Happy Fathers day to those that celebrate
I've been preserving the day I'll one day
Demonstrate as a Father in cellophane
To keep it fresh
No dad around so my Mom gets a double check
year round for being everything I never had
The walk is long, but my drink is iced
Drowning to the hands of my own device
With time to **** on my walk tonight
I hope my music blocks out the light
A lifetime of wandering and no path to follow
My inner self I seem to swallow
Rain on his finger tips would  imbue a life of prosperity beyond the reach of every drop
Hmm
Hmm
We were taught but how come we never leaned?
Right from wrong, both the same?
Under special circumstances?
Hmm
Hmm
There's no one out here influencing me
And the people I look up to
I dont even see
Hold your head high soldier it's not over yet
Our journey is just begun so embrace the ****
And I'll keep this smile on my heart
Because web you start to doubt and start to think
Is when this ship will begin to sink
Sturdy out minds needed only necessary
Thinking traps are our adversary
We can make it through this endless endeavor
One day at a time instead of forever
Heart on a pedestal, a prize, someone's claim to fame
So high up, it beats no ones name
I throw my own at it, yours beats to another drum
I want to hold it so close, too high to reach
On display like the sword in the stone
Could I be the chosen one?
Could we be and make history?
Weaponized in the face of hopelessness
No better than rolling the dice
Not an excuse when you don't know the answer
Something we give when we dont have the heart to crush the ones we love
A placebo, not a drug
We still hope it works and take it anyway
I use to be afraid I'd never amount to nothing
Now I'm only thinking about how I'm gonna be something
Someday somewhere at some point in time
Looking over all my mistakes
showing how I made it
from all my problems to all my solutions
Call this a new age revolution
Your past don't shape your future
You do
And the only way to make it happen is to get out there
and do you
Tell ya good friends to get outcha way
Today is your day, your time, your moment to shine
Ain't no one gonna stop me when I'm bout to drop this rhyme
Thinking in my head is what I do best and you can't mess with me anymore
Cuz I ain't need you never did never will
I rhyme not for the enjoyment but for the thrill
Are you willing to take but not give?
100% perspective
Can you give and not expect anything in return
Respect among favors and friendship earned
Show me the level of your appreciation
An even 50/50 split reciprocation
Talk the walls down and drought the moat of emotion
First glance at the airport a mini mouse
Meeting up to take me back to the town house
Feels like we've been friends for way too long
Aimless laughing and much to come
A sweet girl much love to give
A kindred spirit I've yet to see live
Living it up in the dead of night
Never argue or even fight
One good time after the next
Even spending time with your soon to be ex
I hope I didn't take it too far
But it's okay I promise you this
I'll be sure to see you in the near future
You taught me friends come in all shapes and sizes
And even strangers are full of surprises
I wish we spent more time I do
Just over zealous me and itty bitty you
You're set to burn I can't see you like this
You'll never learn until it's too late
The look in your eyes set my soul a blaze
Reminded me of the better days
I can't catch fire with you again
Because of you I'm burning from top to end
Dormant was my love like a bear waiting for the right time to emerge from a slump like slumber
Awakened at the sight, smell, and touch of your presence
Not enough time to dream of a love so perfect is what my heart tells me
I hold your heart to mine, I treat it as my own
Let it beat, let it beat, let it beat when I come near
I'll be the one to wake your love when the time comes
The world is on fire
Flames rising higher
No room for breathing
I'm dying this evening
I think love is easier than most make it out to be
It's not about doing fun things all the time
It's about having the courage to lend half your heart to someone to see
To look at your faults but to also look past them
Careful as love is as fragile as glass
After all half a heart can only last
If the other heart gives back as much as yours
But a heart made of glass can only be broken
If true feelings and actions remain unspoken
I smile for the world to see
There is always someone who can make you happy
