Every time I think of you, I feel this thunderstorm in my soul
trying to get move on from this tragedy but unsure where to go
When someone brings up your name, I start to lose it
you’ve had this hold on my heart & I’m struggling trying to lose it
I can’t even let my ego take over when my soul cries
knowing that someone else is enjoying your vibes
I wanted to be your everything & build us a home
but I can’t believe that I got nothing after waiting for so long
A man doesn’t settle down too often & he doesn’t do half the things I did
candle lit showers, rose petals on the floor, or even fathering another man’s child
I know I’m an amazing man but you made me feel worthless
especially after making me feel like what we had was so perfect
Can’t stand the sound of your name & it kills me knowing your face is stuck in my head
crying myself to sleep knowing I wish it was me sharing your bed
This was supposed to be my Meant to Be but I guess I’m meant to be free
free from your love, free from your vibes, free from the thought of you & me

Don’t you give up, don’t you give in
Don’t you lose faith, you’re due for a win
No matter the struggle, no matter the fail
Continue to be Great & you shall prevail
The Beginning & End is all in his hands
the trouble along the way, you may not understand
Every day won’t be great, every day won’t be bad
pick yourself up, dust yourself off, & get in your bag
Don’t be overwhelmed by hurt, don’t be let down by pain
learn from your hardships & let it motivate your reign
Your star will shine, your struggle will progress, you will have your time
with God’s grace, you’ll reach the finish line

For the words I can’t say
to make your day
For the way I feel
the feelings I can’t reveal
To see you smile, to see you laugh
to request your hugs but unable to grasp
The sound of your voice that makes me warm
when I’m on your stage, you make my heart perform
My heart sings & you’re the perfect melody
if loving you is such a crime, I’m your smoothest criminal

You’ve been hurt, broken, shattered, & abused
mistreated, left behind, dumped, & misused
Even thru your darkest days, your light shines bright
& even when you feel the weakest you still manage to fight
You are Light & you still glow when you feel so dimmed
you beat yourself down but your inner Queen still appears
The Queen you are isn’t ignored, just takes the perfect one to notice
& you are the Light that shines bright even when you’ve reached your lowest

-Poetic Venom

Every time we meet, I bless you with a kiss
you send me away with the memories reminisced
Through the sunshine or the storm
our love still comes to form
We weather the waves thru the darkness of light
still making the sweetest sound of love even thru the fight
When we rest shoreside & the sunset kisses us
but when the morning wakes us up, we see the sun beautifully miss us
Beautiful, Mysterious, Wild, & Free
the beauty of art & expression with a meaning that flows ocean deep

2018 was one of the most emotional years from me
trying to cope with friends leaving me
Anxiety & depression got the best of me
but still God sees the best in me
I had my brother visit me in my sleep
but I don’t even know what it means
I could see his face but I couldn’t touch em
& it broke me to see em fade away after I tried to hug me
I woke in tears, feeling like I let em down
cause I’m trying to be with him even though it’s not my time go
So much anger & sadness inside of me but no one to express to
with my anxiety tells me “Dre no one cares for you”
So I spend most of my nights pacing back & forth in my room
closing my eyes hoping I’ll get that next phase soon
Mental meds & pain pills lay next to my bed so I contemplate an overdose
but who I am to take myself away from those who love me most
I see that man I’m supposed to be but becoming him is what scares me
cause the person I’m leaving just doesn’t compare to me
Some tell me to go back to my roots but those roots don’t exist me
& the family that I used to know aren’t the same folks to me
Truth is, I’m not happy but I don’t think I ever was
I’m just a sadder version of the person that the old me was
I tell my mom I’m okay cause I can’t tell her I wanna die sometimes
knowing that my heart can’t take seeing her cry
I can’t make her bury her baby boy, I’m supposed to be the soldier
I’m supposed to be the angel bringing us closer
But how can one be the one if the one is shattered
barely hanging on by a thread, feeling life ending faster
I’m a blessing to many but not even a blessing to oneself
loving everyone else more than I could ever love myself
Trying to be everyone’s hero while neglecting myself
Saving everyone else from their storms & slowly killing myself
I lost myself helping others now I’m losing everyone finding myself
I guess when it all boils down, all you ever have is yourself
If crying is the closest thing to Godliness, will it be the key to my happiness?
If I come to terms with my demons, will it cure my paranoia & sleeplessness?
I’m tired of the frustration, tired of the depression
Tired of the struggle, tired of the aggression
Tired of fake smiling, tired of not being to cry
Tired of having all the questions but no one can tell me why
Tell me why I’m eager to fly. Tell me why I’m eager to die
Tell me why I can’t find peace. Tell me why I’m act happy when it’s all a lie
A lot of enemies surround me & I can’t tell who’s actually an ally
I’m losing myself, I can no longer lie
All I ever do is fail, why must I continue to try
My tears will set me free but my pride won’t let it go
