VENGENCE
It's a word I hold close
It's all because of you
This demon was let loose
I had no idea how quickly I could change
From a happy go lucky kid
It was like a light switch had flipped
I still remember every detail
Every word that was. Said
"That was my grandma
Motherfucker
In he'll I will see you "
Your breaths became shorter
Much faster then normal
Watching you close your eyes
Was the moment my life changed forever all I could recall was coming home to no answer the doors left unlocked
That happens never when I wanted her room clothes all over
That's when I found her
Fucking coward tied her up left her bleeding
This is when vengence
Took a hold of me
Standing in front of that judge
I remember 10 yrs in prison you will spend
And with out any emotion
Without any care
I looked at my grandmother
Eyes soaked with sorrow
All I could say is I'm sorry
Off I went
To survive a concrete jungle it's called by so many men .
Now that I'm out now that I'm free
ask me again if I'd do it again
And with a devilish grin no doubt
I'd do it all over again

CANCER
“You have stage 4 cancer”
No words have ever changed me as these
I’ve no longer made long term plans
Now I live day by day, though I’m in remission of this malignancy
For it can return once more again
Like a timebomb ticking inside of me it can explode instantly
But cancer has caused one positive change
I no longer fret over silly trivial things, I now have different priorities
Money, success and notoriety
Have given way to friends and family
And cancer has caused me to look within
Finding contentment and discovering a new sense of spirituality
Yet, cancer has not completely defined me
But it has caused me to redefine everything around me
I’ll never be the same again
And nothing will be like it use to be

The Wrong Crowd
I used to be
So gentle, so sweet
Innocent, naive,
Believing I was tough
With my heart on my sleeve
Yes, I was tough
From my father's whippings
And my mother's suicidal irrationality
But fuck, if only I knew what was to come
When I got roped in
I was a loner, a bookworm, an observer
Yet I put on the facade
And suddenly the fake it til you make it
Saying made sense to me
She invited me out, and for once I said yes
Cigarettes, drunken late night drives,
Trespassing, climbing fire escape ladders,
Breaking into buildings, taunting cops
Excitement began to pump constantly in my veins
I couldn't stand being home anymore
An addiction like any other
However
While chasing these highs, you
Begin
To feel your wings burning, falling
You hit the ground after flying along stars
A shooting star that shatters into a fiery, bittersweet
Ocean
That year
I felt smoke in my lungs for the first time
After nodding to the anti commercials and teen warnings
Quickly loving the dizziness and escape
I had my first kiss
On a rooftop, high
And frightened
I found both my first experience drunk
As well as my first blackout
Which resulted in more scars along my back
And a destructive coping method
I lost my virginity
To the boy I kissed first, a monster in disguise
My sheets soaked in alcohol and blood
His hand covering my mouth to hide my cries
And wails of pain
Only a wall separating us from my father's room
I went through my first heartbreak
Over the boy who brought me back from the dead
After the night
But then betrayed, betrayed and lied
I shattered my relationship with my father
His anger becoming more violent,
Locking me out, choking, control
Standing outside my window laughing
As he drilled nails into it
Yet,
That year
I felt my first genuine friendship,
Finding a person I love like family
And would never betray
I had my first love,
Teaching me what it is
The selflessness, the beauty, the depth
I found myself
Growing into who I was
My ideals, my values, even when
They differed so greatly from those
Who surrounded me
I lost my laziness, my shyness,
Never again afraid to be who I am,
To dance and sing when no one else can hear
My music
I went through experiences
That altered, changed me
And now
It takes more than one arrow to bring me down
I shattered my world
And rebuilt it
Learning that life is not living
If you never experience
So gentle, so sweet
Innocent, naive,
Believing I was tough
With my heart on my sleeve
Yes, I was tough
From my father's whippings
And my mother's suicidal irrationality
But fuck, if only I knew what was to come

Shedding of the Old Layers
I am not going back to that girl I once was
Because I have shed that layer like dry skin.
I do not want to go back to when those claws
Would sink into my shell of a person. A thin
Smile because I was that close to falling apart.
I stood on trial for crimes I did not commit.
It taught me how to be careful and smart
About the people I kept around me. A big hit
To my heart, but I did survive and bounced
Back stronger than I was before. It has shaken
Something deep within and has announced
My final destination of home. It will awaken
My fiery passion and place of belonging in this
Big world. That timid or shy version of myself
Became a defiant woman after poison tried to kiss
And transform me. I was reaching for the higher shelf.

