pencasso

pray for me
I’ve been happy for the past few months
though I’m not where I need to be
I progress to better me

so pray for me
for the man I see
is who I strive to be
a better, happier, & healthier
me

pencasso

the drugs we take
to numb the pain
of yesterday
we hate the chase
but some things
we can’t replace

follow the lust
but in none we trust
for lovers or for a crush
the feeling is a must
either fall in love
or become heart breakers

and who i am to wanna judge
how we choose to self destruct
want righteous but too corrupt
I sip a bit but don’t touch the blunt
all in all, we still stand in line
for a slice of the devil’s pie

love didn’t hurt me

loving the wrong people
hurt me

pencasso

when i lost within depression
when suicide was the answer
when explaining myself was a fear
when there were no razors near
when alcohol was too much to handle
when my fist couldn’t punch another wall
& when i couldn’t cry anymore

in the midst of the storm
in the middle of dark times
all hope seemed gone
no one there to hear the screams
nothing to mute the voices
of destruction

i picked up a pen & there was my source
a key to my freedom
they say words mean a lot
i can solely agree
all thanks to my hero
poetry forever saved my life

im not
Heartless

i just use my
Heart less

i admire your from afar

from your eyes to your
smile

that one rare shining
star

& you haven’t smiled
in a while

around you I’m nervous
& quiet

when you’re away, I’m all
heart eyes

but the smile you see, you
inspire it

& i only desire to bring out
the smile you try so hard to
disguise

single mother raised

no interest in school

the street life in my view

fast money & respect

the world i thought i knew

almost a high school dropout

but here i am, years later

a blessing to many

respected & motivated

to motivate my brothers
to be kings

growth & prosperity

as i continue to be a better me

i am king
