You sneak up on me
Grab my waist tightly
Hold me in your arms;
Crush me.

This isn't beautiful
Or romantic
It's broken, it's faulty;
A slippery *****
And I'm falling

This time though
I know.
I see the signs
I paved the way
I'll just keep pushing
Toward another day;
For you will not stay.
Winter blues I suppose

i never thought id be
here
happier
recovered
healthier
there are still days when i
reconsider
become fearful
make mistakes
but i promised myself
id never go back
to then.
recovery is hard but forever worth it

Dancing with myself
Twirling and dipping
Stepping and twisting
Leaping and falling
Swirling about like a snake wrapped up
Writhing, worrying, wringing
******* like a knot, too tight to loose
Hoping to pop before the noose
All in one moment, I hear the music
It stops me, and I absolve

As the Earth turns,
Does the sun rise?
I pray this world is more than a trick on my eyes.
And when it sets,
Is it really out?
Will my life do the same when it's my turn to bout?
I'll find a way to rotate and spin, start again and begin.

Ya'll play around
Ya'll play around
Play around get smoked!
Might put you down
and show you how
I conquer as a goat! (WHOA!)
Don't be a sitting duck,  don't get f* up.
Nip-tucked, get dumbstruck, just hold yo ground
I got your back and stay ready to reload!
Everyone's not your friend but that's okay
don't let them ruin your mode!

Don't PLAY AROUND WITH ME.
Limits come with all that's free expect a fee
They are constantly after my energy
I have a lot of fire in my inner me
I'm no saint, no sinner although sin living in me
I have an arsenal words that hit harder than hennessy!
but they want to destroy every bit of thee but I am not enemy.
When I'm gone, promise they will remember me.

Remember me...
Cursing my essence will not aid your hustle
We all compacted in our own bubble
Feeding the system living off our struggle
While I can, I am making moves
might as well be moving weight with these muscles.
Triple threats hitting me at all angles
**** got me seeing things in doubles
Through it all, I will remain humble
Get on the road. Let's ride. Let's go!

I can disappear like your favorite celebrity going ghost
Hating on me  will not give you faith or strengthen your growth
My emotions been riding through highs and lows
In the waves, I find myself a float as I coast to coast.
Dust to Ash, it all ends if I burn it all. Before I reward the
world with the grace I bring.
For anything, I put that on everything. You all mean everything!
I deserve no God's forgiveness, I'm simply existing
I cannot explain what I been feeling, I know need more than self healing....
I’m sick of the sads,
The come and go blues,
Tired of depression,
It’s becoming old news.

I’ve got the melancholy
Lodged deep in my bones.
It follows me everywhere,
So I hide all alone.

I’m exhausted of existence
That demands my great strength.
I’m out of ignition
And my apathy stretches at length.

This pattern starts at the beginning of October.
It stays through the winter,
I am like the weather,
Cold, gray, and bitter.

I’m sick of the sads,
These come and go blues,
The yearly cycle of moods,
I keep falling for the ruse.

I am sick of the sads,
Tired of depression,
Clinging to my sanity
Through its brutal oppression.

I am sick of the sads
That make it difficult to respire.
I pray for the end,
Lest my body simply expire.

The come and go blues
Have ruined my desire
For anything else.
I am consumed by my internal Hell’s fire.

I am sick of the sads,
These come and go blues.
By the time spring arrives,
I’ll be battered and bruised.

I’m sick of the sads.
Someone liberate me.
Send help on high horses,
Or sad is all I will be.

There are brief, shining moments
When I exist only for
Myself
When my words aren’t rearranged for anyone’s comfort
And my face isn’t composed for anyone’s enjoyment
And my body is just
My own

I have never belonged to myself

I grew up passed from
Judgment to judgment
Eyes raking me at every turn
So I would sit
Every day
In front of the mirror
And pick myself apart for the world’s consumption

Everyone has always taken what they wanted

I have driven myself insane
Trying to keep fragments of my own
To just hold on to the feeling of being mine
But I have never known how to be that way
And I will give everything I have
Until I have nothing

I am no longer afraid of the night
Or of death
For I have danced across the stepping stones
In darkness
And not fallen in.
