POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Mama
Mama never told me
Through all the bedtime stories
How hard life will be
How were never truly free
Never gave me insight
On life's inevitable fight
Or how one mistake
Can change entire fate
Mama never warned me
How much I will hurt
From gifting my heart
To ones who do not deserve
She never told me
Not everyone loves like me
Even my family
Why didn't she tell me
Mama never informed me
The struggles that lie before me
Did not prepare me
Maybe because neither she predicted my future to be ...

Phone Home
Ringing up to you;
Answer the phone.
Return my call;
I drown in an ocean of questions.
Left with no enlightened answers.
I need to know;
Why is there so much talk about love?
Every time I show affection
I’m left broken and pressed to fill with hate.
Why is it necessary to have judgment?
People won’t face their demons;
Yet still discriminate?
Why is there so much pain?
When nothings left to gain.
Why won't the pain abstain?
Why are the rich hard to satisfy?
When the poor are barely getting by?
What...

My Dearest Lost Love
Dear Lost Love,
I am starting with the fact I am sorry for my past behaviors.
For some time, I lost myself and god my savior.
I realize the way I acted was not right;
I lost all goals and insight.
I chose corruption and decided to no longer fight.
With the weight bearing on my shoulders;
I found it difficult to be a soldier.
Though time has now passed and what we had is truly over;
I need to write for full disclosure.
I am sorry you lost your best friend.
Singlehandedly, I drove us to our descend.
I know god has a plan; ...

Pondering Questions
Dear God;
I don’t mean to prod.
I just have these pondering questions;
About my life lessons.
How much more pain is to come?
Every day I pray for the pain to be gone.
Though only twenty-five;
I allowed corruption to take over and lost my drive.
Weighed down by crippling weight placed on my shoulders;
I crumbled.... It is difficult to be your soldier.
Forgive me; I honestly don’t mean to prod.
I need enlightenment god.
Another one of your souls are completely lost.
Weighed down from exhaust.
I hope you...
I don’t mean to prod.

Dear Brother
I have some feeling's to uncover.
I never meant to put you under;
Make your world thunder.
I know on the surface,
It looks like I did this on purpose.
At least I can honestly say,
I resent myself every day.
I have all of this crippling weight on my shoulders;
It feels like a huge fucking boulder.
It makes it hard to be a soldier.
I've lost my drive to fight,
It secretly makes me want to take flight.
I know it's not right,
To seek the light.
Most days it's hard to hold on;
I feel gone.
