Do you want me for me?Or,Am I that guy you believe won't ignore you regardless of the circumstance?Am I just a tool you know,Deep down inside,Won't screw around with a heart you desire to fill a void for?Forgive me…I only ask because,I can't remember the last time someone reach out to catch up,Even though I've...

Band Of The Falcon – Day 198, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
As the kettle gets too hot to handle while the whistle blows,Hawks fly in flocks as the heat from war rises.But,As sweet as it sounds,That moment arrives where they must depart.Isolated inside the belly of the Beast.And,Never shall they know when they're attacked by their own.Once a territory's been seized by One,Who knows what they'll...

An Apple No One Would Eat – Day 195, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Loneliness.I'm attached to it the same way an apple is attached to the branch of a tree.Deeply rooted in soil as dead as the inner-child left dangling inside of me.Yet,Still.I'm watered by an entity I can't see.All I see is darkness while wobbling to its breath every time It breathes.In,And,Out,Until I fall off and roll...

The Mind Of A Toilet Roll – Day 194, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Full of feces I am,But,Still I clean up after everybody's mess without a single complaint.I just,Roll along regardless of the abuse I'm forced to take.Because,As soon as I'm gone after everything you've eaten for the day,You're going to wish you had me back,Either way!So,Flush my existence as you desire until your hands are numb.All I...

The Eyes Of An Ocean – Day 192, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Insanity!How others splash onto me in thought of their own vanity.But,It's what I'm here for,After all.To provide a sense of relief when life becomes a bit too hot to handle.Rather than swimming inside of their own perilous mind,They can take a dip inside of love I yearn to provide while seagulls squawk above Me.While sunrays...

Glowy Pearls – Day 190, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Is it real?Is it fake?Who knows anymore?But,What does it matter,Anyway?Because,As old and tragic as the "news" gets,We still treat each other like,That view full of darkened hues our eyes wish to forget.Like,Gleaming bright colors on a canvas we paint over for an image we end up throwing out before the paint ever sets.The only disaster...

First Sober Birthday! – Day 188, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
My first birthday completely sober from any substance!What can I say?I'm grateful for the walk God put me on instead of staying slumped in,A ditch I thought I'd never climb out of after tripping over so many bumps on a road where running is not an option.A road where a slow pace wins the race...

Don’t Burn The Souffle – Day 187, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Worrying is more exhausting than carrying the weight of your problems on your shoulders.Worrying is like,Letting your soufflé bake in your oven for thirty minutes longer than you should've left it.The taste it leaves in your mouth is rancid.It takes form as an empty stomach too busy growling to be satiated,Killing your appetite for life...

Fat Again! – Day 186, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fat again!But,Who am I to blame anyone else besides the man ordering a slice too many?Oh,How I'd love to scorn everyone who's hurt me.Any one igniting the kind of anger convincing me to be beligerant.Nonetheless,What good does that do for anyone?Isn't that just a burst of energy imploding all that's good within a core that...

My First Aid – Day 185, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Every poem is a bandaid placed on a wound until it heals.Blood drips,And drips,On a page onto the next until the stains disappear in what I call a field,Of dreams,Our souls manifest against all odds.To be a poet means,To put an end to your facade,And,Face everything that makes you cry.Until you smile internally,Externally.Excavating every ounce...
