1. I’m only 20 years old. Sometimes I forget I have another 50 or so to figure everything out
2. Green tea Arizona is the best flavor but if you disagree I respect your opinion. No matter how wrong it is.
3. No matter how much I hate it I know pizza wouldn’t taste the same without the cheese. I learned years ago that sometimes I will not like every part of something I love.
4. I used to be insecure about my body. Until a girl commented on my chest and I realized she was probably just mad that I had bigger *******
5. When I was 12 I started buying swords off of amazon to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. I packed a bag with canned beans, water, some granola bars that I eventually ate, extra clothes, and a pack of cards on how to survive the zombie apocalypse of course. Too often I prepare for disasters that may never come. But I haven’t died yet so can I guess it can’t be that bad.
6. I have never broken a bone but in their place are the promises I never kept
7. I’m about 5’9. In my Nike boots. I’m more switchblade than katana, but if you push me the wrong way you’re bound to get cut.
8. I grew up a broken dam. A leaking faucet. But I always tightened up. So know that I ain’t no punk. I’m just an emotional ***** And I’ll really rock your **** teary-eyed and all.
9. I am not depressed because I am not my depression. But we have been roommates for years now. Bro pays no rent but he kinda big so I can’t just kick him out.
10. Some of the skeletons in my closet still breathe to this day. I guess that means they still have some time left.

I think I paint myself with too many red capes and not enough red hands. I push blame onto others like hustlers push weight just so it will not rest on my shoulders anymore.

10 Facts About Myself
1. I was born January 5th,
I guess that makes me a Capricorn…
whatever.
2. My name is Xxavier.
Spelled with two X’s.
I know that it is a cool way to spell it.
It’s the coolest thing my dad ever gave me.
In fact,
It’s the only thing my dad ever gave me.
3. I learned how to take
compliments
the same way I learned to ride a bike.
I don’t know how to ride a bike.
4. At times I find it hard to control my voice.
Some days,
its a loaded M-16 pointed towards enemy lines
Just waiting to fire.
Other days,
The gun jams,
and I can no longer find the ammunition.
5. My hobbies include
Hiding behind metaphors and rhythms
And trying to survive in a world
Where everyone appears to be living just fine.
6. I believe that there are two types of people.
Those who believe that Spider-Man 3
was the best movie in the trilogy,
and those who are wrong.
7. I like Oreos…A lot.
We actually have a lot in common.
Most people enjoy the taste of our white parts
Over our black ones.
8. I come from cigarette **** filled hallways
In ward 8 southeast DC.
From three piece chicken wing and fries
with the mumbo sauce on top
cuz we ain’t never scared to get our hands a lil *****
9. I have written countless drafts
of this poem over the span of a year.
All of which
are incomplete.
Because
I still haven’t figured out
who I really am.

They say,
that the only difference between
a Garden and a Graveyard,
is what you choose to put in the ground.
I can see myself in the dirt;
The roses grow where my love once did.
Everyone told me,
that I would make something
beautiful one day.

When my mother says
that I have my fathers walk,
I worry.
Does this mean that I will
soon follow in his waltz?

Lonely souls
walk along
empty corridors.
The walls
pulse, as
they look
for something
to fill
the space.

s the sound of water hitting the pavement echoing in your ears too?
Is it pounding at your window like it is mine?
As if it’s meant for you?
Do you wish to dance in its grace?
Can you see the lightning
As it crackles indifferently across the sky
Can you hear the thunder erupting from the clouds?
Is it like it is here?
Is it raining where you are?

I heard that scars
show that you’re strong.
They are signs that you survived
whatever tried to **** you.
What does it mean
when you’re the one leaving them?
Are you strong,
for not dying?
Or does it make you weak?
Because you’re too afraid to finish the job.

You didn’t use a gun
You didn’t drug me
You didn’t have a knife
Instead
I let myself love you
And that’s all you needed
