A steak fry is still a fry.A steak nugget is still a piece of steak.Never will it matter how they're both dressed on a plate,Cracked and soon to break.From it's weight.More than your aching stomach's meant to handle,While you laugh at the possibility of blacking out and,Falling on your face.Stuff your mouth all you want,Not...

A Sober Entry #1 – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
I pray everything has been well with everyone out there. Had to take a second out of my day and pour my thoughts onto a waterproof page. Finally, over three months off of weed smoke and it feels so good! But, lately, I've been having consecutive dreams where I would come across a pack or... Continue Reading →
A Three-Piece I’m Not Hungry For – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ties,Ties,Ties!They just don't suit me right.Feels more like,A noose choking to death,The kind of tranquil man I yearn to become in a world ran by financial success and duress,And…A suit is not part of who I am,Nor ever will it be for as long as I hold a journal and a pen… It's the only...

Euphoric Highs – Day 27, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Moments like these,I think about how I quit smoking joints and feel,Powerful,Grateful.More than I ever have before at any point in my life.Makes me feel as if I can,Fly.Do things no other human has done before.But,Still I cry.I cry tears of joy knowing how I'm no longer burning that bridge between,Myself and an inner-child I...

Doppelgangers – Day 26, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
No one looks the same unless they're next to doppelgangers,But,Most are outrageously concerned with whom their colors match with after,Joining parties acting as a gang,More than a group looking out for the other within middle grounds often shattered,By everybody's need to be in front of lines where they see red,Leaving others blue over green without...

Can I Ever Be Forgiven? – Day 25, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many mistakes.Only one to blame.The man I'm forced to see in the mirror,Every.Single.Day… Will I ever make it out of this hole,Will I ever fully change?From,A frown that feels permanent,To,An everlasting smile on my face?

A Letter for An Angel – Day 24, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
This is really random, but I figured to myself that there's a chance I would never see you again and would be mad at myself if I didn't tell you how beautiful you are to me, how your gorgeous, glittery smile stayed in my mind from the moment I saw you. You have a glow,... Continue Reading →
Purified By The Purge – Day 23, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Purging my mind of your memory is a necessity.Although a lovely woman you were with much for me to be thankful for,Thinking of you is like,Dipping my feet into quicksand.Sand liquified by the Earth shattering beneath me that moment I,Found out how you had never loved me from our very first kiss.A kiss of death...

Battles Where Words Are The Weapon – Day 22, Never Give Up On Your Dreams
My turn,Again,Against stage fright.I thought I couldn't do it until I walked to the stage like,I had no other choice,But,To put the microphone to my side and then lay lines.Connecting every monumental sentence,Across the jaws of whoever's willing to bet against,A man who is climbing up and over a hill others roll back to the...

Checking In On My Own Soul (Prose), Day 21
Three months into sobriety from marijuana and I cant believe it. But, as proud as I am from deciding not to encase every grin away behind a curtain of smoke, I still feel trapped. Recently, I began a new job hoping I can eventually pay off my college debt to go back to school. My... Continue Reading →
