His Plans
I been losin' my sleep
Tryin' so hard to keep
Those dreams if I can
And it's all in God's hands
Where do I fit in His plans?
We're gonna see
But the tides keep growin' so tall
They make me feel so small
Like water could wash me away
And hell couldn't hurt much more
Than losing in this war
For all the ones that I love
So am I to be the hero?
Or am I nothing now?
When will I see?
My eyes revolve in my head
Thinkin' of what I said
Now I don't know what to say.
But I...
Tryin' so hard to keep
Those dreams if I can
And it's all in God's hands
Where do I fit in His plans?
We're gonna see
But the tides keep growin' so tall
They make me feel so small
Like water could wash me away
And hell couldn't hurt much more
Than losing in this war
For all the ones that I love
So am I to be the hero?
Or am I nothing now?
When will I see?
My eyes revolve in my head
Thinkin' of what I said
Now I don't know what to say.
But I...

In Between
I stand in the quiet space
Between feeling and knowing,
Between what I can't quite name
And the truth I hold deep within.
I am certain of me…….
Of the strength that carries me forward,
Of the soul that always finds a way
To rebuild, to create, to heal.
But still, there’s a question that lingers,
A weight that rests upon my chest,
Not of who I am, but of what this is.
Uncertain, and yet… I feel….
I don’t have the answers yet,
I will step back to find my breath.
In the quiet of my work, I will know
In time, the pieces...
Between feeling and knowing,
Between what I can't quite name
And the truth I hold deep within.
I am certain of me…….
Of the strength that carries me forward,
Of the soul that always finds a way
To rebuild, to create, to heal.
But still, there’s a question that lingers,
A weight that rests upon my chest,
Not of who I am, but of what this is.
Uncertain, and yet… I feel….
I don’t have the answers yet,
I will step back to find my breath.
In the quiet of my work, I will know
In time, the pieces...

Cook
I got the recipe
and I’m gonna make it
don’t feed my head with doubt
no reasons to fake this
I’m gonna try harder
and I’m gonna be better
if not for me
then for us
I’ve seen the bottom
and I’ve seen the top
if this life’s a competition
then so be it
running for the gold
so let me cook
damn right I’m hungry
quite starved in fact
I’m done with being looked down on
I’m done with this superiority crap
ready for a new flavor
when I’m baking
I want to see it in their faces
that look as if...
and I’m gonna make it
don’t feed my head with doubt
no reasons to fake this
I’m gonna try harder
and I’m gonna be better

I’ve seen the bottom

if this life’s a competition
then so be it

A Better Tomorrow
What of these cards a man be dealt
a twisted fate no longer felt
raging river or endless sea
he seeks alone his destiny
And facing death, eights and aces
so many familiar faces
dance aimlessly through memories
they whisper to him in the trees
Despite the road, we journey forth
a simple path without a course
wandering minds so colorful
he pushed the pen and felt the pull
Into a world of poetry
where thoughts are scribed so eagerly
amidst the backdrop of sorrow
he writes a better tomorrow
a twisted fate no longer felt
raging river or endless sea
he seeks alone his destiny
And facing death, eights and aces
so many familiar faces
dance aimlessly through memories
they whisper to him in the trees
Despite the road, we journey forth
a simple path without a course
wandering minds so colorful
he pushed the pen and felt the pull
Into a world of poetry
where thoughts are scribed so eagerly
amidst the backdrop of sorrow
he writes a better tomorrow

Let’s Go!
This is the end for me
the stench of self pity is
making me sick, we used to
laugh at crying men, I get it now
It goes on, and so I go with it
life I mean, I have to live it
understanding still that I died
with you, and that me, is gone forever
So enough with the Tool and Nine
Inch Nails, I’m switching it up for
a comeback. just gonna do me
and you’ll be there along for the ride
I’m letting you go son
hold it down until I’m done,
no one said this shit is easy but
you always...

i slept
i slept
more than
slumber
needed
to be,
and in
those
moments
i dreamed
and in
those times
i had
no fears,
i was
relatively
content
with myself,
but what
will i be
tomorrow?

Kneel Unto Heaven Stand Upon Faith (The Book of Esther)
Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.
Harriet Tubman
Heritage to Queens and Kings to proclaim battles with written declarations of one's sovereignty with unspoken philosophical weapons
Twisted tongues in life, adaption of its feeble scorn
In the hereafter, I have glimpsed mortality to give hearts reprisal upon reborn
To the keepers of the wind, fire, air, and of the sea
The fourscore entwined, defined of mouths when...

Hi, my name is K,
and I almost slipped today.
There’s just so much I want to share
when I convince myself that you might care…
Alcoholics have sponsors when they’re under attack
but I have to find ways to have my own back.
So I pick off the scabs, I watch the blood bubble,
reread the silences, relive the trouble.
I let the hurt choke me like hands on my neck;
it’s not masochism – it’s reality check.
Then anger steps up to take over the fight,
beating back shame, setting boundaries right.
As tears flood my spirit, my...

What It Takes
People will beat you.
Hurt and mistreat you.
But so far, you've held on.
You don't get to go very far.
Because they know who you are.
But so far, you've held on.
When you're being bruised.
Made fun of and used.
And they just leave you there.
Cause nobody cares.
Enough to pull you up and be your best friend.
So when you mess up it won't be the end.
Do you have what it takes?
Does it take what you have?
Just forgive your mistakes.
It's time to fight back.
As he strikes the final blow. ...

The Storm Within
what can she say when a storm within
the depths of her heart had started to grow
the cold touches of betrayal begin to descent
in her complacency and trust so sure
the twenty years of togetherness
gone in a minute like a train crash
nothing seemed to make sense
gone now the security just love unsure
hubby dear so handsome so faithful
had tasted the forbidden fruit of outside love
embraced the lovemaking on a strange bed
tasted the ambrosia and varieties of excitement
now he chose to stray and play hard ...
the depths of her heart had started to grow
the cold touches of betrayal begin to descent
in her complacency and trust so sure
the twenty years of togetherness
gone in a minute like a train crash
nothing seemed to make sense
gone now the security just love unsure
hubby dear so handsome so faithful
had tasted the forbidden fruit of outside love
embraced the lovemaking on a strange bed
tasted the ambrosia and varieties of excitement
now he chose to stray and play hard ...
