My name is Irrelevant, because that is what I might as well be in this world. My name is Irrelevant, because there are many people like myself that are going through the same problem. I am writing about minimum wage, working hours, and the disease that plagues big businesses in these senses.
I am a 20 year-old male, and live with my older sister. She doesn’t make me pay rent (thank the gods), but she does want me to move out soon. I work two jobs; retail and restaurant hosting. You would think that interacting with people all day is my favorite thing, would you not? It is not. I...

The Kill
I don't like to think of dying
But what if your arms could kill?
What if all my insecurities could be gone in a flash
Fears washed away in an instant
All at the power of
Your touch
Would you go for it?
What if your embrace contains the secret ingredient
To all that I'm missing
And have never quite been able to find
If I knew
I'd let it stir in my mind
But I would remain still
Moved by you
Deeply, too
But not enough
To really follow where you lead
Because I'm afraid of what you see
So when you come around
I...

Kicking the Habit
Hi. . . My name is Clear and I have an addiction for this thing called Spoken Word.
And it all started when I was introduced to sessions that sparked joints;
Where listeners got lost and hallucinated in the right dosage of words;
This came from the mouths of dope heads, which never mislead.
Who burn A4 pages from the dome, on every stage for commonsense sentences?
Shrooms would fill the room at a state of intellectual ecstasy;
And the dealer would be the organizer of such cause and effect.
Passing out on microphones from an immediate fix from stanzas;
Drooling...

Summer's coming, time to dream the day away
I was 15 on a Baltic Cruise and we had just left Stockholm
And she's so sunny is the girl you met today
She was called Jayne from the upper decks
Will she make it? can she take it?
She smelt of fresh green apples and she was looking only at me
Like to try love, such a shy love
We merely held hands and then danced very slowly
Ragged back street, leaning on the wall
I felt her warmth, can I be your girlfriend?
She weaves a story of her life before it all
She make me feel special
Did she give love? could...

Skewed eyes unto heaven
God is misunderstood; yes I pray we could,
Take Him more serious than bowing our heads in the way we should.
And if we would, embrace faith just like childhood;
For we need that constant feed of the gospel like food.
The Lord made us and the earth in those 7 days;
Then why is it that we visit God only on Sundays.
Most times it is in troubles when we remember Him;
I can do wrong at any time, he always forgives our sins.
Then we boldly point fingers towards even heaven;
Like why do we have to witness such tragedies like 9/11?
He blew breath of life, did...

arcade grenade
arcade grenade
or a sudden dream of sundering
the blood pulls us
zig-zag
counterclockwise
unfolding as we go
bodies dislocating against the locks and bars
cracking precisely at the particle
and like steam we sigh
ghostly into ethereal night
arching against eachother,
achingly metamorphosed.

“Dressed in Disguise” Written by: Jimmy N. Alvarez
I can’t wait to meet you
You’re one of a kind
Your special presence comes with a price to pay
Especially for me I’m the world’s biggest underdog
Chasing the world’s biggest trophy
The odds to have you are one in a billion
People say I’m crazy, for chasing the impossible
But crazy is what it takes to get you
You’re intrigued by my ways that only a real man can provide
I’m special kinda of guy, that’s made for only a chosen few
You waved to me from a far view, on the other side
...

Never Wins, Never Loses
I've been battling with depression lately. I'm losing. I thought I was winning until someone told me, "Nothing bothers you"
That hurt. That hurt a lot. That's when I realized that there are four of me. The first two are defense mechanism and the other two are less defensive.
The first one is the public Spitz. The one that is never bothered. He is always joking, never to be fazed. He is always the first to make an inappropriate joke. One such joke is to walk up to a group of people, preferably one that has no recognizable faces, and claims he fucks sheep. When...