It's someone you know better than yourself...or even the same
It was always you smile because I knew
That special person inside of you, yeah I do
Your body smiled at me but your eyes wouldn't let you gander
Afraid you may have to ask for directions
You were lost but you have to to be found
Music a tad too loud not for all to hear
But for me to share, I want you to listen
Not see what I see but feel what I feel, it's real
It's all easy just go with the flow
A river couldn't do a better job if you feel me
No application necessary just enjoy what comes our way
Happy tomorrow because I'm happy today
be sure to check out the rest of my work please and thank you, also editing a lot of my past work check the revamped sections
In this cup was victory
A hard days work
A penny earned
Blanket of security
Camp fire type effect
Ready to rough it
Kick back an enjoy the sounds of nature
Connected like 4, diagonally is how I see
You sitting down the ways from me
You copped a look, pretty sneaky "sis"
Text message, and that look is gone
Attention averted confrontation deserted just no chance
That cursed little machine
Has us all bent out by the seams
Claim we can't live without it
I don't get it, what's the appeal
Words with a background but nothing to feel
No emotion or gestures with some sort of physical appeal, man, what is real
So addicted to this easy living
We forgot where our bodies and mind exist
In this world of technology we are all hurting but firstly inadvertently doomed for eternity
Life's not fair, never was, never will be
Choose your opponent choose your difficulty
There's a reason for easy medium and hard
To test the waters, then break the limits
Or be beaten by life's tedious gimmicks
These tired eyes have closed
To dream of better days, better times
"One day I will get out of this god forsaken place"
Too many times I've had egg on my face
I've always been lost in reality but the gravity is much worse
No choice or chance for me to grab, we can't all be winner eh?
In my head is the safest, come take shelter
For reality comes knocking with much more than harsh words
Choices to make no time to waste
Time to get out of this god forsaken place
Off to the land in my head safer than a fallout zone
No trouble in sight, in my head...all alone
I'm so tired, with nothing more to say I am going to hit the hay...yea I went there
Days like this ill look in the mirror to see if I'm alive
Days gone by I manage to survive
The words of a contemptuous society
Watch them cause erosion to our souls
Making other people mad today can be someone's goal?
In a world where we breed victims and encourage making others feel less inside
Have you looked in the mirror to see if you're alive?
Round and round here goes nothing
I sent myself on a journey for something
They say kick your legs and paddle your arms
I thought this would be easier
I feel like I've been drowning for years
In the vast space that is my mind
Thoughts fill my lungs like fluid
But why do I keep opening my mouth?
Now I pay the price, my thoughts submerge me
I reach for help, with a snap, they desert me
I think too much, and the flood gates are open
But my thoughts remained kept to myself
Unable to float, I'm sinking again
Not sure this is how I wanted to say all this, but my fingers did the thinking for me on it so here you have it!
We can live forever
It's only a matter of time
What you do with it and what you don't
Handle with care, poke holes to breathe
Time waits for no man child or woman but carries on for all
I want to do it all live my life like a boss
By the time it's over, if you never heard of me it's your loss
Im
This isn't my eviction notice because I've paid the rent
I'm finally back from all the time I've spent
Wishing I would and and thinking I'd never write again
This is my official statement
Reading: "I'll never put down the pen."
That being said I'm here to write my wrongs and everything along the way
This isn't anything fancy, but starting today
Here is my proof that I mean what I say
Eyes sewn shut you could see right through me
A plastic  smile easily replaceable
Magnetic eyes I could t look away
Infectious laughter and a heart to die for
I to a dive and still no where to hide
To my surprise
Even through my ruse and deceit
I was still found and standing on my feet
Knew who I was didn't bother to run
She whispered with no remorse to say
You're the one
We all take chances
some more than others
We all want what's bad for us
candy, drugs, a lover(s)

