Blood pressure rises,But,What we want is to bring it back down,And,Keep it at the lowest level possible until it's time to run towards that horizon,At the end of a tunnel we're all inside of...Paths chosen for us by every decisive moment had,Within a subconscious we don't have much control over as much as we'd like...

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...

Silent Cries – Day 182, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
"Protest,Protest!"What's the point when those you're protesting against,Have soundproof walls,Windows,Doors,You name it.Anything to cancel out noise no one needs to make in,A world we already have control over?How can you expect to be heard when,We don't ever bother to listen to each other as we do our best to move forward?The progress those on the...

Black Lungz – Day 169, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Tar and regret invade your nostrils as each stick is engulfed into flames.Such lack of consideration for those walking by just,Searching for a brighter day!While yours is clouded by a smog smothering your mind in a haze,Of deceit,Knowing every worry won't easily fade away!With each puff into the sky.But,Still.You lie,To yourself,And,Anyone desperate to run from...

Swings Are Better, Anyway – Day 161, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Liars.They're as widely spread as marshmallow clouds on a hot,Spring day.They're minds are like seesaws with two versions of themselves going up and down,Up and down,Without ever coming to a stop until,The seesaw breaks.Cracking as soon as one side gets too heavy for the other to carry.Snap!…It goes…No more jumping,And,Running around the same circle of...

Beauty In A Broken Mirror – Day 151, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Family,That aren't family,Are never satisfied until you're pacified by their insanity.Can it be the worst thing to go through,When you're alone?Truth is,As tragic as it could've been when you're the one who's labeled useless,Their severance is a blessing in disguise,As you rip off the mask you've hid behind,And,Realize the image they're despised,Is an image you...

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...

Artificial Flavors On A Plate Of Gold – Day 117, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Food for thought,Nowadays,Is artificial.Ideas refined by a process of elimination:Abandoning what makes us human.Intelligence automated by a vicious cycle of repetition.Robotic in our movement towards salvation.A salvation we'll never reach through a diet of lies most are forced to consume.But,Why do we continue our walk towards darkness?Where truth cannot be seen for miles,And,Miles on end?Are...

Crayons For Adults – Day 106, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Hues come in many separate shades highlighting different "truths",In a world with only one big picture.But,Never will I take heed to yellow headlines trying to shine brighter than the Son's flicker.How sweet it is that Maduro's caught,From a plot boiling for too many years now at a stop,Yet,The plan's tainted vision is thicker!Than what anyone...

Poetic Vitality – Day 87, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
My vitality lies within a poem ripped out from the ruins of a heart I don't often visit,As blood glistens on a palette I tap on visciously with an eisel out of madness.My lifeforce,A blessing,A gift I've adorned as a shield within war,I've never signed up for as I course through it with class… What...