Stranger within My Mind
Written by Poet Elle McLin
Every day there seems to be a search to find myself
Feeling absent in this cipher of life
Answers are revealed and I seem to question
My mind plays tricks on me in that instance
Where I just need to be in the know
How can I feel lost when I feel divine guidance?
Perhaps because I want my clarity to come in visions
I want something concrete and leveled
I want to feel assurance within my knowing
It just needs to be powerful
I realize that most things are subtle
Just as the tears I shed daily
Frustration in my eyes as I continue on in this passage
Looking to see, looking to find
This stranger within my mind
Carved into existence... an enigma
Images vague and obscure
The shadowing of its true aura
Who is this stranger in my mind?
I want to know, be of the know
I am only in transition because I don’t wish to be
Annoying is this process of change
For I am impatient to wait for end results
Unsure of my uncertainty
Where doubts keep me in limbo
Shaded in the darkness lurking
Faceless, a vagabond whom longs permanency
A stabled land of existence
My inner soul searching...
I am the stranger in my mind

The Colors Beyond the Stars
There was a stench in the air
a fowl stench that is
it smelled of agony
betrayal
anger
hurt
sadness
and most of all, emptiness
In my opinion emptiness is the most common, yet worst aroma that surround everyday life on this planet.
To me the planet is not blue, green, and brown
It is black, white, and every shade of grey
I threw in white because that is where emptiness comes in
not grey because that's sadness
but black is all the putrid smells meshed into one
I call them smells and aromas because they come and go just like emotions
sometime lingering a bit longer when it's stronger
I prefer that over emotions
sometimes I am grey sometimes I am black,
but more so than not, I am white
That may seem like a funny turn of phrase to you
but to me it makes perfect sense
Just like there are aura colors that exist
so does it in the form of a state of mind that covers this planet like a sheet growing thicker and thicker until you can't see through it
just the colors that are in front of you
right now I am just white
I have been that way for a long time now
sometimes I shift between that and various shades of grey
that's just how it is
just black
white
and every shade of grey in between

Climbing Moutians
It was Rocky
Yet great like
Those tall mountains
I was in the clouds
When I was with you
Fog had me surrounded
all I could see is you
But that's all I needed
nothing we can't get through
My moutain climber
We could climb Everest
N still go higher
At least I thought so
Until I fell from the summit
Cuz you let go ,
Of my hand, no hope
I can't understand why
She let me fall
to grab someone else's rope
Yet great like
Those tall mountains
I was in the clouds
When I was with you
Fog had me surrounded

I'll tell you
I'll tell you what you were.
You were a notch on my bed post,
locker room bragging rights.
You were a cunt to receive my dick,
a receiver of my wet dream's emissions.
You were a blonde to follow the redhead,
not as good as the brunet.
You were way too short, barely up to my chin,
not fun size at all.
Your boobs were so small, most boys have more,
couldn't fill a training bra.
You were skinny, arms bony and legs gangly,
all skeletal angles and points.
You were a slippery mouth with a wet double jointed tongue,
that swallowed my cum.
Your mop head's hair, never combed, much less fixed,
made good handles to hold your mouth around my cock.
Your eyes were out of a cartoon, shadowed like a raccoon,
one green and one blue.
Your fingers were anorexic, without the grip of a noodle,
barely good to stroke me before I entered you.
Your ass was something to grip with my hands,
as I unload my cum inside you.
That's why I ignored you when I was with my guys.
So why did it shatter my heart, cause me to sink to my knees,
and wish I could die?
When you walked out of my life, with a tear in your eye,
and whispered over your shoulder,
"I loved you."

Deadly games are always the best to play
Small talk is something is very rarely had
You call me, and In a half hr I'll be there
Not because u like me or want to see me
Always because of what keeps you fiending
I got what you want
Phones always on you know for sure shops always open ..
But god forbid I fall asleep for one day
The world is ending the stars are falling
Calm down gotta close my eyes sometime
Keep your 900 msg to a minimum it's not gonna help you only makes me laugh at you
But don't fret I'll be open in time again
I was born to serve you
Your neighborhood candy man
