Love is,
Also letting them go
So they can be intoxicated, infatuated, crazy in love with someone else
Someone that is not you
You wouldn’t dare interrupt that because you know how much they’ve wanted that
They told you, you listened
But did not act
Refused to
Did not know how
Were afraid to
But not them
They acted
Knew how and were fearless
Now you’re alone
Distant
Reminiscing
Wondering
When will love happen to me? (again)

For my people that work from sunrise to sunset and even under a harvest moon and pick and pull and clean and babysit and nurse and tell stories and plow and feed and nurture and read and write and live and laugh and cry and sorrow and breathe
For my people that know there's something more
Don't know what it is yet urged to understand it
For my playmates who left the hood
My brethren, I cheer for you—we did it!
For my playmates who are still there
Stay strong and be stronger
For my playmates that have died
You live on through me and my pen
For the boys and girls who grew up being told
"Don't be a statistic"
For the boys and girls who were told
"You all can't read!"
For my people that have had nothing all their life and strive for something more
For my people that want a life worth living and then they live it
Let a new earth rise for my people and for my playmates and for all the boys and girls that dreamt of shooting stars, colorful balloons and swinging so high your toes touch the sky
That! Keep that ember lit and bright

Have you ever felt unstoppable...
Like nothing could detain you from reaching your goals
That is how I feel right now
–––––––––––
On top mountains the wind gusts loudly
Clouds form and mist pecks at your skin
I have seen the horizon
I know how far one can see
I am here to tell you:
You can go further
The wind hollers with might
Let it elevate you
Surround your soul with its strength
Breathe in, inflate with courage!
Enough to eat Gods

And she smiles...
With the greatest of grins
She blows trees and keeps them rooted
He's the cool kid who drinks fizzy water
'stead of foamy brew
Listens to fat beats with bars
dreams of his castle and exploring Mars
She smiles because she found someone that gets her
He explores the bashful smirks
She allures the curious
He seduces insecurities

And as he took another swig
Yes, Another
of Whisky
not whiskey but
Whisky
there's a difference.
He knew this
He also knew he was drunk
he drunk more
and they asked him
Did you talk to your parents today?
yes,
well
we Texted
And He took another swig
He drunk
He gulped
And he wished that text was a Talk
So They wouldn't feel so far away

why is it that alcohol makes me leak
it opens and i pour
it reminds me that you exist
i wish you were real
in order to leak i drink
i drink and leak
leaking my truths and secret secrets
you are a secret
a secret that seeps through the cracks
the cracks that leak
leak the bleak creek
leak, leak, leak
drink, drink

If hands were enough
to hold an avalanche off,
then my heart could stop an earthquake
The beat will contradict the quake
with its shakes and quivers
The great divide is present
the split zig-zaged
It gaps what once was
Seperating; it will never be
split-screen identity--
Simultaneous Distance

May 20th...
I don't even know what day it is today

Last night I did *******
And I smoked a lot of ****
And I drank a lot
Between Screwdrivers and Cuba Libres
There was something there waiting
I'm searching for something without any idea of how to find it
Why do I punish myself?
It's just me causing harm to me
I am becoming my reflection

Pitiful thing,
my heart,
it is frightened to love
--anyone but you.
