It is You
There can only be one
that can shatter
your kindness
there can only be one
that can make your heart
fade to black
there can only be one
that can smash
the peace you are seeking
in a world that conforms
to deniable norms
where self promises
slowly fade
among the stains
on the floor
of your cage
that can shatter
your kindness
there can only be one
that can make your heart
fade to black
there can only be one
that can smash
the peace you are seeking
in a world that conforms
to deniable norms
where self promises
slowly fade
among the stains
on the floor
of your cage

Kings and Queens and Guillotine's
NEVER would I ask of you to bow before me
Nor would I carve you out a road you could not travel
I don't presume you could understand how long I have built the castle in which I have earned every stone
As I could never comprehend the life you have and still live amidst your battles and the realm you have created by strength and courage
When we fantasize about being Kings and Queens
Who is anyone to hover hatred over those dreams
It motivates my life when it come from those who criticized the meaning of my intent
Living in a world few have achieved and many...

comatose conscious
hovers constantly
conscientiously
objectifying
imperceptible
digital veil
big brother's
cosmetic Joke
stinging succor
fuses eyelids
secretly
in broad daylight
comatose conscious
structural template
seizes flaws
flinging potently inward
weaving impervious skeins
self inflicted comfort
muted anguish
oiling the machine

Lost&Found
Verse:]
People look at me, doubting me, Wondering where I came from (Wondering where I came
from)
IE, San Bernardino nigga, Watts is my second home (Watts is my second home)
Had so many A to C’s and satisfactories
The books smarts gotcha thinking I was raised from a well off family (family)
Never seen the struggle due to hella food man I mean hella food (I mean hella food)
They outside looking in..That shit is just too unforgettable (shit just unforgettable)
Only noticeable thing was the switch off every week
Dickies, rip curl, vans…Next week name...

LIFES REVOLVING DOORS
From moments pass to moments unforgetable people come as people go as the story goes but as in lifes revolving doors that open and close, sometimes those who enter through that door arent of the right kind in mind nor heart not even in there soul hiding behind a screen of glass.
But yet through this realm of lifes journeys and travels with its twists turns and...

Big f**king Bang
In the everglades of my mind
swings a thought,
one I try never to ponder because
it hasn't an answer and I know that.
It creeps in on those soft days
when everything is at ease
and then I cant breathe.
Motherfucking anxiety.

Winds blow still
From the sounds and screams
And when I walked with infantry
For the wounds were hidden deep
The enemy still inside my head
Combats ghosts and I were repatriated
And conflict was contantly updated
For that prayer you came to answer
Brought some solace to that cancer
The nightmares vivid and now lesser
Comradeship to share that crutch
Reduce the depths, and curse lifes muck
Find the bridge of hope and trust
Glimmer hope like your favorite chocolate bars

Bad Days
Today is a bad day
Not your definition
But mine
My type of bad day
involves worrying,
anxiety, and depression
A constant state of
"I can't do this" and
"I'm just done"
The never ending
Thought of
"I'm not good enough"
My type of bad day
involves my brain thinking
"I'm going to fail at life"
"I can't do anything right"
"No one can know how bad I feel because then they will assume I just want attention"
"Just smile, no one cares about your emotions, no one even talks to you. It's not...

Title Given
If I could know the title given
to the life that would follow
forewarned by script’s hand
this prophecy yet to pass
chapters made of shifting pages
some pristine and others tattered
with many more yet to turn
if the fates feel it’s deserved
precepted by a declaration
only gods know the heading
stating future’s hidden winding
perfect in the rearview mirror
still a warning would be nice
six foot tall against the sky
this dream will fail in the future
portents lost in lettered scribbles.

Understanding This
Its a fascinating idea Life lessons and time.
Its hard to imagine Reason without rhyme.
I've walked the world and never left home.
Backwards I haven't traveled, not dared to roam.
Memories constantly flood, overwhelm my brain.
Muscle memory exists so I'll miss the pain.
The path I've wandered, I've not walked alone.
Though in precious company I am on my own.
I can not pretend to fathom a plan.
Whether by my own design or by grand.
Divinity I lack, omniscience I have not.
Looking at this life now, I prefer...

Skid Row
If it doesn’t rain, it pours
I hadn’t even finished my chores
When, I stumbled upon, your secret ways
Where you thought you could hide our stash
Have you been hiding it, for those rainy days
Well, today it’s going on a long drive, with me, ok
So now, I hope you suffer, burn and finally crash
Don’t be treating your gal, like that, or I’ll make you pay
I can’t be that bad
Compared to what you had
Gave you love and respect
Why treat me as a suspect
Been financially short of cash
Existing, officially as white trash ...
