"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Whether it's gravity or not,I'm grounded on the same spot,I've rotted on while looking for a space I can thrive inside of while I write another drop.My bars stay heavy,But,I stay steady,In place for as long as God may let me...I'm used to this weight on my shoulders.Once upon a time,I was a three-hundred pound...

Open mics,And,Solo dinner dates have filled my schedule more often than taking the time to take care of myself the way God wants me to.Delayed blog posts are the result,As well as poems written by eighty percent of my true potential.I can't seem to figure out why,As my nights become longer,And,My days shorter.Is it time...

Endearing phone calls I haven't received in about a decade,Taught how pointless cell phones are.I often look back at a moment in time,Where we'd step outside,And,Have no outlet to keep in touch.Keeping us closer to the Sun,We bathed in happily,Instead of blue light from dusk,Till dawn,While wondering amongst ourselves why life seems more sorrowful than...

A Sultry gaze will always fail to pierce through the cement wall I've built over the years,Protecting a heart brittled by lies I've had to pretend were true,Until I've decided to recognize them for what they truly are.Sirens screeching through halls they're not welcomed to roam,In a mind looking for peace,Silence.My palms no longer gravitate...

Pets were never in my plans,But,They were placed in my hands for a reason I believe I've found.Because,Without them,I wouldn't have had a reason to get up from my bed,And,Walk out of a cloud of confusion I've been surrounded by,For quite some time.Two beautiful Red Eared Sliders I wish I was more excited to have,But,Here...

Pink Rangers are virtually all one in the same,Except the original.Kimberly set the standard on what beauty truly is,Brains,A fighter,And,A superhero with uncanny wits.It's just,Who she is...If only we were one in mind,Body,And,Soul.The only one I notice at an open mic warming up a room gone cold,By the Artist's refusal to be themselves.Cracking me out...

Wimpering inside of her room is how you'll find her on most nightts,No matter how often she's called,"Beautiful,"By everyone she comes across.After all,What does it matter what another says if you just can't see it in yourself?But,There she goes.Applying make-up until the real image of her face disappears,Buried in what her loved ones find ugly.And,There...

Zombies...They're alive,And,Well!We see them everywhere we go,Even if we do not noticr their presence.They may not bite a chunk off of your biceps,But,They're there.Feeding on the love you radiate.Zombies appear when those who are dead inside,Are confronted with a sweet spice of life their tongues salivate for.They appear during moments someone blacks out from intoxication...

Yea,Yea...I used to believe that I was invincible,Until my soul was peppered by lacerations only God had the love,And,Power to stitch back together.So much love God had for me,To allow my mind,And,Heart to bleed out every bit of disdain I couldn't weather.Until I acknowledged the only one who reigns.A wrestling match against an opponent I...

Fairy tales aren't books that predict a future unfolding before our naked eye.Fairy tales aren't books that fill you with the kind of knowledge showing us how to live an everlasting life.Fairy tales are just,Books we wish were true,But,Could never be.And,That's exactly what the bible isn't.The bible isn't a made-up story most stigmatize it as...
