SHe said.."Hey!..Where are we going?"
I said" We already there"..
Just open your eyes and follow the instinct of your heart
This is the start we both were looking for
Even if we dont know where we are
Hold on to ecstasy..we both belong together

i just wanna wake up each day feeling peaceful
I present myself to the world with a fake grin
Inside its hurting..
Living in the past is so exhausting
Im getting older...its never stopping

Can anybody out there hear me
Im done running
All im looking for is a like minded girl
Who loves words as much as i do
ANd will love to share the tranquility of poetry
Together
Love isnt easy..it never was..thats why its called love
But im willing to give my best and love a woman more than i love myself..
Just a valentines day humdinger

Life is a hard puzzle
Its always gonna be a struggle
I wish you were in an idyllic place to be ... without any worries or pain,
If you're too afraid to speak or let it out
Let your heart beat instead..
It is okay to feel empty sometimes
Physical pain doesn't even come close
To the type of pain you've been through
As our lives ares slowly drifting
i just wanna say im glad you pulled through
You're very strong
This is dedicated to a friend of mine whos been through a lot of pain..shes   blessed and god gifted and its been a privilege knowing her..im sure she'll do amazing things one day and be proud of herself

i was young and naive,full of emotional turmoil
I'm playing tough guy, I won't cry! Really internally I'm about to burst.
Time has flown past so fast when did I become this man?
Scared as hell and coudnt tell ya what's bout to come next
But I know you were there with me from dusk till dawn
Thank ya for never quitting, giving up on me.
I promise to fulfill your purpose
If wasn't for your gifts, there would be no glow on me.

I told myself I wouldn't breakdown in  verse
But it's hard to walk away from the one place you'd always go first
Leaving at all the memories, **** that's the worst
I know we dont talk much..but when we do..it feels great
Thank you Jesus...I can finally feel my life has started to change
Took me out of the dark and let me see the brand new me
Never give up when you're down, you can get back up.
That's all i needed to hear from you

I'm gonna let go of the past break the mold of this cast
you gave me the heart of a poet,so easily shattered by your touch,
Be careful what you hold on to, Because it just might be too much,
As it drips from your hand, Piece by piece,
Never knowing where it will land,Never having any peace.
Cause Jesus is the man..and he was born to be the light
To cast away all our troubles far beyond our sight..
God has helped me overcome a lot of stuff i dont even like thinking about ..so this is just my way of saying thanks man...i know youve got my back

My thoughts do not speak
Nor do they have a voice of their own
The words are on my lips
but fall away like water beneath ships
Under a rug my emotions have been swept,
On many moonless nights i have wept
I succumb to shameful acts of self fufillment
Trapped In a dark world of unfulfilled expectations
Tell me ,What's the difference between morality and reality
Can one truly comprehend the teachings of society
Is it possible to abide laws and still be able to see
For in a faithless world, one longs to believe.
All my emotions are colliding as i write this..
my ideas have fallen through, my glass still half empty.

I look you in the eye ,believe me,I can hear you all sigh.
I know that you don't get me, i know that you don't see.
Maybe,I shouldn't speak,maybe you think I'm a freak.
There's so much I could voice, many things you should know
But each time the words begin to leave ,
My heart whisper's that I should go
There's so much I could share ,but is this really the place?
If only my thoughts could speak for itself..
They would echo across this hall
So lets just stop pretending, every moment is never ending...
my feelings are hidden, cast away from light,
without a voice to feed them , they recoil beyond my sight.
What happens under darkness shall come to light
Isnt it a little ironic,
Cause im standing here speaking about the unspoken..
Im leaving with my feelings unsaid..
As silence will echo my voiceless thoughts.
i wrote this for a slam poetry comp..

I take a step outside my door,
I can feel my spine chilling, my jaw tightly shut..
My fingers buried deep inside my palms,
I can smell the dampness of the ground
As i walk with a delirium in my mind on a sober January night..

Why do we fail to see the beauty that surrounds us everywhere?
Why cant’ you feel the joy in all the small things people share?
We all deserve to move ahead,yet why are we held back?
A charmed smile hides much more than we could see.
You fail to hear cause you never listened
Must i be scrutinized always for being myself
Truth hurts but pain is an old friend...
Please don’t disregard the guilt or forget about shame
These two big players are leaders of the game..
Amidst all this chaos and fury of rage,
I wonder..
Should i crawl back into darkness and swallow my pride..
Lingered memories caress my mind

What happened after that is irrelevant at best..
All I will say is that I was nothing but stressed
I know now that I hold so much more worth
And I love myself more than anyone ever could..
Just know that these words have come straight from my heart
Im trying to make this a poem so it seems like some kind of art..
just remember..no matter how bad those memories were
You can never restart or relive them,
But can always learn and try not to repeat them..
Thing may not seem going your way now
But soon there will come a time
When you'll be laughing back at your problems..
The fact that you're alive is a cause for celebration..
SO lets not waste it on petty problems
Should you ever need a shoulder, please find me.
I hear a voice which seems familiar as i come back home..
True beauty is within, layered under sin
Hold me tightly in your thoughts and I will hold you in my heart.
#thereforyou #loveyourself i hope im able to touch a readers mind and heart through this piece..im not perfect..im perfectly imperfect..

All i seek is some serenity,
You think you relate,
But i truly doubt it..
I'm past all my darkest days
All that anger in me bottled up,
Finally got a catharsis...
Don't be so *****..
Just ask yourself..
Why do you let others outlive you?
You are unique and different..
No reason to be feel ashamed..
Why are relationships so complicated nowadays..
Has Lust suppressed Love..?
All i seek is some serenity..
Is it too much to ask?
well..do comment if you like it ..
