The love we had, the love we shared
many envied it but none compared
The thoughts that came to mind
The light we led to shine
The memories we created from the love that faded
Passion, Pain, & Pleasure, the theme for our every night
after the tears caused from petty fights
2 torn souls colliding at the wrong time
with the perfect love that’ll never reach its prime
Happiness came to play whenever we were apart
trying to become one but we never knew where to start
No love greater than treasures
No feeling deeper than oceans
Just 2 hearts awaiting yet to be awoken
Our happiness was complete as we went our separate ways
as the sun wishes us good morning ahead of our sunny days
while the dark clouds produces sadness for our rainy days
We’re whole not being one, we’re just meant to be that way

This year I thought of what I wanted for Christmas
a few things came to mind but it’s too important for a list
If I had my way, I’d bring the troops home to spend time with family
Give the homeless something to keep hope alive rather than suffering from tragedy
The things I’ve prayed for, money could never afford
I gift blessings & prosperity to others, I do this in request for no reward
I pray for Peace, I pray for Love, I pray for Unity, I pray for a better society
where everywhere is peace & horror is no longer a part of our reality
All I Want for Christmas is Change, All I Want for Christmas is Joy to All

If I was stripped of everything I had except for you
that’ll be all I need, the only thing keeping me sane is you
With so much darkness in my world, baby you are that light
no need to fear when it comes to loving you for there is no price
Feel pain no more, fear me not
cause I can do without many things but you, I cannot
Hold on tight & don’t let go
for this love has the potential to grow
I’m a man of many mistakes but meeting you was a test
to see if I’d ruin a good thing before I could see if it’s blessed
I found all I needed the day your world collided into mine
& that’s the only thing I’ll ever need Until the End of Time

I came a long way to let the negativity stop me
I gotta keep pushing no matter how many may doubt me
I’ve been counted out since the day I was born
now here I am telling the story of a young man scorn
Never had a father figure, just me & my mom
& watched her struggled for us to eat with these dead end jobs
Been going strong for 14 years although I took it for granted
doubted myself & fell for the evil vibes I attracted
I’m saving lives with my words but the world ain’t heard of me
from Canada, the UK, China, Japan, & even Germany
You ain’t promised to be big when you come from my home
you either settle for fast food, construction, or wasting life at home
If I gave it all up, I give up on those that look up to me
the self harmed burdened angels who quit cutting because of me
To many I’m worthless, but to a few I’m referred to as a hero
the one they ran to when their tears needed a pillow
It’s a blessing to be a blessing & it’s amazing to see
how I’ve achieved my main dream without being famous, God’s just using me

Today marks a milestone for me. I started writing poetry when I was 9 years old but never would I have ever imagined that I'd be able to write approximately 1,015 poems to date. It's crazy how I find inspiration from various places, able to write from many different perspectives, & able to speak for those who can't find their own voice. My poems don't just represent me, they represent the people who inspire me, the people who experience mental health issues, & those who've gone through the worst in life. Never thought I'd get to this point but I'm proud of myself. Such an accomplished to close 2018 out.

I have a message for you but it’s really nothing new
just trying to paint a picture from my view
of a picture perfect canvas & what i see is true
Not intended for who you call pretty but for girls like you
who question why any man would pursue
their world when there’s others better than you
but fail to see that they don’t have the same qualities of you
To make a long story short, the term ugly is all you
but the true meaning is Under Greatness Lies You

When the night stays awake, I’m usually lost within my mind
trying to place things together & living in the past of time
Thinking about my mistakes wishing I could go back
to redo my actions all over again cause I know karma comes back
full force & that effect weighs heavy on my mental
but reading minds or emotions isn’t exactly fundamental
I toss & turn in my bed getting up every 5 minutes to clear my head
with my music blasting thru the air & my phone full of messages unread
because I get into my feelings then write my emotions in my diary
then send em off to those who either motivated or inspired me
I’m more haunted by my thoughts & I’m running away from regrets
pacing back & forth giving thanks to God whenever I feel blessed
When the night stays awake, the morning tends to snooze longer
but I’m so eager for the next chapter so I become a stalker
Sleep can’t find me, my thoughts keep me hidden within my matrix
causing my anxiety to rush when my mind tends to play tricks
