POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Mind Games
My eyes swell and tears run down my cheek, my ears can't take no more and my heart is skipping beats, I dream of peace but these pieces don't seem to fit together, I want things to change I want everything to feel better, but what is my purpose as I'm trying to locate my soul, I wish we could communicate how we use to, I wish, I listened to what I was told, the future behold many blessings to see, promises will be made and some shall be destined for me, I need to slow down, I need to breath, I need to see all the beautiful things that surround me, for most of us the inner battle is greed,...

War Poet
When you tell a kid they are worthless, when you beat them down, you feel anger, but when you are not around, they cry , they grow up with pain inside, they grow up on the outside, but never complete, never truly alive, they struggle to find love, they often dream about it, but what they know, or at least what they have seen, it's not real just a silly dream, we are only promised pain, and when you are born into the fire, it's injected into your veins, a product of poverty, it wasn't your fault, but what you did still bothers me, I'm at a crossroads and I don't know how to feel, the kid...

My road to glory filled with thorns
Trapped in chains but my heart speaks freely, some could never understand even those I love dearly, a passion for more maybe a curse, picture my allegory a life with a undefinable thirst, I speak from legend because my minds eye leads to greatness, the rocky ups and downs and the ugly truth described in my process to make it, driven by a passion only my heart could take it, it takes a severe beating but that's something sacred, scars and tears bloody nights suicidal fears but hope was the only thing that pulled me through those years, learning to love and watching myself grow, what we can do...

Tribulations & Knowledge
Deep inside the depths of hell lies the minds of the misguided, the hearts of the unfortunate, and the eyes of the blind, whittled with fear these lost souls are trapped and hope is no where near, Adopted by the dark, tragically I fell apart still feeling the effects of a broken heart, shell shocked I was shelved and I don't know when it will stop, but pain is experience and with that I've increased my tolerance for none sense, so I look to the future instead of back tracking over past tense trials, it's as simple as snakes and ladders, we rise and fall and no matter who's watching you gotta...

Strength in 2s
Girls are a distraction , I call them a temporary satisfaction when I'm feeling for action, never put your guard down, don't act surprised when the alarm sounds and you are left scarred and clowned, as I drown in my own tears, trapped in solitude just me and my worst fears, crucial circumstances as pistols promise painless exits, deceived by loved ones, so now my heart is torn and I feel infected, don't ever underestimate the power of my brother, we are on a different level fuelled by love for each other, I believe in honesty and the truth is my heart is open, I want something real not just...

Open Mind
What's the point of a promise, the world is full of lies, and money is never honest,
true hearts fighting greed, green prevails the root is deep, devils continue planting seeds,
Imagine a lion without his pride, it's like dying inside, what's the use in trying to survive,
blessed with an open mind, I'm not trying to fit in, I'm fine with being one of a kind,
true hearts fighting greed, green prevails the root is deep, devils continue planting seeds,
Imagine a lion without his pride, it's like dying inside, what's the use in trying to survive,
blessed with an open mind, I'm not trying to fit in, I'm fine with being one of a kind,

Just another day
I've got hidden feelings and lots to say, when I was young, I didn't believe in god, I would disrespect his name, distant from Christ, I've felt alone all my life, with no one to talk to, I never knew what to do, I was cold as ice, fitting, in a cold world, my emotions were holding me down, or was it the insecurities that caused me to frown, with no friends, I had no one to trust, I had nothing to look forward to, except for trips to the food bank each month, sleepless nights, and often no where to sleep, I would lose all hope, as I struggled to smile, and my family struggled to eat, abused...
