i feel sick today
not cold chills
or a runny nose
not body aches
or a sore throat

i feel sick today
no not in that way
it's my mind, not my body
that is beginning to stray

i feel sick today
but i can't describe it
it's cloudy for some reason
i don't recognize it

i feel sick today
but tomorrow will be better
this just happens sometimes
i’m sure it won't be forever

Today.
Is going to be ok.
You are going to be ok.
I love you.
Today.

Just biting my tongue
So words will not slip out
Like rock thus
Water gush out
Like a drop of ocean
Upon a mankind

Just shutting my eyes
Wide open
So not to see that child
Cry as if in an oven
Haven seen heaven
We were given
Turned to hell driven

Just closing my ears
With candle's wax
So they won't ask with axe
If I heard the ululation
In the nation
Where lullabies in the days of yore
Is now lamentation for all.

Just crossing my hands
But I can't
'Cos even if I do my pen rants
Like a child who learnt a new
Rhyme, chant.
For that child who in the
Street cry

Even if we can't help,
Lets try
For the river down their cheek
Dry
Even if it is one, try

After a long day,
To have you in my arms,
To kiss your cheek,
To tell you I Love You,
It’s the best of Today
Thinking about my children, Diamond, Chikite and JackJack
Today is cloudy with a chance of Death

Most days I smile,
most days I  rule the world.
most days I let people see me shine
most days I conquer sadness
most days I am a dreamer.
most days I let my mind set sail on my wildest requests.


But not today;
see today I am in a bed of tears,
drowning helplessly in my sorrows.
Today I let the world see my dull eyes and worn down smile.
No see,today I lost to my sadness and it conquered me,
defeated me, today I feel like my heart is six feet under.
Today I dream of better days,
I dream the dark clouds could vanish with a wave of a hand.
Today I dream I didn't hate myself so much.
Today, my mind has gone on a quest to find happiness,true happiness.
Though today its hard, its hard to collect my thoughts when they've only been scattered like breadcrumbs.
Today love feels undeserving.


Maybe my tomorrow will be promising,
or maybe not.
Maybe i'll continue drowning,
losing myself and others around me.
I hope you enjoyed this poem. please share and support.

How do I handle
waking up
with a strong-*** desire
to bleed out in the bathroom?
Imagining my toothbrush
as a weapon,
bleeding gums are the least
of my worries.
Before I leave for work
quickly check
underneath my mouse pad.
Yup, it's still there,
my blade.
I don't need it,
I tell myself
as I start my car today.
Turn on 104.9
and journey on my way.
Passively suicidal mornings have dominated lately. No apparent reason why. I do it to myself you know?

i accept the past
i embrace the future
i live today
fully
fearlessly
without judgement or self-doubt
mindful
that i am both
my yesterday and my tomorrow
Para mi y para ti
De a Marte a escondidas
En la noche
De la Tierra con tus manos
Fabulosa.

Del nunca y dime cuando
Cuando bailas
En los sueños
Pies descalzos.

Cundo cantes en mi alma
Consternada
Tiritando.

De mis manos
Aun de hueso
Que sujetan tu cabello
Como manto.

Ni de ti, ni de mi
Ahora quiero no besarte
Fabulosa.

Solo quiero que me
mires como antes.

Dime ahora, dime nunca
Por qué nunca he dejado
De pensarte.

Cuando el tiempo
Está apunto de borrarte
De mi mente
Para siempre
De ti vuelve
Como flecha mitigante.

Ni de mi, ni de ti
Por que de Marte
A la Tierra
Son millones de kilómetros
A olvidarte...
A.M.
