Metaphors and punchlines?You get tired of forcing them when all you can think about is your recovery from,Pain.Whether it be emotional,Physical,Or both,Pain only gets stronger the more you sugarcoat what isn't meant to be sweet.So,I've had to cut back.Cutting back on similes and such invigorating my sweet tooth before I can no longer have any...

New Love
New love!Daunting on a lonely soul like mine,Along a heart shattered over ties untied,By what I promised I would not become,Over memories looped in my head of all the wrongs I've done.But,I'm just a guy trying to find himself like any other.Who wouldn't want a woman by his side to experience life's wonders with,And,Love her...

Harsh Blunts
Beginnings of a poem can be hard.Especially,When all you want to do is see humanity crumble by its own karma.Humanity deserves every bit of it!,But,Who am I to open my mouth and alarm us?Too many Bel-air dreams with a will to farm a plant,Drink as many shots you can,With a pill in hand!No matter how...

All Over The Place
Expressing my feelings is something I forgot how to do throughout these past several lonely years of my life. How can you not when all you've known is anger for longer than you can remember? And it hardly ever gets better as I wrestle with one question. Is it even worth expressing what makes my... Continue Reading →
Wind Tunnels
A troubled mind travels through wind tunnels of angst and despair,Colder than a night below 30° without a blanket in sight.Forever cursed by idle hands refusing to write their own life story… Yet,On a search it goes!A search that won't conclude unless you face yourself along every waning goal,It promised it'd never let go of…...

Vastness of space clutters the mind.In silence.Even if Anxiety hits its boiling point,What other choice do you have,But,To patiently sit while you feel it slip away?There are no answers.Just,An ebb & flow of life we're forced to sway to.Either with a smile,Or,A frown.Whatever your dear heart may choose…
Nights At The Museum
Eyes glare at me as if I'm a museum exhibit.Stuck behind walls made of glass,But,The art I display is not for show while I fix my act and revitalize my waning spirit.Yet,Others stare,And stare,With a chuckle here and there,After witnessing what most in New York city call a tragedy.A pair of hole-ridden shoes with the...

Don’t Leave A Message After The Beep
Nights like these, There aren't many things to think about. Sitting down, Taking deep breaths is enough for a man just, Trying to change his whereabouts. Address the plethora of skeletons within a closet locked by many doubts, Of a life full of smiles pending on resilience within a discipline I now replenish with a... Continue Reading →
Scrambled Eggs, No Bacon.
Scrambled.Although I’ve escaped my shell,My emotions have been more than what I could normally handle.Being egged on by lies coercing me to shout and scream until I,Cry…How can they not be?I’d walk in a different fashion,But,I’m worn out from everyone who mocks me.Struggling to quit a habit that prompts me to pant till I pass...
