How can I be confident as my palms tremble in the presence of a God I can never be?All anyone sees when I recite poetry is the energy,I'm given to push forward.It doesn't mean I'm not scared of what may fall from the brick-and-mortar I've built like the former.The only thing bravery requires is unwaivered...

Different Kind Of Sprung – Day 319, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sometimes I wonder if a woman will ever fall in love with me again.But,Nowadays I'm not so worried for a what-if,I have no control over.I'm quite sprung from the recoils of love when I walk outside,AndGreet another.Compliment someone's jazzy music tunes ringing bells inside of my eardrums.Being gregarious more often than being reclusive.The truth is,I'm...

It’s Over When It’s Over – Day 309, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Whether it's gravity or not,I'm grounded on the same spot,I've rotted on while looking for a space I can thrive inside of while I write another drop.My bars stay heavy,But,I stay steady,In place for as long as God may let me...I'm used to this weight on my shoulders.Once upon a time,I was a three-hundred pound...

Truth Of The Matter Is – Day 292, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
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... Continue Reading →
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...
