I bit open a lie and it tasted like you.

you are not in control anymore
i am taking hold of my life today
i am so tired of being used and hurt
so i am living my life my own way

its wrong to hope that you fail
i won't lie and say I hope you do well
you should have treated me far better
and never told me to go to hell

i lack the power to hurt you more
than how badly you wounded me
but saying this final *******
i think might just set me free

we only feel so empty
because we left
little pieces of ourselves
in everything that
we once loved;
once lost.

To every single person
Who feels as though they are broken
Shattered, shards, scattered across
Corrupted pasts,
You will be okay.

I know there are scars deep within your soul,
Lacerated across your heart
And potentially upon your skin
I know there is regret, and blame,
Disappointment and shame
Burning fires within.
Let them go.

You are beautiful,
At 3 in the morning when you’re curled up
In your sheets, your pillow
Saturated in yesterdays regrets.

You have endured journeys
Others could never even fathom
You shall blaze trails others
Could never even imagine.

Pain does not define you,
Society shall not confine you.


Don’t you forget, lose sight of or regret
That just because you can’t see the stars
It doesn't mean they're not shining.

The Devil asked me
Sell your soul
For the love of your life

And I laughed as I replied
*Maybe if I had it
But she already stole it

Don't approach a dog unknown to you
Holding out your hand, making eye contact
You may frighten him
Let him come to you

Don't write a poem uninspired
It won't work out
In good time
Let it come to you

Don't go out there seeking love
Like a child with a butterfly net
Live your life
Let it come to you

Goodbye Swish

I remember the first shot.
It was one of those silly bank shots.
Right on the corner,
From my favorite spot.

My first real shot.

I remember the game.
It was one of those movie-like games.
All *******,
and a buzzer beater take.
The best kind to make.

I remember the jersey.
It was one of those real baggy jerseys.
Number on the back,
and the matching shorts.
Playing on the bigger court.

And I remember the shot.
It was one of those three point shots.
I knew it was my last one,
So I had one last wish.
I watched that shot go in with a swish.

It fell through the basket,
all scooped by the net.
And I finally realized,
that this was the end.

The endless crowds and shoes and shows.

But tonight was the final of five good years.

and I watched the door

close.
It's been good. I'll miss you basketball.
