Why do I crave
Your attention
This late at night
All I need
Is your breath
In mine
To stay alive

Lullaby

I was an infant soul.

He came to me in my dreams
as a lullaby only I could sing.

And he watched as I swiftly
rocked myself into a romance

only him and I could sway to.

Im a little low
Im feeling  blue
Im lost for words
When I think of you

Through the forest
And over the hills
When I think of you
It give me chills

I’d move a mountain
I’d run a mile
When I think of you
I remember that smile

When I think of you
I lay in bed
I can not sleep
After what you said
A dreamer,
afflicted with struggle,
unaware of the pain.
Survival is bleak,
yet unconsciously the fight continues.
Within lies the key to the future,
but how can one see the future when you can longer see yourself?
This was a poem I wrote in 2016 when I was lost without direction. I dreamed of a better life at this time, but I couldn't see last the pain of my situation

there's this eerie feeling

that's crawling up my heart

wounding all my healing

forcing me to over start

all the progress made I

seems to be nothing for

don't remember going high

drowning in my mind for sure

my roots keep pulling me down

my branches amputating my growth

family, friends and foes frown

upon this meaningless life's oath

So many poems
and stories
have gone unwritten
due to fear of not being good enough
If I was unbroken
Heart still intact
Maybe this could work
But it's bruised
Bent
And cracked

It's surely closed off
With a lock on the door
That's the only way to protect
What's hidden in it's core

Will reveal a tiny part in time
But my world I dare not show
Not a single step allowed
Into what's harbored down below

After all I have suffered
I won't make the same mistake
If I don't display my soul
There's nothing for anyone to take

i do not believe in god
but i do believe in poetry
and for me
maybe poetry is prayer
and the universe
is an unwavering ear
in the shape of a god

Day
Slumlords sleep
while poor souls weep,
for bills won't meet
And children's feet -
growing and growing and growing.

Pressure's building.
Age not slowing.

I thought it would be calm by now.

But things are worse,
&
To God I curse.

Nothing is going as planned.

I'm trying to look at the positive.

Looking
And
Looking
And
Looking

God, please
Is there a positive?

Heaven rained on me,
I breathed in the petrichor,
Bathed in the downpour.
I have sinned,
So destroy me,
With your rain.
