I've burnt bridges,Without ever looking back!So that I can drink water from a pond where the small fish swim in.Never better than the next man!Nor have I ever planned to be since I was born by a force,Omniscient,Egging me to crack out of my shell to swallow any pill killing,Everything I thought would incinerate me...

The Target That Won’t Die
Insane,Isn't it?How our demons target us while they rest soundly in our minds.And,They come in different forms of pain,Promises and lies!Like…Neighbors that'll claim that they're there to pick you up from a fall…Lies like,Words of honor others wrought to be broken by a call!Made by their inner child while intoxicated by the alcohol!They would rather...

Already forsaken!Since the day I started making,Drinks over phone calls just to see another faking that smile while laced with,Intent they don't intend to show... Continue Reading →
Freewrite #9: Rightfully So
So tense when you wake up over everything that was made up...While they go ahead and lie?You're lying down and writing out your life!As you rightfully should... Not a single fervent wish flowing through your veins even as a young scholar.So good with your words,You electrify the demons trying so hard to solder themselves on... Continue Reading →
What Now?
What do I do being overwhelmed by several emotions? Write it all away until I create an ocean of my own, And claim Trauma as the culprit... What do I listen to when beginning my day hearing echoes ensuing violence upon my soul!? As I seek peace amongst everyone who has ripped me into pieces... Continue Reading →
What Are Bars To You?
What are bars to me? My canvas painted with scars to see. My mind's body from limb to limb, To tell my story from every part of me... It's a place of freedom whenever I feel captive, Ironically... It isn't a place just for blacks and latinos, But a sanctuary to leave our marks wherever... Continue Reading →
The Kid Who Found A Magic Pen
That's why I picked up a pen, To right my wrongs, And repent for all, The things I've done to myself and the one I've bawled over. For so many nights. Courting accountability as I should've in the first place while sober... There is power in being an Author. Knowing how to solder words together,... Continue Reading →
