I've been hired for a new job,I already desire to quit before starting my first day for what I truly want… A stage where I can...

In Hot Pursuit! – Day 17, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
What are we here to pursue?Is it a job where we dress in a suit,And a tie while we lie to ourselves and choose,Money over a dream we give an excuse,To put to the side for a bill,Painted with more falsehoods than truth? Obvious,Isn't it?What do you think of more often than dollars printed in,Infrared... Continue Reading →