Why do opposites attract?
Why must good always find bad?
To help? To stop? To change?
Why must we always want what we wish we had?

Isn't it easier to take what is within our grasp?
Would we stoop so low to get a free pass?
Would a little hard work **** us all?
We'd all rather just spend time and money at the mall

Socializing, sitting on our *****
Why not go online and take a few classes
Does it hurt to learn or try a little?
I wish the world could be just a tad more civil
Life is all about what you perceive personal perception
Dream big even I'm your dreams until you reach inception
The early bird gets the worm but that's a misconception
If you don't know where it is you have a common misdirection
Say it out loud have a sensing session
Until you reach the top early birds look for that interception
Word challenge inception
I couldn't wipe  the stain of her kiss from my lips
My breath was stolen with each embrace
Each mistake I felt no remorse
I only felt closer to wear I belonged
I shut doors behind me, I can never go back
I'm no longer in control, I've lost the keys
But the key was to keep you away from me
There always was a reason why we were never meant to be left alone
Each and every night I'm looking for a new home
What lies in the dark will be clear in the light seeing though deception our reality preceived as a game we play, take it lightly an surely you will be the one being played  so take precautions and take it with a grain of salt? Confusion is clarity out of order
Shine bright; shadows covering lies
Have you seen my sanity?
While my head is spinning
Can it be
I see
The things nobody else can?
Curiouser, peaking my interest I asked for no more than a name from the coy girl that stood before me. She knew my angle before I did. Her name ran through my head non stop. Her voice of that of not an angel but of the devil. Filling my head with thoughts of sin. Pure thoughts gone out the door. Mr. Nice guy is no more. I must have you. Nothing in this world to distract me from making you mine and more. Through the glass I peered, to see you with another. Jealous? Hardly. Curiouser, I said your name, and the look on your face I couldn't have recalled such interest before this moment. My heart raced.

At night I feel I never get any sleep
Real late at night, my thoughts don't make a peep
I feel I'm sick without remedy
From the top to my lower extremities

But it's okay because I'm not that weak
When I write these words to read they speak
Trying to reach a world beyond that
Like a drunk with a lean, you can call me cocked back

Loaded, already acknowledging I need a following
So I spit up these words instead of swallowing

These poems and my pride, I want to let it all show
I'm restless at night because I've been ready to go
Hoping the words in my vocabulary start to grow
But keep it simple stupid has always been my motto

I need to borrow a spoonful of sanity to keep away the vanity
and sustain my humanity I might just use profanity

But Nah, **** it, two tears in a bucket
You're hurt and only I can see
Your emotions and scars internally
Now I've been pushed so far away
So distant you can't hear me say
A battle I have to fight everyday
Just so I can have you stay
In my thoughts, my eyes, my arms all day
Can you see? You were never invisible to me
I've been in my head, a labyrinth of thoughts,
Where time slips through fingers, in battles fought.
No map to guide me, no compass to steer,
Lost in the tangles of a mind filled with fear.

The minutes dance swiftly, like elusive fireflies,
Yet I'm trapped in the shadows, as time slips by.
With each passing moment, I struggle and strive,
But my thoughts entangle, keeping me captive, alive.

In this realm of chaos, where whispers collide,
I'm entwined with distractions, my focus untied.
ADHD's tempest swirls, a relentless storm,
Pulling me deeper, where clarity is the norm.

But still, I resist, fight against the tide,
To break free from this maze, where I often reside.
For within these walls, there's a spark that ignites,
A flame of resilience, burning through the nights.

I gather my strength, search for a way,
To transcend the barriers, to seize the day.
With patience and persistence, I'll forge a new path,
Unravel the knots, and escape from its wrath.

No longer confined, I'll spread my wings wide,
Embrace the world beyond, where dreams coincide.
For though I'm stuck in my head, I'll find release,
And conquer the challenges, find my inner peace.

So, let the clock tick, let time carry on,
I'll unravel the puzzles, till the doubts are gone.
In this battle with self, I'll learn to be free,
A symphony of triumph, where I'm meant to be.
its all fun and games until someone gets hurt that explains this distance between you and I My eyes could never leave your side but besides that I was all yours Enamored like a high school love A curse and a blessing from above A twisted person with selfish intention Intervention; I thought we knew what it meant to be happy and i couldn't see a future without you Now you're something I need to fix, a loose *****
There was a time I use to dance
To the beat of our hearts in the night
It felt so right, under the covers, felt so right
But now my feet don't move for no one else..
Sad feet with no tune to jitter bug
And I thought I knew the feeling called love
I'll never let my heart do the talking
Loud mouth...
Carve your name into my skull
The way you creep across my mind is so sick
Thoughts of ******* become normal
I've become complacent, thought I had you from the start
No one was fooled but we were both charmed
No where to go but each others arms
So I thought; complacent
It's been a minute since I've talked to my Father
he's got 3 other kids I don't want to be a bother

