An oddball,Thrown against a wall often.Forced to feel the cracks,Until my skin was pried open.But,Every scar you see is a painting made by God,For you to witness and be inspired,By pain we all suffer regardless if we desire to,Or not… I'm okay with that,I accept it.As you should as well,Instead of,Leaning over wishing wells,Throwing pennies...

High From The Vapors – Day 77, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Hopping from one open mic to the next as the holidays arrive,You'll meet so many others looking for the same high.Not from a drug.Not from a drink nor attention from anyone!But,A dream.A dream we imagine from the second we open our eyes,To and throughout every hour we're asleep…The kind of high most are too afraid...

Conversations With A Shadow – Day 69, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Demons in my mind have spoken to me quite often.I try my best not to listen.At times,I give in,But,I try my best to recind each deal I make with the Devil at rest in between each line I write to repel his existence,Away from a heaven I've been dutifully constructing.But,I can't lie.Nowadays,I feel weakened by...

Transparent Hues – Day 37, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Transparent views transformed me more than my parents ever could.Being able to see through their lies was more helpful than,Trusting a set of skulls thicker than,The darkness they've set around my atmosphere everywhere I'd go.A truth unsettling for some,But,For me?A relief.Because,Blood,Has nothing to do with who you have the pleasure to call,Family.See,Family is a special...

Once Married, Now Divorced – Day 34, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stirring the pot,Was a burial plot,While I was smoking a lot,Of what I never needed in a life full of murkier spots,I've been busy trying to make a painting out of,Instead of choosing to rot,Inside of a self-made prison created by dirtier thoughts,Washing away with every tear that I drop,In good faith… I know I...

Gates Of Valor
Meticulous in thought during moments my mind should be blank.Moments where my hands should be moving faster than a heart beat speeding up from a lack of funds,Gone away in smoke burning blunt after blunt.But,There's just so much pressure on my shoulders.Feels like the weight of everything I must do is crushing me as I...

Prize Nobody Wants
You can't imagine all the pain I brazenly bear while,Stigmatized as an animal who feeds off of despair.But,What others refuse to see?Is how I'm just a man growing sick and tired of apologies!Others never care to spare… So,I've isolated.Got to make sure to stay away from what would not embrace me while left forsaken.By family...

F The Tooth Fairy!
Sick…Of so many things!But,Mostly how we show each other love in the strangest of ways.Like,Our greetings on most days.Some start by saying,"Hey!How's everything?Hopefully you're doing swell!"Ending it there without a restraint even if they notice you aren't doing too well.You might even get a pat on the back,Maybe one on your ass,And!A big ole' middle...

What If It Was School? – Freewrite #45
"…Stay in school!" You'll often hear people whisper to themselves when passing by a soul seemingly on its last lightbulb still in tact. But! I have a question that might just blow everybody's mind reading this sentence right now. What if,School is what made them do it? I mean,Everybody's journey down into a rock-bottom (a...

Pitch Black Gaze – Freewrite #44
Every time I gaze at a beautiful woman, I begin feeling completely numb. All I can think of are the times I failed the one and only girlfriend I've ever had in my life (and probably will be for a very, very long time), sulking over what could've been if I hadn't been such an... Continue Reading →
