What would I be without you both?Probably not much.A thought I don't like to imagine often,But,it comes across here and there every time I cough,And,Realize how neglectful I am of your presences,Yet,I have no idea how to take care of you both while I search for an answer.An answer so difficult to find when a...

Our Time To Smile – Day 338, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...

Never The Question – Day 326, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
To be,Or not to be?Is never the question now that I am.I've accepted how God molded me into the writer I was hesitant to be.No matter how nervous I was at the Monday mic,I pulled through.Tuesday was a hit and miss,But,Two mics on a Wednesday gave me the spark to tear each house down.Thursday's set...

Stains In Our Broken Glass – Day 325, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Stains.Cuts.Bruises.All represent your will to persevere through it all.Every night you've bawled,From the thought of everyone leaving you during your toughest moments.Every night you've stepped on a stage while heckled by the hopeless.Every morning you've went to work no matter how much you've despised a job paying for each show,And,A meal your closest friends weren't...

Peanut Butter And Jelly – Day 316, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are best eaten when the spread is thick.Globs of pure happiness being mushed around taste buds jumping around in excitement,Ecstasy.After countless days refraining from eating such sweet delicacies life has to offer,Balancing out the salty moments.But,What happens when all you have on your kitchen countertops,Inside the fridge,Are containers of PB...

Some Accidents Aren’t Accidental – day 82, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Never did I think that I'd become too busy to dwell inside of my room to write a poem and post it on time, but here we are. My apologies for seeming as if I've been taking days off. After recovering from what could've been a tragedy a few months back, I've been filling up... Continue Reading →
Alone In The Crowd – Day 74, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Alone.Yet,I am no longer withering away into ash as I was before.But,Still I lay in pieces,Trying to recover who I once was before I was defeated by,The grace I lost in an ocean poured by every tear of deceit,Falling from my eyes… Am I really alone,Though?May be not,May be so.Because,I see others around me often,Yet,No...

Love Enough To Be Let Go – Day 45, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
On most nights,I don't believe I will ever be loved,Again.Difficult it is to think as I live my life through a journal and a pen.It's a hard-knock life I don't regret.After all,It's the only thing I know how to do while I flow from a chest,Inflated by hope while exhaling my sins… I'm not perfect.Like...

Just, A Feeling…
I've been a bad person for the last several years,But,I'm not ashamed to admit it.Because,I'm committed to becoming a better person before I cease to exist in,This beautiful life I was given… Yet,I always peg myself with the question:Why am I alive when I could die right!Now…And,Nobody would know until my body is found… Still,Never...

Perched On A Branch
Nowadays,I'm feeling good now that I pray more.Nothing else in my mind besides the hand that I raise for,A moment to write a line about the life that I crave for,A life I will live no matter what is on stage pouring out of my mind… Doesn't matter how dark the memory.I chose the light...
