Peachy
I remember the days when I couldn't get paid, I resorted to stealing the cash.
I'll never say sorry for being the man that I am, man, I'm just a result of my past.
If you saw me today, you'd never guess where I'm from, if you came to my hood, you wouldn't last.
The only Asian dude in a black school, I found a way to fit in with the mass.
I came out the mud, I grew up in the slums, but I promise I'm tryna give up on this hood life.
Never forget the struggles of sleeping with rats on the floor, I can't seem to remember no good nights.
Every cop I've encountered has...

OBSESSED
To be has got to be
When urges defines my will
A single mind was born
Hysterical
— Fostering frenzied desire
And I scratched till I bleed
Sated yet discontented
And it starts all over
Again
— Greed married my reasoning
When urges defines my will
A single mind was born
Hysterical
— Fostering frenzied desire
And I scratched till I bleed
Sated yet discontented
And it starts all over
Again
— Greed married my reasoning

MY SHADOW STAYED BEHIND
For decades
I lived my life
Toiling and struggling
I foiled a path
And then another
Fork roads and cross ones,
changing lanes sometimes
Never have I looked back
Regrets followed
But failed to catch up
In the mids of it all
I stopped and looked up
Thought to contest
The glaring of the Sun
But the noon shine hurt my eyes,
And so I bowed down
All I saw was a spot of light
My shadow nowhere in sight
I looked around
In panic and in doubt
And there it was in the...

But the noon shine hurt my eyes,
And so I bowed down

Bon-Voy'age?
It's damn sad when you can't wait to get back to work from your days off.
She belittles me.
I admit she's smarter than me.
Same tearing down of one's self esteem,that I've endured as a teen.
Oh how i pray for my demise on a daily basis.
This is way too much mental stress, I no longer care to face this.
Damn, i wish i had my mama.
Mama would be there to comfort me during this drama.
I haven't a mama anymore.
She passed in '85.
She's now no more.
How did i make it this long, how did i survive?
The bridges that were once before me,...

Knickers For Goalposts
that moment when your love life is on recharge...
Moth-eaten knickers
Melted chocolate snickers
Holey socks, and ruffled hair
A ramshackle room, and a soul to bare

6. Annotated Peoples Make Connections: if they walked around in love/for love/by love with SFX labels to their chests
my ears; jurassic lying dogs
crack an eye
at the slam door&shuts
with gutta-percha
abandoned housevines.
serum-anaesthetic so numb-
far from toilet.
bagful-godless plastic fluidclear
balloon stringing me along,
hear for me, my gadgets, my souls floating.
ersatz-doktor, labellapel I can’t
read-with-the-focus-upon-what-doesn’t-
I gear like your timepiece.
flat back & a tucked sweat-buckets
head wrap, time-bandage bondage aesthetic,
glass darkly revels when I sideblink
after a venerable dreamless...

The "Holy-Roller" Sisters
After going around the world looking for answers
Looking for a soul who'd understand
The sorrow and the void deep in my soul,
The fear so thick, it chokes my very breath
When it wraps its heavy darkness around me
Searching high and low to find peace and joy once more
Reaching out to Jesus on my own, but returning empty-handed...
Pushing my way through multitudes to reach some help.
Laying in bed, forming puddles with my tears...
I've begged pastors and preachers to pray deliverance for me
And they laugh and turn me away saying,...
Looking for a soul who'd understand
The sorrow and the void deep in my soul,

Pushing my way through multitudes to reach some help.

Listen here, Poetry, i want to tell you something,
i'm gonna be straight with you here
you may find it somewhat upsetting
but it is for real
okay here goes -
i have conspired
to pull you out from where you hide.
i have connived
to kill you in the dark.
i have connived
to unwrite your bones and refashion them. ...

Ebb.
This wind touches everything.
Everywhere.
Pulling tides.
Sculpturing sand.
Weathering the rocks.
Smashing waves.
Eroding my will.
Flooding my soul.
Dividing my spirit.
I release my will.
My self control.
Finding equilibrium.
A balance to my conflict.
Acceptance of the enevitable.
No longer chasing dreams.
Just a quiet submission.
Oh come tide come.
Let all of this be...
I open my lungs.
The salt stings my throat.
Water rushes and rushes.
Going down all hands lost.
