Church bell chimes flood both eardrums with a vision,Poured out from His fingertips in drip-drops of,Blood.Sweat.Tears.All mixed into a cherry red painting brighter than both cheeks when flushed by.The day He took his eyes off of a sky,Gleaming with a way out of an eternal abyss.Hoping to find beauty in an image He can bear...

Madness In The Kool-Aid – Day 140, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Do it now before it's too late.Put down the Kool-Aid!And,Get away from what is sugarcoated by a lie,Inside of what others light up with butane.Damp from saliva they spit out while they pass over slews of eighths,Trying to make you a slave… Focus on love from the most high!Watching us from the sky,Guiding us with...

Packing In Another Joint – Day 139, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Never do I know where to begin,Nor,How to write it,Nor,How to address an engorged heart with a need to burst and shout…So much pain!Without knowing where to put it other than one place,A page,Where I've been having an abundance of doubt.Yet,Not once have I cared for the darkness shrouding my mind…I care to find an...

Holding Hands With A Ghost – Day 120, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Blood,And,Wet lips full of sugar?Are immiscible without an emulsifier found in,Tears trickling down your cheeks while laying down,Dead inside,Confounded.Puzzled by a con you've found in a pit of darkness.Love,Vampiric in nature is nothing,But,A spectral sending chills through your bleeding vessel with each touch,As subtle as it is.Once it's unbuckled from a kiss,You're left panting,Exasperated by...

Poetry & I (Logic – Hit My Line Freestyle) – Day 111, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
An addiction?I wouldn't call that if I were you.I just,Can't live without a moment where I'm going through,So many thoughts about my life I spill on to a stage full of others who,Feel the same way as I do!Broken.Trying to glue back every piece before they're put inside a coffin open,For everybody's view… I'd rather...

Feeding The Cerberus – Day 104, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Feeding,A demon,With reasons,Your heaving!In vomit,While coughing up smoke,Upping the dosage for a moment of hope,In all of it's falsity?A fatality for those lost in endless animosity,Against an image once portrayed by hues of love,Stained by every opportunity taken to go for blood,Tainting all of what you could've been if,You had never given up.And,For what?Drugs?A drink,What...

A Nap As Rare As Mary’s Love – Day 102, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz (In Progress)
What must I do to get the sleep I need?I concede.To the battle I fight in a loose-leaf,While I turn the page to a life I was given so rudely… Birthed through my mother's denial of my existence.A child without any expectation to make it through unless I listened,To a way of being that would...

Testimony Of Victory – Day 96, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Another year,Another reason to be thankful,With a tank full of ink to drown away what's fatal.Five months without any smoke,Five years without liquor on a table,Full of books and a bible I discovered wasn't a fable… Just the kind of guide I needed,To suffice my need for a brighter day and a way to fight... Continue Reading →
Questions Or Excuses – Day 91, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
So many questions,So many questions… If you really found Jesus,Then,Why are you still bewitched by sins that still leave you,Breathless?… Isn't He supposed to fill you with,An abundance of love enough to,Squander the plans of He who rules this world of deception? When?Are you supposed to accept God's blessing,Of stillness you are destined for,After opening... Continue Reading →
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...
