Lately,All of my poems have been getting shorter.There's just not much to say having the same pot of rice and beans everyday.Feeling my bones tremble a bit longer as I hold the weight of my loneliness on my shoulders.What else is there to mention besides the gargantuan stake piercing through my gut everyday I wake...

The Dead Dandelions – Day 289, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
She disappears like dandelions fluttering through bright summer skies.A one-of-a-kind,Sight for sore eyes,I'll never see again as time,Only ticks by faster,The longer I'm alive without any love to chase after...Regardless,I unserstand.Her existence was a lesson for me to learn how to look past,What will eventually die,Rot away,To live a joyous life without depending on anything...

The Busy Tone – Day 277, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Dejected,Rejected.Whichever adjective you pick,They'll both work the same.As I isolate from a world causing the kind of pain most don't come back from,Here I am,Alone in a daze.But,Not the kind where I'd hide behind a tree underneath some shade.The kind where you separate from a world,Taking refuge under God's palm while phased,By flesh calling for...

Hollow Cities – Day 268, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Parading around in a mask is what most of us do year round.While some say,"I began watching to feel some excitement!"The rest,A select few,Refused to masquerade in a lie meant,To distract us from a truth most blissfully ignore.The artificial love along comradery fading away as fast as a dark cloud gliding through a sky raining...

It Was Never Scary – Day 255, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Darkness consumes every space behind any door you're reluctant to enter.But,How will you ever know what truly lies on the other side,Besides going inside,And,Witnessing for yourself?Our presence isn't welcomed everywhere we go,Yet,There is no other way to know,Other than enduring an answer we must find,Before that curiosity eats us alive.Because,Most of the time there are...

Believe In The Dream! – Day 197, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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...
