if you want to find yourself
where do you start?

what's the secret?
to finding peace
and inner wisdom?

is there a special way
to get my life in motion?

a path or a road to walk
on?

should I just run into
a forest
maybe sail away
and float adrift

then will I find it?

will I wake up one day
and find I have saved face?
fit into place?
discovered the missing puzzle
piece

realize it was all in my
head// my dreams

am I supposed to wait?
to add another link
to the chain?

will I sit idle for ideas
to create themselves
in my brain?

there has to be
some kind of moment
when you experience
it all in a flash

except then is it gone?
I want to find myself
be the clarity in chaos

but I am lost
I am wandering within
contemplating where it is
I should begin...

there are limitless
possibilities
hanging right before me

my eyes see the fiery
opportunities
in the darkness of our lives
I can envision a sunrise

I want to breakdown
buildings and shopping malls
of our ancestors
who were forced to build them

use my fists as power
and rebuild some parks
a library or something

I want to tread upon fresh
soil
let my shoes sink in dirt
breathe in a path or trail
if I could

I want to hear the birds chirping
not machines and car engines
working
want to listen to nature
running on itself

I want to have touched tasted and felt
change

I'm living in an age of
technology
if we just shut off our phones
and realize our minds hold the key

we can set our spirits
free
with these limitless
possibilities

"I love you to death,"
he said.



"I love you for life,"
she replied.

SLAM..
SLAM down the words
like the slap of your hand
upon a countertop

SPEAK the utterances
of your broken heart
to souls of hip hop

SLAM that anger
with the fistful of furious syllables

SCREAM your defiance to the world indifferent
innocent and ignorant

SLAM down tequila shots
one, two, three,
redefining absolute clarity

SLAM your pride and dignity

SLAM your locked up pain
break the lock unleash the insane

SLAM the gates of heaven
and the depths of hell

SLAM ME into absolute stupidity with your words
jack lines
jack verbs
herd the unheard

SLAM

we still love you
after all of this time.
we stand up for you because you are
more than your
race, gender or sexuality.
theres so much more that defines you
you are an artist
you are an achiever
a sole believer in making wrongs right
you are so much more than a label...
you are uniquely you.
tried and true, and this is why,
we still love you...

gravity is ******* me in
days or years
I don't know how long it's been
I am collapsing

inside of an abyss
swallowed by darkness
hollow sounds and black holes

the center cannot hold.
