What's The Game?
There you sit, surveying the wire, anyone you desire.
Sure, that's ok but doesn't it all catch up with you,
Doesn't it ultimately lead down a dead end road -
What are you actually offering?
What's the game?
Anyone can be good with words and minds can tune in -
Especially to vulnerability. There's nothing clever about that though.
The clever bit is hanging on to it, realising what you have is special;
Something you can value, not this silly 'I'm not the bad guy' stuff.
Sometimes we have to look within ourselves to see what's really...

Kick rocks nigga
No time

random
to them i was a brick in the wall
a random construction tool
without eyes
and soul
they never saw me
i was never of my own
a random construction tool
without eyes
and soul
they never saw me
i was never of my own

Beauty
I was never one to bask in my own beauty or believe it to be true I had any to bask in. But today I steep in my beaut like a tea bag, let it soak into my lungs and drown out my hatred. Today I am graceful my beauty dancing along my tongue as words flood the room, each one full of meaning. Today I forget my insecurities and sing life into my lungs again. Today I am imperfect, and everyday that is beauty.

Casket shopping
Dessert for thought
I’ve got decades old wounds that are still internally bleeding
That chapter of your life you closed I’m still busy reading
That’s how I keep the past present with me...
It’s funny how in life , when you do good mostly and make a mistake it marks you but the opposite is positive ha!
I’m spontaneous so I let you get a head start , I just walk to the finish while others flat out run while I’m just jogging my memory cause nice guys finish last.
Please don’t ask how I’m doing , I don’t know better... you are so cool I don’t even deserve to...

Untitled III
I’ve made peace with my pain,
It’s yours that I’m curious about.
How many times did you die,
From old wounds never healed?
We bled each other dry,
Yet I crawled away & filled those gashes with another woman’s ambitions.
Dreams not quite my own,
Whos flesh have I adorned today?
I change masks like the leaves turn colors in the fall - effortlessly
Masks hand carved by yours truly based off of your perception of me
But I’ve made peace with my pain,
It’s yours that I’m curious about.
It’s yours that I’m curious about.
How many times did you die,
From old wounds never healed?
We bled each other dry,
Yet I crawled away & filled those gashes with another woman’s ambitions.
Dreams not quite my own,

Masks hand carved by yours truly based off of your perception of me
But I’ve made peace with my pain,
It’s yours that I’m curious about.

NOTHING
it was an assemblage of nothing....
I believe I was just a dream
or maybe only a thought... in the blank nothingness.
Every direction I turned, nothing but emptiness stretching to the
edge of the world:
white space and blue/white space,
There were no living creatures in sight. Not a bear, nor a fox,
not even a bird.
Nothing but cognitive content.
Maybe perhaps an outline of a far off something in the
distance ... but, yet, it was all just empty empty empty
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it...

Intimacy
It's not always found
between the sheets;
it may not even be with
whom you'd expect
A tiny crack in the interior,
and a little glimpse
appears
And you are recognized
You could be on a work break;
fading into sleep
But you have that awareness
that you are cared for
And it is soothing
And you like who you are
just a little more.

My Next Journey
My next Journey
Is to a place that
Has somewhat
Become foreign to me
My next Journey
Is to a place that
I used to love so much
A place that was filled with Joy
My next Journey
Is to a place that
Isn't too far away
Infact my next journey
Is to a place that
Is exactly where I am
My next Journey
Is one of fulfillment
My next Journey
Is about my own Growth
My Next Journey is within
The place is my own Soul
Is to a place that
Has somewhat
Become foreign to me
My next Journey
Is to a place that
I used to love so much
A place that was filled with Joy
My next Journey
Is to a place that
Isn't too far away
Infact my next journey
Is to a place that
Is exactly where I am
My next Journey
Is one of fulfillment
My next Journey
Is about my own Growth
My Next Journey is within
The place is my own Soul

Resolution
I feel the Storm is coming
It's best that you go inside
Four riders they're coming closer
Try your best to run and hide x2
Days grow long, nights grow colder
And the chill won't leave these bones
Nights grow long, days grow colder
And the chill won't leave these bones
The Light is fading, and the Dark is near
Time is coming so it's time to leave
The Light is fading, and the Dark I fear
Time is coming so I have to leave
Chorus x2
A north wind comes to the south land
It wraps...
It's best that you go inside
Four riders they're coming closer
Try your best to run and hide x2
Days grow long, nights grow colder
And the chill won't leave these bones
Nights grow long, days grow colder
And the chill won't leave these bones
The Light is fading, and the Dark is near
Time is coming so it's time to leave
The Light is fading, and the Dark I fear
Time is coming so I have to leave
Chorus x2
A north wind comes to the south land
It wraps...

loyal to my past self
i sit in the darkness and cry
does it even matter why?
i know I'll be alright
just wipe my tears and fight
i am temporary
come to me when you need me
use me up and deceive me
tell me that you hear me
let the morphine make me numb
until i can't get up
love is never enough
is it tears or blood that they want?
temporary is what you think of me
they watch me bleed
walk over my dead body
they hear my screams
but say nothing
because i am temporary
let my feet guide me to the past ...
does it even matter why?
i know I'll be alright
just wipe my tears and fight
i am temporary
come to me when you need me
use me up and deceive me
tell me that you hear me
let the morphine make me numb
until i can't get up
love is never enough
is it tears or blood that they want?
temporary is what you think of me
they watch me bleed
walk over my dead body
they hear my screams
but say nothing
because i am temporary
let my feet guide me to the past ...

Don't get me wrong
One of these days you'll receive a letter
And you'll know who it's from.
It's profuse with the scent of spring
And the color of a million days.
You are strong
Like the mountains against the wind
There is no other you will ever need
To stand immovable amidst adversity
But oh, You'll be loved
With the kind of love you deserve.
That person will look at you
And in one glance know
That life is a blessing.
And your scars will fade
As you remember this warmth.
You will smile
With a smile...
And you'll know who it's from.
It's profuse with the scent of spring
And the color of a million days.
You are strong
Like the mountains against the wind
There is no other you will ever need
To stand immovable amidst adversity
But oh, You'll be loved
With the kind of love you deserve.
That person will look at you
And in one glance know
That life is a blessing.
And your scars will fade
As you remember this warmth.
You will smile
With a smile...
