He looked in the mirror, a who new personal his reflection. He lost 76 pounds due to his cirrhosis. Staying sober but always hungry not able to eat watching his sodium intake.
The diet helped with his health. Did all the LA requirements then passed off to Mayo Clinic. Now he's waiting for the call so that he could get the transplant recieve a new liver.
Waiting was driving him crazy, he gave it to God. The waiting process drove him crazy. He grew impatient trying to maintain his frustration. He couldn't hide it you could see the anger and his emotions became frantic within.
Watching what he ate, feeling limited some days his body was strong other days he felt weak. Working because he was able to do so. While others collect money to be home. He needed to be doing something or he'd go crazy thinking about it.
His eyes yellow they became the new norm. His hair wasn't full he hoped after the procedure it might grow back fully. Writing about this encounter, the experience. hoping others would understand.
He was always an outcast or socially awkward at he wanted was to be normal. Everything he did was outside of the box. He'd rather be on the outside looking in than boxed in being on the inside and miserable.

An emotional eater because it hasn't happened yet
Worried how long and when it's going to happen
Sad because everything was going
Now it's just at a stand still
Feeling stuck while waiting
Looked in the mirror
Someone new mentally overwhelmed
Skin is dark with jaundice
Brown eyes with yellow tint
Praying for change a miracle
Once argue now walking away
Prayed for them I don't owe them
And they don't own me
Enjoy your unwelcoming home
Told to bring food no generic brands
So much for hospitality
Would rather be outside than take off shoes to be in the carpet
Infamous one Sep 2023
friends come and go like the seasons
some I miss, but pride and ego
keeps us divided rather than talking it out
mistakes were made, and apologizes were not accepted
good times are over, but not forgotten
losing a friend while holding a grudge
never going to see them again
friendships ended for relationships
couples become partners start a family
I wish you nothing but the best
the fork in the road
takes up to different places
some on borrowed time with health issues
others in the struggle trying to get by
life's a ride make the most of it
doing what's right from the heart
don't care about being right
moving onto the next chapter
doing it alone staying strong
make the most of things with what you got

Things are not always what they appear
That loving couple caught in an argument
Friends bad mouthing another to others
A positive mind with personal struggle
Silent during the internal battle
Loud toxic people making problems
The intense silent use to fear it
Now relaxed and embrace it in
Grandma said no one's going to do it for you
It was the flame that got the fire started
Writing to clear the mind not stressing
On borrowed time losing patients
Waiting for a transplant
Hard working compared to before
Proving himself everyday
While others fail to try
Flirting with life and death
Now just trying to love
Have a heart do what's right
Tired of being closed off
Feeling isolated misunderstood
Infamous one Sep 2023
If I could change the past I would
So much pain over the years
Dividing everyone that use to be close
The death of a brother causing trauma
Watching the burial changes a person
Our friend died in a tragic bus accident
Wish this pride didn't keep us apart
These angry egos causing separation
Not invited to the wedding feeling excluded
United the singles making them a couple
A relationship to a family wish the best
Friends to strangers now divided
Once was close no longer the same

Taking on the world is not the way
Face things that linger
In the back of your mind
Find closure in unfinished projects
Do the things that have been put on hold
Clear your mind from others insanity
Take a time out to compose your sanity
Breath in the refreshing silence
A fresh night ends in a calm pace
After a murky exhausting long day
Earning every dollar and cent at work
Head down plowing through till the end
Soothing your efforts deserved rest
Clear the mind let the body relax

Having those uncomfortable conversations
Asking those questions that need answers
Be the solution not point out the problem
Do the work be the guy who does it
Don't leave it for the next guy
Take pride in your self and work
Stop being influenced by the negative majority
Stop empowering people who do nothing
Listen to your heart do what's right
No longer associate with toxic behavior
A sober life not around the scene anymore
Friends Stop calling and ignore your decision
Respect how they chose to be the same
Walked away from bad relationships
Going back is not an option
Had those thoughts reflected through writing
Not welcoming back the cheater
Not accepting lies from the liar
If you have to alter yourself that's not your crowd
Raise your voice to be heard those are not your people
Fighting for your spot just walk away
Know your worth and value yourself
