I dislike my father
I say this after careful reflection and study of him throughout the years
interactions that are vapid and entirely forced that when he asks, “how are you doing?” feels more like an insult rather than a greeting because it’s me that always does the calling and it’s always been that way, getting short changed because the guy just doesn’t know how to reach out unless he wants something and till this day he still half assess it, so I don’t call or bother any more

"Go deep son!"
I run deep for the long one
But there's no one
The ball doesn't come
Now I'm just on the run
A prodigal, no, a wayward unwanted only son
With no distinction of direction between to or from someone
I'd give everything for a destination
I'd give it all for a connection
I'd settle for a distraction
Or even a sliver of affection

Different diminsion
Different Parralell
Different Universe
Im not from here
I was built
The odds defy 8 billion people
All i ask

Believe when God comes knocking

I love you
May we Pray
In Gods name
AMEN
Destiny

If I could only
grasp the wind,
perhaps I'd know
how freedom feels..
And to find it
once again
would take the blisters
off my heels..
For now, I'm lonely -
scratchin' skin
beneath the rags of
where I've been..
Tiptoeing around
a broken mind -
afraid of falling in..

If I could only catch
my breath, perhaps
I'd make my
way back home
And if I could find
you waiting there,
then I'd never
have to roam
For now, I'm tired,
but I keep walking
in search of what
I left behind -
hoping it didn't die
somewhere inside  
my broken mind
Lord help me

wont ever find a man like Z

in the suites like crispy creme,

projects laws from the block,
lil homies fresh out on bail,
ready to promote fear,

******* looking for some glory,
bet they will snitch,

like the game is told,
fame came with gold,
no second place trick,
thats how the code goes,

even if homie gets locked up,
makes you think,
shouldnt have put the body in the trunk,

hit the ****, you know the deal,
its only right B,
im here for you from the beginning,
yall wont ever have a man like Z,

"bring out the best in you, come **** with me,
my destinys your destiny, yall wont ever find a man like Z,

~in the future we will be, together forever its our destinys, yall wont ever find a man like Z,"~

things wont be the same oh my lord i might blow my brains,
let the money rain, theres no more pain, fall in like bootcamp were war fearless, dodging enemy fire, no paid holidays just a lethal business,

by now they hear me, this aint no draw, droppin bodies, barely surviving, come try an stop me youll die fast, because its our hobby,

no test, no heaven descent, i stay prepped with sticks youll die when i squeeze the trigger *****,

looking down on the nation, considering world *******, ive seen people give up like noone loves them,

~"bring out the best in you, come **** with me,
my destinys your destiny, yall wont ever find a man like Z,

in the future we will be, together forever its our destinys, yall wont ever find a man like Z,"~

i pray that you listen, i promise to be there, im hurting so bad, this has to be hell,

at a young age i said father forgive me, confess my sins, so how can i win and not be a victim ? ******* *******, get tossed i died alone,

talk to my homie in prison, till my phone died, i tried, this isnt right/ my boys got 25 to life, back to the drawing board one more time, go die,

~"bring out the best in you, come **** with me,
my destinys your destiny, yall wont ever find a man like Z,

in the future we will be, together forever its our destinys, yall wont ever find a man like Z,"~

Bread of Life seed that dies to be reborn
You shine so bright like the sun in the morn
You blanket the heavens at night with the stars
Divine Physician come heal our scars
We are your people called by your name
By your word I let go of my guilt and shame
Your love reaches the depths of my inmost being
I lay my burdens down at your feet and it is freeing
I place my trust in you and walk across the water
I am but clay in the hands of the master potter
Keeping my eyes fixed on you I will not be afraid and sink
You are the living well from which I drink
In your Spirit my soul is alive and I am living well
You are the healing rain when I am in a dry spell
Come to me and hear me now, meet me here this day
Bless me and look kindly upon me listen while I pray
I cannot feel you near where are you hide not your face
Come now and bathe me in your love and grace
You are my breath my strength and my hope
You are my lifeline a safety rope
I look to you Oh Lord my God I need to see some sign
That you are still there and your hand is still holding mine
Renew me Lord my heart is burdened and heavy
I'm tired of running and fighting and maybe I'm ready
To start coming back so run to me as I come home still far
He'll take you back and hold you close and meet you where you are
Be at peace and come start to heal
Know that I am God and that I am real

Amen
there are sometimes a vast silence between us,
it started as a small divide.
there seems to be a vast ocean separating me from you,
and yet love remains.

no matter how small or how big the space between us,
remember I love you, I am grateful for you, and I forgive you.
Words need not be spoken, but just know that I am always here
ready to embrace you in love to welcome you home.
I was thinking of God's love for a wayward child.

Insurmountable.
Like ocean, where ships set sail.
Prodigal and free.
