Sin.The flesh loves it so much.Quite frankly,I don't see anything else it adores.Just being in my own body,Feeling what it craves,Is enough proof for me to know God is real while watching my every move.And,As I fall,And fall,And,Fall time and time again,All I desire is to cleanse my spirit of this atrocity.Lust…What a demon it...

Forgiving Who Hurt You – Day 248, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
Biases occur more often than,Others caring more for another's crisis in,Hopes they heal every wound drowning everyone surrounding them,In their own shallow waters.We may hurt each other no matter the price is,And,It's disappointing when you're trying to have faith in humanity thriving.Yet,There's no cure quite like forgiveness along a hand pulling someone out of darkness...

Down To The Last Letter – Day 247, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
If you believe I'm A B C,You might be right.Because,I'm a writer who will be free,For the way I see life,All the swank in my step on a stage I spit on with delight,And,A tank never on E for every pill I wouldn't pop so that I can see light,Blinding whoever's throwing shade while I...

Johnny Bravo – Day 246, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Braggadocious when I have to be without bravado getting in the way of my mission at hand.Jobny Bravo kind of confidence when I tune into rhythms in my palms swaying from its backhand.It's what I do,All I know,As a nerd bringing help to a world drawing blanks,Manhood intact even when I'm rejected by so many.At...

An Embrace I Can’t See Coming – Day 245, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
God's embrace comes when you least expect it.Today,It came through a Trinidadian woman while I sat inside of a Citibank,Pensive.About how lonely my life's been as I live it through a pad,A pen,And,A message God's been nudging me to spread with,Love.Not knowing how to move forward,She urged me to keep going strong without a doubt...

Warfare Of Spirit – Day 244, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Spiritual warfare…What grandeur lies ahead as blood splatters on a battlefield where souls die,Knowing rest is not eternal?As we slip into a dream state,We wake,Whether or not our mind takes notice of the netherworld where soil is fertile,For human hearts rotting away!In its core.Or,Paradise we're bound for when following the word of the only King...

Music For The Sober – Day 242, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Everything else is better than sex,Drugs,Alcohol,Whatever gets you high for that matter.Back when they were all I thought about,My reality had shattered.Anytime I looked into a mirror,I was cracked further away from repair,Every second I stared into a man I believed wasn't there,Any longer...Anytime I hear glasses cling,As a sober man nowadays,It's music to my...

Good With My Tongue – Day 241, Never Give Up On My Dreamz
Multilingual,Yet there's something about American soil that strips you of everything that makes you colorful.What started out as spanish became spanglish,Then english I was verbally trained to use as a weapon towards freedom I've never had before."Callate la boca!"Mom would yell at me for having any thought of my own.It wasn't until I understood what...

How Does One Know? – Day 240, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
She wants me,She wants me not.Question is,Do I even want her as I break free from the lock,She's had on my mind?...
Half Of What I Am – Day 239, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (Finished)
Memorial Day's upon us,And,All I can think about is the last time I received 'time and a half'.Nothing else to expect,Besides a job where my heart's split right down its middle.One side in front of a microphone at an open mic,The other in back of a desk where I sit back,And,Force myself to write.But,Regardless of...
