Struggling with our sense of belonging is quite common.I mean,All of us desire family,A group to be apart of without ever going bitter,Rotten.But,Sometimes?The apple falls far from a tree left forgotten.Not a single pot of water poured into the ground,But,A pot of marijuana smoked while surrounded by the sounds,Of your dreams…Crumbling along each step taken...

Sands Of Love
Love… At what point are we supposed to give it away with a set of conditions attached?All I know is,After applying conditioner to a scalp rinsed of yesterday's troubles,Nothing's smoother than each strand of hair gliding along callused hands… Maybe,Certain prerequisites were required before I graduated from "higher" learning…Bottles of Remy were not the solution...

Dead Soil
Desiring to change your environment simply means,You understand how it has no affect on you.It means that you care about yourself enough to be where ever there lies,Truth… Sleeping in a bed of lies is like,Being stuck inside of a web of nightmares you'll wrestle with for an eternity.Just,Another silky string buckling you down within...

The Dark Hour
Yes,I often think of suicide,But,Still have the courage to refuse such atrocity.Because,My life was given!It was never mine to take in the first place regardless of how many demons got to me… After all,It's my job to thwart them off of my shoulders.If I don't,I deserve every consequence that looms over my soul.If I coast...

On The Ledge
No one ever knows which day is their last.For some of us,It is an attachment similar to a bungee jump beneath a bridge.Instead of losing yourself inside of shallow waters poured by the outcries of Anger you haven't dealt with,That rope of smoke grabs you just in time to pull you back onto the ledge,Until,You...

Family wouldn't make it a point to remind you how no one cares for your existence.Family would never cross lines you've set in sand to thwart off all kinds of maliciousness.Family would sooth your battle scars after every hit and miss,Regardless if you're wrong or right in whatever position you're in.So…Where was mine as my...

Moonlit Romance
I'll be there to help you breathe,With my lips on top of yours as long as you don't let me see,The light inside another woman's eyes as blinding as they can be… I want to reach for something more…Tell me,When you hear someone knocking on your door,Do you wish that it was me with everything...

Digress
No one likes to feel like they're in a therapy session.You want another to listen with open ears and simply understand the message,Being told against your own will telling you to bottle it inside until it explodes in your chest and,Pierces through your guard once thought to be unbreakable regardless of impact from any weapon...

Confusion For The Ages
At this point,I'm beginning to question my own depression.My addiction.Because,I'm still sad either way.Whether or not I'm high or sober,I still feel empty while I sit down in Limbo.Wondering if I'll ever make it out… Maybe,I'm not necessarily full of sorrow because of my disappointing decision to roll another joint while my opportunities wither away.Maybe,It's...

Rocky Victories
At long last…I went back home!Sooner than I thought,And,I'm already aching to go back before I lose control… Of a mind tied in a slipknot.Of a vision fighting against wind blowing debris within it,As I try to pick my eyes every few seconds even if they crust over with rocky memories flashing by… Whether it...
