Feeling this pressure in my chest.
Heart hurts with no rest
Racing so fast.
I feel it fall apart.
Broken pieces on the floor.
So I try to explore and turn back time and heal what's mine.
Wondering if this can be fixed.
But I guess broken pieces will never stick.

Life has its many high notes –
a song of misery that works on itself,
It’s its own company, inviting anyone
to the party – _misery always invites company_
But the song of a friend’s love
isn’t so loud – it’s __soft, reassuring,__
something to count on, to help you recall
your worth – even if all you need _is their company_.

but,
I think it's a brave thing to do,
when you start something new.
allowing the past to assist/not lead,
admitting you're not the best/ but trying to be,
therein lies true strength/ authentic humility.
not to disrespect/ just to overcome,
the need for perfection/ the rush to get it done.
because in poetry we can say it,
in any which way we want.

my dear,
did you happen to know,
the mountains don't stare at the trees,
only the birds do so,
the oceans do not wait for rivers to flow,
before making waves out of ways the wind blows.

So fight the feeling//
& hide your tears
it'll all be over
in 100 years//

Rest?
Where?
Who?
With her,
but she's not there.

I woke with too much purpose this morning.
I swear it was me
who split the dark sky open
like pointed steel through wood.
The sharp hack of existence hit
when I visualized my wallet
on the kitchen counter,
leaning against that vase
with the snake on it.
Second in line
at the grocery store,
cart overflowing.

The sun doesn't choose
who to shine on.
It just Shines.

self-deception gets
stronger, as i get older -
not any better.

I grew up in a family
Where there was more
questions than outcomes.
The pain numbing me
for a change to come
Learning from the gist of things.
I still feel from all my learning
I am not the brightest but far from dumb
I am not going to fail my son
Trials in traveling
I am facing everything
I am in need to become.
They pray and they plot
My soul will not rot
I am going to the top
Sit back and watch.
Get in the way. Get dropped.
Albums coming in stock.
Stories will hit the block.
Don't test me. I lost a lot.
None of it's fake it's no mirage.
Mirror me back, and blend in
without camouflage
I go hard as Smith
You will get Rocked.
I will steal my own life
before you take all I got
Nah I never stop.
Never feared any op
You over here looking lost.
Fools think I'm soft.
You just full of talk
You wanna go with me?
We gonna run through roadblocks.
You ain't ready to walk
Don't make yourself a mark.
I'm silent as the dark.
Quarrels with my absent counterpart.
Obliterate. I am shattering
your mind from a far.
I burn with the shine of a star.
I got the key for you
if you lacking the heart.
Reminder to my child
make the moves that are smart!
Real talk.

My love is a Wednesday morning
His love is a hug from small hands
But you can't hug a day
And small hands can't cook breakfast

Fish needs to be frozen
maintaining its freshness.
To defrost will make it rot.
The same as with feelings.
