You are here:
Am I allowed to miss it?

Let it be known, I hate performing. The buildup, the sensation, I hate the feeling. The way the crowd stares, the way it applauses as if it cares. The preparation of my piece, the disturbance of my inner peace. The constant rehearsing, repeating words written down, all for that hand clapping sound. The beating of…

Sitting On …

Sitting on a mountain of words scared to get up Sitting on memories given to me by life Fortunate to have words slowly running out of luck Haunted by the past, for a better future I strive Sitting on scars placed deep within my heart Sitting on a box I try to forget A search…

How to read between the lines

Nothing is wrong Bullshit, there is always something wrong Yeah I’m good Bullshit, it’s never good We’ll do whatever you want to do Bullshit, if we don’t pick what you like than “nothing is wrong” Yeah, I miss you too Bullshit, can’t you see I’m busy No, No it looks delicious Bullshit, learn how to…

Alone

It’s only me even though I’m surrounded by people and voices The sting of neglect bitter, but at times I want this A dark ray in yellow light, alone with a war to fight Awkward glances dissipate as I walk into the night A misty road surrounded by trees Empty conversations filled with pleas Not…

Behind my eyes

I can feel them waiting, anxiously tapping their fingers I can feel them sitting, silently judging any emotion that lingers They try to run every time I close I feel them with every question I pose Every why, every who, every when or what They swirl and scream as they twist my gut I hate…

I never told you

Never had a conversation, everything is in the air Through the years lost the ability to care Your absence was a presence that was always there Valuable lessons taught, life just isn’t fair But just in case my words pull through and reach you, here is what I never told you My childhood was messed…

In between breaks

Morning preparation for a day filled with words Abandoned by understanding, a clash of two worlds Uniforms prance to show their link As formality is used to hide what you think Politeness a tool which could be used by any fool As instructed by every fiber in my body, I remain cool Unanswered questions twiddle…

They lied to me

They say success comes from school He wears a tailor fitted suit, yup success looks cool Study enough and that can be you someday Money comes to those with a degree that’s what they say And success has it all 3 cars 2 houses 1 yacht yes success has a ball Success can never be…

It broke

Severed, broken, shattered, unraveled, corroded, destroyed and gone We replaced it with a token of gratitude For total abandonment would be too rude A straw made rope with a silk line core The titanium layered rope isn’t there anymore Used to be a bridge that the world couldn’t break There are decisions that life will…

Tell the damn news

Today a man got shot Yesterday a vial of disease was dropped Tomorrow a bomb will detonate And right now a country is filled with hate She was thrown of the balcony left in a comatose state He went to the church and was violently raped Terrorists are planning something new And your neighbor is…

Never ending Story

Like flames it licks every inch of my frame My darkness has grown it now chants my name Alluring, its sweet nothingness is beckoning The restraints within the abyss are less than nothing The shackles of reality will kiss the floor Wings of dark feathers will let me soar Forced will be a term banned…

Scattered Frame

Beautiful horrid defying but loss screams but silent Whispers in a crowd Love by law, nature by rule Timed with patience, in an endless fool Don’t win yet forsake all, fall but call when you hit Forget the pain jump past rope Burn the look Ice the cold Kiss the cheeks Mind uneasy fingers move…

Craving Touch

Sensation through warmth, excitement through calm Absolute perfection held in a flawed palm Intimacy through touch, painted with a new brush Shivers turn to shudders, as the end comes ever closer Awake in a dream of US, drunk … hoping to not become sober Intoxicated by your scent mesmerized by your taste Concentrated on the…

Blood Fresh Blood

My heart used to beat to the tunes of her kiss She knitted a blanket from custom made words to cover with She embedded me with the strength of ten men Allowed me to achieve greatness over and over again But now my veins run dry Unable to see the silver lining so I don’t…

Afro Candy

I like candy, the way the sugar meets your tongue The way you feel when it’s all done Candy used to be a rush equal to any gift If there is anything that is something I miss Remember when you were young and you had to eat vegetables and fruit Remember when you were done,…

I don’t know

I don’t know what other dreams I can give you I don’t know what other words can stay true I don’t know how to create another dream to achieve I don’t know how to stay when I want to leave I don’t know what to write feels like I wrote it all I don’t know…