It's been a minute since I've lived in the now
Always thinking about when but never how

I got problems that only I can fix
It's been a minute since I wrote something like this

I don't get down I just get stressed out
some days I feel like I'm having a mental drought
or lack of capacity to handle the tenacity
This fast-moving life is a travesty
Unable to fulfill my happiness and that's blasphemy

But I digress, It's been a minute since I've gotten my thoughts off my chest and out of my brain
It's been a minute since I've been able to enjoy the rain
Feel each droplet as it hits and resets all my pain

It's been a minute since I've had a plan
Everything in my life I wanted to do I'm just saying
I've done it, but no I won't quit
I've got ADHD so I can't sit
Still, I know I won't stop till
I break the end off this quill
Or I make some money off this so I can chill
I've done so much to please and appease you
Never asked for anything more or less
Than you to be my friend not acquaintance nor best
Give and take, you get and get
Not so easy, I ain't your pet
When the time comes and you need me around
You can find our friendship six feet underground
What was once said has gone dry
I've spilt more than I care to clean up
This mess needs more than attention
It's in need of Molotov solution
Watch this fire be crushed by the air in my lungs
What once was said has just begun
To take it's toll on your troubled mind
Thoughts of the past soon left behind
Unsure of what I say and the power of my truth
I'm not weird baby I'm just different to you
Laid my eyes on you to rest
This feeling inside takes control and precedence
You've seen the clues hints and evidence
Can you want me? Can you need me?
My twinkling star my diamond in the rough
Appraised every time I see you smile


Priceless
Being an adult  on the fast track called life
We rush to grow up but not understand
Choices and responsibility in life
Happy beginnings would thy be nice?
Everything was going great who would have thought a thot would come in and take it this far, but I don't blame them you're as guilty as she the fool, the monkey in the middle that's me. I tried to treat you right I did everything I could and that's true had my phone off around you, who am I to text if in with my boo? That's seems soft no doubt about it your name once on my tongue to think I'd shout it at the top of my lungs to think I thought it wasn't possible and then it begun a mixed company hiding on the run from my eyes and my presence you hid the shame calling me the bad guy now I'm messing with lames scrubs trouble pick your poison I just hope when true love comes around you keep making these choices because one day all you'll have are those good and bad voices of reason and pain they will always fight so to all whose felt this wrong good luck and goodnight..
When nobody seems to make time for me
I look for another hit of dopamine
Now the only time I feel I'm free
Is in my thoughts steady spiraling

I can't remember the last time I forced a smile
I can't remember the last time I ran a mile
My shoes still looking pretty new
No ambition to do what I used to
Many ships have sailed that I should have left on
You don't know what you've got till IT'S gone
I felt it all burn inside this space
Pompeii wreaked havoc all over the place
Watch it burn my ashes in this urn solitude my main concern
As any heart broken lover can attest
It's not easy cleaning up your own mess
Let the smiles and laughs pour out
Like waterfalls and rainbows
Happiness is but a free emotion we all pay for
Take my hand and we'll grin at the sky
Just because we love life itself
No reason to rush, smell the roses
None around, we can just pretend
We know that our smiles will still be there in the end
In a different place and a different time
I'd find your smile, that pale soft face
The cold hard truth is, I'd follow you down
To the ends of this world, to the end of my rope
I'm all for serious, I'm funny but this my dear is no joke
I'd hold your hand the whole way just to hear you say you need me

Where have you gone, where do you go
In the nights and hours I need you the most
Nobody cares and nobody knows
But to me you're nothing more than a ghost

I Promise I won't say a thing
Just come sit, let me push you on the swing
Share a laugh or two once more
Stay out late, use the back door

We could venture the night, brave our hardships
Solve all our problems with a little hard work
We can work it all out, there's no doubt about it
To be or not to be*
I see you, you don't see me
I wait while you scurry
I don't want to bother you, but I want you to bother me
Should I call, can I text?
No reply for days on end
This aching heart, your hand I hold in my head over and over
over, I wish you would come
You know my feelings, no reaction
But no not this time I demand satisfaction.
