Another year,Another reason to be thankful,With a tank full of ink to drown away what's fatal.Five months without any smoke,Five years without liquor on a table,Full of books and a bible I discovered wasn't a fable… Just the kind of guide I needed,To suffice my need for a brighter day and a way to fight...

Questions Or Excuses – Day 91, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many questions,So many questions… If you really found Jesus,Then,Why are you still bewitched by sins that still leave you,Breathless?… Isn't He supposed to fill you with,An abundance of love enough to,Squander the plans of He who rules this world of deception? When?Are you supposed to accept God's blessing,Of stillness you are destined for,After opening... Continue Reading →
Tunes Of Thunder – Day 78, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
God's thunder serenades my mind,When I'm consumed by the Darkness of night.As the eye of the storm settles in,A pen is what I peddle back and forth on a blank page mirroring my eyes,As I look into each cloud swarming in… After all,The rain is music to my ears.Sounds like my fingers tapping on a...

Taking A Walk – Day 48, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Walking endlessly for miles on end,Is all I can do as a man,Lost in thought,Without anyone I can call a friend.I've never been an athlete,Nor had any patience to learn how to dance,Each,Moment I've had in my life was spent pondering life's mysteries,While taking a stroll down a street where I felt like road kill…...

Love Enough To Be Let Go – Day 45, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
On most nights,I don't believe I will ever be loved,Again.Difficult it is to think as I live my life through a journal and a pen.It's a hard-knock life I don't regret.After all,It's the only thing I know how to do while I flow from a chest,Inflated by hope while exhaling my sins… I'm not perfect.Like...

Whoever She Is…
Women…They give you a confidence like,Putting your nonsense aside,To improve within timeTo fly… And,See things you never have,While holding the hand,Of a wife you trust will never let go regardless of where you stand,In a world with material in mind without shame while holding a glass,Of wine!Or,A blunt where they hide every truth they refuse...

I Belong Nowhere
Struggling with our sense of belonging is quite common.I mean,All of us desire family,A group to be apart of without ever going bitter,Rotten.But,Sometimes?The apple falls far from a tree left forgotten.Not a single pot of water poured into the ground,But,A pot of marijuana smoked while surrounded by the sounds,Of your dreams…Crumbling along each step taken...

Pits Of A Burning Soul
What is this feeling rotting inside each pit of my mangled soul,Where hot lava flows,Dropping all along a set of bones,Refusing to erode?… I don't think I'll ever know.Because,It flows in different currents,And.It's been reoccurring,During phases distinct from each other in a life I haven't been sure of,For the last several years… A guaranteed misery!Pondering...

Wolf In The Mirror
Alone in a world of wolves,And,I'm just a dog with bone that would.But,Why bark at a pack with ribs exposed to an eye that's full!Of hunger and rage,Left unsatisfied without slumber and grace.Salivating to revitalize my life by making up for many blunders and pain,Others felt from all of it… Accountability.The cost of pointing fingers...

Zonk’D – Freewrite #46
Certain things are true, certain things are not. For instance, when we were all told during elementary school that anything less than 8 hours of sleep is criminal, not a single teacher was lying about anything of that. Simply, a lesson learned after you finally decide to take off a pair of shoes an adolescent... Continue Reading →
