is this a birthday,
or the reminder of an impending anniversary?
does it bring to mind that near fatal January day?
are you happy you ultimately stayed?
you were 17,
you had been adopted at 2,
you moved every 4 years,
you were recently diagnosed with bipolar.
stability and consistency were long gone concepts,
drugs found you along the way,
loneliness was the only view,
you felt pathetic while your mother wept.
you were 20,
you had the girl and lost her,
you dropped out of college,

Dare Not Raise My Sight And Ask How And Why
It is my time one other lesson to learn
And see through pain truths that me burn
In life nothing for granted is to gain
To wage wars against kismet is vain
Or think to a life through me I could belong
And own the right to show right from wrong
One other lesson despite what I am of age
To reconsider what I feel and think is sage
So humble to God that I dare not lament and whine
I just have to bow and ask not to be a soul of no spine
Rather able to endure what makes a backbone bend
Not a human of fake strength trying to...

Simply say farewell to intellectual ability and commonsense and a hearty hello to rampant stupidly!

education, rather than most fatuously

narcissistic evocation, of quite rabid
ignorance; by asininely, and likewise

Crackman
Vomit stains in the front-shit stains in the back
His everyday soul mission in life is smoking crack,
“His superhuman abilities from crack are uncharacteristically unique
Giving him the worldwide nickname ‘Smoke Daddy the Super Freak’,
“He has the telepathic power to eliminate soap and water on the spot
Forever remaining funky with also the ability to transform any substance into crack rock,
“His slightest touch will cause anyone to become a crack addict
Having them constantly scratching and going to the extremes to support their habit,...

The Pensive BIrd Of The Mountain
A morning walk in the pine forest, as everything was ripe for the feet to be stretched
and the mind to be swept clean, as some nights are such dark that all the world's lights are not enough
to illuminate its abyssal glooms.
A journey along the upward track,left by morning shepherds, aiming to pump a new feeling into the tired heart,utterly drained of its emotional slang and truthful glossary, as the brain was a few inches to collapse....
The morning mist like a veiled face, gives way only to bright glistening pearly dots

The Fall of Empires and the Promise of Eden
- The Fall of Empires and the Promise of Eden -
I was told not too very long ago, that I am a holy person. Over the years... many people, have told me that my words are sacred, profound, and meaningful to them, and that through those words their lives could be changed. I have spent much time lately in prayer, and I have experienced many visions and a great many dreams in which God spoke unto me, and I shall use the word God to refer to such a truly transcendent and glorious principle. Elsewhere, I have referred to this as Allah, and one name is just as good as any other for...

True self-awareness and genuine self-respect are unquestionably distinctly beneficial!
By Stanley Collymore
No one genuinely needs heroes
simply for the sake of having
them and instead what's
required are people that inspire one's
self, to literally make the most of that
individual's very own capabilities. So
in essence, specifically how is some
delusional birth-right individual, with
very unwarrantedly amassed wealth
and privilege and rather disdainfully
looks down on you even if basically
quite actually off chance they really
truly got to know of your existence!

Demeanor (Stan Lee vs. White Rabbit)
Heartbeat so loudly ominous
my lioness can't take a Dozer on my chest
at a Thanos snap my aura goes gorilla
(warfare) even Kong she say baby even calm you stress
(Bizarro) nah more like Banner in his feelings
I just keep Him Super suppress
there's no Beast topping paramount of Deadpool
when he's loose rip the \S/ off your breath
I tore my heart from my sleeves
you’d think I’m (Logan) boosting top echelon of my rank
it’s nothing major commanded a sergeant

My Father's Day
When I was twelve, I was nothing like my dad. He was tall, dark, muscular. His eyes were crystal blue swords, that could cut a man in half. Or slice the clothes off of a woman. He was formidable but mellow. Until he lost his temper, and then the bull within him was released. It was always red.
Myself, at twelve years old, was everything opposite. I was undersized and short, compared to other boys my age. I had already had two major surgeries by two years old, and a few accidents. So it seemed like I was collecting scars like big centipedes upon my body. I was also developing some kind...

house of cards
it all crashed down with 4 short words
echo reverberating in my ears
shattering every fragile illusion
destroying all hope of a life never had
dreams of an idyllic childhood
left in the past
...gone...
point of no turning back
...
& I couldn't tell you who said them
only remember dropping the phone
going out into darkness
utterly alone
left my baby in her cradle
& simply walked away
goddess forgive me...
...it was necessary
too raw yet to weep
standing beneath a darkened sky ...

Well Water
I trust nobody.
It's a sad reality of PTSD
To never get answers for a life changing event, that shook the very core of my being.
And when you believe in God you can't just fill the void like you want to.
Last night a friend brought a quart of apple pie moonshine, which is ironic because I was just talking about that yesterday...how I may have drank like a fish in the past, but I've never tried moonshine.
I wasn't addicted to alcohol because I needed it chemically, I was addicted to the escape it provided.
I could...

True Justice (Desert Hunt)
Through the New Mexico desert night like rats they ran
Six backpack carrying illegal males accompanied by a long-haired woman,
“The weakness of the government’s border security made him 357 mad
So once again the desert hunt was on for the illegals trespassing ass,
“With his night vision on he followed the illegals as they fled
Three head shots from his LSR employed them in the land of the dead,
“The woman caught a round through the left and right knee
While another jumped down a cactus filled slope attempting to flee,
