A year of abstinence from inhaling chronic to set the record straight.My vices aren't in charge as I doctor myself back to good health,And,Tune into the fate in which God has made for me by wrapping my palms around another page,Another pen,Another poem I recite as I find my way back home within a stage.No...

Pull The Plug – Day 320, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Pull the plug!And,Disconnect from the weed,From the drinks,From a scene full of kinks,Embedded in the heart of a swinger trying to get wet,And,Sink onto pestilence.If ascendance is the goal for a dreamer,Then,I'm grabbing my medicine,Rather than a sedative to get faded behind...I was so jaded,And,I see why.Now that I'm walking with a clear mind.My life...

Gary King – Day 300, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Zombies...They're alive,And,Well!We see them everywhere we go,Even if we do not noticr their presence.They may not bite a chunk off of your biceps,But,They're there.Feeding on the love you radiate.Zombies appear when those who are dead inside,Are confronted with a sweet spice of life their tongues salivate for.They appear during moments someone blacks out from intoxication...

Fairy Tale Endings – Day 298, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Fairy tales aren't books that predict a future unfolding before our naked eye.Fairy tales aren't books that fill you with the kind of knowledge showing us how to live an everlasting life.Fairy tales are just,Books we wish were true,But,Could never be.And,That's exactly what the bible isn't.The bible isn't a made-up story most stigmatize it as...

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...

Clear Waters – Day 227, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Let go,Let go,Let go...Why must I do so?Why can't I have one bodily desire that doesn't equate to fool's gold?Desires that wouldn't blind my eyes from the value love brings,Till I'm too broken to pay for sins more than a few know?All I want is a one night stand,Some booze,And,A few rolls of weed until...

First Sober Birthday! – Day 188, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
My first birthday completely sober from any substance!What can I say?I'm grateful for the walk God put me on instead of staying slumped in,A ditch I thought I'd never climb out of after tripping over so many bumps on a road where running is not an option.A road where a slow pace wins the race...

Flicking The Roach – Day 47, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sobriety feels like a knife being stuck in the middle of my palms,During nights where my soul isn't calm.How badly I want a drink,Or a smoke,I cannot describe while I dive into past poems I wrote,As a reminder to never give up… Giving up on myself is the last thing I desire!But,I can't help but...

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 →
The War Robots Can’t Win – Day 15, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Cleaning up an act upstaging each demon on your shoulder,Is a war not everyone is built for,As it takes a different kind of strength to keep living life sober.I mean,Look around you!Why wouldn't you want a drink with what's happening all over?… Presidents who were not designed to lose.Orchestrated tragedies to blind us from the...
