"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Life's been pretty simple,Yet,Seemingly pointless.I've been doing the usual:Open mics,Open mics,And some more open mics,Yet I've performed less due to how I've been feeling.Monday was straight forward at KGB.Showed up after a twenty-nine and sixty-something cent meal at Burger Head.Paid for my seven dollar mini bottle of Canada Dry soda water.Sat down inside of the...

Assimilation has never been my style.Quite frankly,I'd rather be what God intended me to be.A man free from labels I was once forced to believe,Would lead me through a path worthwhile.Labels like drunk,Pot head,And,Rich!When all I really was,Was a child who tripped and fell into a ditch,Never to be found again until I rose from...

Boundaries.I didn't realize there were any after offering to console me.But,As usual.I' treated more like a game rather than a man with feelings trampled by loneliness,And,A need to run away.To run away from the presence of anyone where there's potential for a bond to be built upon...It seems like everyone is too tired to lay...

"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...

To be,Or not to be?Is never the question now that I am.I've accepted how God molded me into the writer I was hesitant to be.No matter how nervous I was at the Monday mic,I pulled through.Tuesday was a hit and miss,But,Two mics on a Wednesday gave me the spark to tear each house down.Thursday's set...

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...

Parading around in a mask is what most of us do year round.While some say,"I began watching to feel some excitement!"The rest,A select few,Refused to masquerade in a lie meant,To distract us from a truth most blissfully ignore.The artificial love along comradery fading away as fast as a dark cloud gliding through a sky raining...

Fluorescent lights radiating off of joints I don't desire,No longer illuminate the darkness surrounding me.Regardless of its tip providing a certain direction while engulfed in flames.I'd rather wander aimlessly,Instead of walking towards a cliff I couldn't climb back up from.How pleasant it would be to know exactly where I'm headed towards,But,What does it matter if...

Peaceful,The city is when it's empty of people.Words can't describe how gorgeous It is while walking through its wind tunnels of silence.Its beauty outweighing how ugly the entire world can be.How putrid the stench of everyone's breath when intoxicated by their own falsified glory.Every heart calcified by disasters that could've been avoided by caring more...

In love with a ghost of a woman I don't miss.A silhouette without a face I refuse to recognize.Why?Do I do this to myself when I'd rather be by,Myself.Floating through a jazzy city where my mind keeps roaming through,All kinds of tunes,So that I can finetune,Thoughts replaying the same old songs I've grown tired of.It's...
