Untitled (Give it one if you can)
The profusely punctuated points of my personal life annoys me
I start,
pause,
look around,
switch,
back again,
share,
share some more,
stop,
restart,
repeat process...
Imminent change alludes me
bound forever to repeat
stagnant, ever failing.
I do not mean to hurt you
Its a side effect of my curse

Hey you!
Hey you, yes, you. Stop being unhappy with yourself. You are perfect. Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. Love them. Without those things, you wouldn’t be you, and why would you want to be anyone else? Be confident with who you are. Smile, it’ll draw people in. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself, then you stick your middle finger in the air and say, “Screw it. My happiness will not...

I received this little love letter :)
Your name will always remain in my heart, it will be spoken and shared in the gentlest of prayers... And you will be with me forever.
Sometimes we need reminders in our lives of how much people care.
If you ever get that feeling, I want you to remember this...
Beyond words that can even begin to tell you much, i hold you and your happiness within my heart each and every day.
I am so grateful for you, and so thankful to the couple of days that have given me so much to be thankful for.

White sadness
The thing about thoughts; they are elusive
As soon as you get one it leaves.
Ideas drift and blankness sets in
Then, we think.
The thing about life is; it sucks
not the good kind that makes you grind and spill happy juices.
Life drains and makes you dizzy from all the circles it ran around you
Yet, we cling.
The thing about dreams; you wake up
A harsh reality strangles you while you wade the waters gasping.
We fight to make them the reality, the possibility, the object of faith
Then, you fail.
The thing about religion is; it lies...

VENTMENTZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Like a mad man with a empty box! Im coming at yah so ya better watch!
Am talking out for every girl who cries herself to sleep at nights,
Who life is in a boxing ring as everyday its fights,
Who face knows the inside of the pillow more than the sponges,
Who has to bare your constant stares and grudges,
I want to know who the fuck made yall the keepers of anybody’s life
Who the fuck is you to say who and whom we can take as wife?
For too long have we hidden behind our own sexuality
All because your chest can’t digest us properly!
Well for this year fuck what...

Transfusion
Pumping exhaust fluids into my lungs
pensive
contemplating the events that led me here
skin on skin, pulse beating in unison
I thought I knew you.
Cold blackened space holds no room for my lively nature
shrinking in your silence.
Rounded up like cattle, branded by your type of rejection
unsure if the ecstasy 'we' felt you felt.
My words pound at your closed door
pleading,let me in.
My mind saw you as the prize I deserve
but you saw me as a task, a riddle never a rhyme
no bond to form, no thirst to quench, no us to be created
just you....

My Dream reality
DESPERATE trying to find the words to tell how i FEEL, how i LOVE, how i YEARN, and how i HURT, CONSTANTLY trying to figure out WHERE i am in your LIFE, how i FIT in your PUZZLE, your CIRCLE, your HEART. SLOWLY trying to PRESSURE you, PERSUADE you, some may even say CON you, but SURELY and ACCURATELY i'm only trying to LOVE you. most people look at life from the OUTSIDE in, i look at life from the INSIDE out. LIFE starts at the HEART and continues to GROW or EXPAND unless there is doubt. i often SIT n WONDER where my life would be without you there, without your SENSE of HUMOR, your VOICE,...

Wont apologize
I will not apologize if my main squeeze
Is not with whom you are please
Or of whom religion speaks
With the right amount of masculinity
Shaping our forbiden entity
Your feminine nature
Our love they can't waver
When two hearts are becoming one
You and I, their thoughts I shun
Moving to the beat of our own conga drum
Drunken in love
The taste of your suckulent, honey dip, goodness
With the scent of lingering lust on my finger tips,
What hot mess we create when entageled together on that mission
To being the only ones
We...

Deafening silence
Silence is deafening
We sit here alone
Reminiscing on what was
Lingering
Thoughts of us pretzeled
Moans felt
Eyes dimmed
Mood paused at the repetition of an unwanted instincts
Heart racing
Eyes flooded
Thoughts flashing
Hatred towered slowly
Back into my shell where my silence remains deafening.
