POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My name is Mark James, but I go by PureSkillz. It was name given to me by fellow friends when they read a few of my poems. I use to just stay up all hours of the night writing my emotions on paper. It was the only way I felt some sort of peace in life.

R.I.P Anthony Rose (10.13.1989 - 07.21.2019)
It been a minute since I last wrote any poetry…
But something happened that was way too close to me..
I wrote poetry for fallen friends, and I hoped I wouldn’t have to do it again for some time..
Well here we are, but I got a lot of things on my mind…
Another brother has made his way to heaven way too soon..
I was at work reading Facebook it was about a quarter to noon..
And there it was staring me in the face R.I.P Anthony Rose..
I did not want to believe it, so I reached out to someone who knows..
She...

See when I first started it was all about the comments...
Now im no longer worrying about that nonsense...
Its back to square one to once again begin this process...
And I will snap if by tomorrow I do not see any progress..
Cause how can I stack dollars when my poems make no sense...
It would leave me broken and hopeless..
Opening the door for me to transgress...
Knock someones teeth down their throat making it hard to digest..
How is it possible for your career to fall flat when you were at your best.. ...

The Real MVP
This game been there when I needed to express my emotions…
Helped my tears to flow like oceans…
Helped me laugh when I could not even crack a smirk…
Helped me relieve some stress from my chest when I was hurt…
Helped me lift myself up when I was laying in dirt…
Helped me overcome sadness when I was wiping my tears on my shirt..
Helped my heart beat normally when it was skipping a beat…
Helped me regain strength and get back on my feet…
Helped me find a reason to live when I when I wanted to put it to an...

Dear Matthew
I had a blessing my whole life, but just recently I started knowing…
Always wondered what I was doing or where I was going...
Was a crucial part in me growing…
Took care of me when he didn’t have to…
My blessings in disguise is my brother Matthew…
Always cared about me before he did himself…
Made sure I was okay before he cared about his health…
Continued doing everything he could without hearing a thank you…
Instead he received fuck you and I hate you…
He never heard the words he so truly...

Social Media Addiction
Today We Live In a World Overpowered by Social Media..
What Happen To When Kids Use To Read Books From Comics to the Encyclopedia..
We Sit Here Judging The Addicts That Smoke It, Snort It, and Inject It..
Yet When You Wake Up and Right Before Bed You Check It….
You Are Hooked To Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook..
Just Take A Look…
People Post Every Single Second of Their Day on Social Media..
I’m Not Trying to Be Mean To Ya..
Cause I Am Just As Guilty As The Next Man..
Just Like Driving and...

My Story ( Pt. 3 Dear Mom )
Part 2 Was Me Sharing a Tragic Event In My Life..
Even If I Went Back In Time I Couldn't Make It Right..
But It Changed Everything Forever..
Things Started Falling Apart That Were Once Together..
My Mother Stopped Caring About Her Motherly Duties...
Don't Worry I Still Love You Susie..
I Know None of This Was Preventable..
15 Years Later and It's Still Not Forgettable..
She Stopped Caring About Family and Started Giving Up...
Bacardi and Coke Always Filled Her Cup..
I Don't Blame You,...
Even If I Went Back In Time I Couldn't Make It Right..

My Story ( Pt. 2 )
Part 1 Was Me Talking About Moving From Home to Home..
How I Didn’t Have The Luxuries of Cable or a Phone..
But At The End I Left It Where Everything Was Good..
Moved To A White House With Kids In The Neighborhood.
Let’s Jump Forward to When I Was Nine..
Everything Was Going Great But I Knew It Was Only a Matter of Time..
Then That Day Came..
Nothing Was Ever The Same…
I Remember This Day Step for Step..
So Please Bare With Me As I Go Into Depth..
I Woke Up Got Ready And Began My...

My Story ( Pt. 1 )
Years Ago I Set Out To Tell A Story..
Didn’t Have To Think Cause My Life Would Do It For Me..
Well I Failed At That Accomplishing That Goal…
Poetic Success Left This Body As A Whole…
This Is My Attempt To Tell This Story Once And For All..
Let’s Get To It Let’s Not Stall..
Growing Up I Had A lot Of Ups And Downs..
Which Only Means I Had A lot Of Smiles But Also A lot Of Frowns..
Through My Life There Was A lot Of Moving From Home to Home..
Barely Had The Luxury of Cable or A Phone..
Sometimes Didn’t Even Have Electricity…
What Was For Dinner...
