M Hi. Im Kayden . I would just like to thank you for paying attention to my corner of the internet. I'm also known as Vercetti, I like to write poetry because it is an escape from most of my life issues and just other parts of life tbh.
There is a quiet that lives between moments not the pause of silence, but the soft inhale where the world loosens its grip and lets us feel. We spend so long chasing echoes of ourselves in tomorrow’s promises and yesterday’s shadows, forgetting that now It is the only place our footsteps truly fall. Growth is not a thunderclap It’s the gentle ache of outgrowing old skins, the courage of becoming without knowing What will be. And in that uncertain light, We find a strange comfort: the sky still opens, The day still begins, and somewhere within us the will to try again keeps rising like dawn. 🌤

Between Moments
In the quiet green of a sunlit vine, Where dewdrops rest and shadows twine, Lies a melon round, with a heavy sigh, In fields where days drift idly by. Soft and sweet, its flesh inside, A tender heart it tries to hide, Yet weighed with seeds of fleeting cheer, Its sweetness tinged with hints of fear. It’s summer’s child with autumn’s gaze, Golden light in shorter days, Both ripe and raw, it knows too well The taste of joy on the edge of farewell. And as the fields turn bare and cold, The melon dreams of days of old, Of laughter, warmth, and skies so high— A sweetness meant to say goodbye.

Meloncoly
We climb through days of broken stone, hands raw from clutching all we own; a weight unseen, a silent yoke, and words that leave us choked and soaked. Against the odds, we stand and fight, in shadows thick as endless night, our dreams like embers flickering low, yet stoked by fires we barely know. We wear our scars like secret steel, a testament to wounds that heal; for every fall, for every scar, a piece of who we truly are. In tangled paths, through storms that sing, we feel the ache, the sharpened sting, but somewhere in the howl and blur, we find the strength to rise, endure. So here we stand, though battered, worn, from battles lost, from places torn— a human heart, relentless, fierce, with light enough to break and pierce.

In the Grip of Shadows
Tick tock...tick tock... Life is counting down on your internal clock. Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away. People you once knew walk by without a clue. The times you once shared exist as if you were never there. Years fly...friends die... and you never know when you'll say your last goodbye. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time, spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was mine. Or to go back even more, being a kid in a candy store. How I miss the way I used to feel on Christmas day when Santa was real. But back to reality...back to today, family is scarce and memories continue to fade away. Tick tock...tick tock... How I wish I could control this clock.

Memories
I just need time to think things through in my head, I've dreamt about times where i have been on my death-bed. a wise man once said, Be careful where you tread. Be careful you don't trigger the wild PTSD that left you for dead. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder So deadly its guilty of first degree ****** Its crazy to think you remember your kills, In order.

PTSD
Have you ever felt like you are trapped? In a world that is not your own? Well... What if i told you i know the feeling. I was Captive to the United States of America for 6 years, forced away from everything just to face my fears. To fight and "serve" my country. when as a matter of fact i was protecting one thing, The reputation of my country. I wasn't serving i was hurting, and while i was brainwashed into hurting innocent people i couldn't even take my rifle off of lethal. I was stuck. Captive. I wasn't free.

Captive - A Short Poem
Where are you going? What will you do? You are stuck, Left with a disease that will take over Your luck is running out It's like finding a four leaf clover And in a split second… It could all be over. Your life, your dreams, your family… Gone in an instant. The pain is constant, As each strand of hair goes it reminds you of a flower, You're losing your petals. Losing your beauty and pride. The depression has you feeling like a high tide Then all of a sudden you get denied. You didn't even get your chance to become a bride. C-A-N-C-E-R The very letters i can not say together. Its toxins cling to its victims. When you think it's gone it comes back

Where To Next?
Black Lives Matter. It's a phrase on banners, TV, Sports and more Can we just take a backseat from violence and gore? Think of all the children, mentally damaged at the core From all the racial abuse, We don’t need another generation of blues Obviously these cops don't have anything to lose. Don't have to worry, their badge is their excuse. Black Lives Matter. Ignorance, is the laws largest ally, The black community wanted to speak up but were too shy. Screaming out the blues like it comes naturally. In reality it's what they think actually. When they get stopped they prey for no casualty. Deep down they know all they feel is agony. Black Lives Matter. All the pain to the black community is caused manually. None of this was done automatically They urge us not to act dramatically, Wishing they would go back to the police academy. Learn how to control themselves, Now we gotta brace ourselves. What is to come? Black Lives Matter
