pencasso

In my room late at night
I’m constantly in a fight
in the middle between my head & my heart
convincing my heart that it’s worthy
& my head not to go off the deep end
what would my family do if I’m no longer around
if I take myself out due to stress from the demons I’m around
you see me smile endlessly but you never ask if I’m okay
or why I choose to sleep just to avoid seeing the day
up all night, intoxicated off liquor & caffeine
& I promised myself that I wouldn’t become a 2nd time fiend
but I became way worse than my own nightmare
I don’t even talk anymore, just a ****** that catches a stare
when I remain silent & refuse to socialize
but you don’t get how I see the devil in so many eyes
I’m either hallucinating or just traumatized from the past
thinking one day he just might just try to **** my ***
then my heart tells me “Don’t open me up to anyone else
I’ve been abused too much to love anyone else
you let the last one get a taste, I ain’t been the same since
& the new one wants me so bad but I’m playing hard defense
one more let down, I promise you it’ll be the end of it all
I’ll make sure you’ll get an early date when your life falls
I can’t take it no more, I’m on the verge of saying goodbye
if it means getting the love from above & we go live in the sky”

been to the bottom of the bottle
digested countless of pills
battled with the voices in my head
on the verge of life & death
& through the hell, still I rise
above all
I Am a Survivor

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

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
