What can I say about the man who's taught me a lot
the one person apart of his life that he forgot
someone that needed him the most
but his presence forever remains a ghost
& for the longest time, I've hated you for leaving
the last thing you told me is that you loved & I believed you
If there's anything you taught me the most, never be like you
never create a blessing but toss it aside like you
so for you dad, this is my fathers day thanks
to the Father I never had but always wanted
who's love failed to accept me & the memories forever haunt me
but I forgive you for walking away, I understand now
that it's more about you than it ever was about me
thanks for making my mom struggle to raise me
just off lousy child support that was $80/ week
Happy Father's Day, I became a man without you

There’s beauty in poetry if used the right way
it creates many emotions that you never existed
Picture it as an artist painting a canvas
only a paper is the canvas & words are the paintbrush
the ability to use words to collide imaginations with reality
it’s music without a beat or a rhythm
Give a poet an idea, a paper, & a pen then watch them create
That’s the Beauty in Poetry

You feel lost & confused
been hurt & abused
cheated on & misused
built to win but only seem to lose
You’ve been left & replaced
lack of confidence & drowning in self hate
cried too many tears
still living in fear

You wish to be someone else
you can’t stand to look at yourself
too many times you’ve placed on the shelf
feeling incomplete & always questioning yourself
You’ve never been loved the right way but trust
you were made the way you are for a reason
& you’re unique, you just need to believe it
but all in all, there’s one thing you should know
You Are Enough

Self conscious
broken heart
waterfall tears
soul torn apart

Self esteem low
verge of quitting
tired of being tired
tears speak but all fail to listen

All claims sound the same
same clowns, same game
fake smiles, pretend to be okay
Too many Crying Queens
too many tears been washed away
- Poetic Venom
There’s this world within mind
that I roam in from time to time
searching for any sign
that you’ll be mine

As I Make This Wish

Here you stand right before me
tears falling within my palm
as my heart writes the song
the perfect love story for me

As I Make This Wish

I pray to God above
that this woman to be
is just for me
& forever I’ll be
loyal to thee

If you’re shattered & torn
bring me the pieces that remain
If your cries have drowned you
bring me the tears inspired by pain
For the troubles & sleepless nights
let me create the peace
so you’ll can finally rest
no more fighting with the sheets
If all these & more I should save
I’ll be sure to make you whole again

- Poetic Venom
For years you’ve been dancing to the wrong beat

trying to a win something that’s designed for your defeat

& I know you’re fed up but I ask if there’s a chance

for me or the right one to get that last rightful dance

For your heart, for your soul, & for you to say I Do

my promise is a guarantee, that one shot will be magical
