How can I be confident as my palms tremble in the presence of a God I can never be?All anyone sees when I recite poetry is the energy,I'm given to push forward.It doesn't mean I'm not scared of what may fall from the brick-and-mortar I've built like the former.The only thing bravery requires is unwaivered...

Routine Heartbreak – Day 333, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Don't ask me how my day is,Nor what's wrong with me.You can care less about the pain in my arteries,Being pumped through my legs weak enough to not walk,Yet,Strong enough to crawl towards what's hard to see for most,But,Routine for me to cope with...Limitless,Are my shoulders carrying another's tears as I asseverate my love for...

For No One – Day 332, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I miss my mother on some nights,Especially,When I strike out with women my heart chooses to center in a shrine of love I've now abandoned.Nowadays,I can't fathom the thought of dying alone,But,I'm trying to with how desensitized I am by the rejections I've grown accustomed to.What does my heart have to lose?Even mom hates me,Although,I...

Not My Kind Of Salad – Day 330, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
"Shut your mouth!"Is what I yell in my mind after a word salad I'm exhausted of eating anytime I'm hungry for change.I can't really blame anyone for what I put on my plate.After every ounce of turmoil I've been served,I know better than to whip up a dish worth throwing to the curb.But,I eat it...

What He Doesn’t Have – Day 328, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An apartment.An instrument.An encounter before I had the chance to lay eyes on her.Is what he has that I don't.He made her heart sing before I could've.He laid her down on a bed with nothing around,But,The keys to a heart mine desires to open and mesh with.If only...If only destiny brought us together in time,Before...

My Way Or No Way – Day 327, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Criticism's hard to receive,When you already have a clear vision of how you see,Yourself on a stage full of imposters.Imposters seeking medicine of all kinds to doctor the character they've chosen to be!But,I just ignore it while I foster what works for me.Being myself despite of the cost hurting no one,Besides those full of jealousy,I'll...

Stains In Our Broken Glass – Day 325, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stains.Cuts.Bruises.All represent your will to persevere through it all.Every night you've bawled,From the thought of everyone leaving you during your toughest moments.Every night you've stepped on a stage while heckled by the hopeless.Every morning you've went to work no matter how much you've despised a job paying for each show,And,A meal your closest friends weren't...

Queen-Sized Mattress – day 324, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Shapes,Sizes are all different,But,I still sense the same spirit within,Each body blocking my vision,From noticing the possibility to live life without her.Models in their own right representing who I truly desire without a doubt,Searching through the curves of another hoping it's her I encounter.Yet,It never works,Does it?All I'm left with are mannequins possessing a touch...

Stamped In Blood – Day 323, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
No more hiding...No more will I use ink,Besides blood flowing on this page from my wounded body.Lacerations I must reveal hoping others see,And,Save themselves from suffering the same fate.Because,There's enough pain pulsating across a spirit we're all bound to feel,And,I'd rather lead others down a path where they can heal...If I must die alone,Then,So be...
