Square tiles 
line the floors 
Square files 
line the drawers
Square piles 
stacked from 
the floors to 
the ceiling 
Blocking the 
doors to the
files upon the 
floors preventing
the drawers from 
OPENING, secured

Adrenaline 
My drug 
of choice 
Every heartbreak 
every single lie 
made up
pumped blood 
ExTra 
getting me off 
to the drama 
love loves to be 
a part of 
pain 
Gain, game 
strain, insane 
GONE
lost, the cost 
HeAd-GaMeS
SHOTS 
relapse 
high again 
ON 
LoVe

Love me, or leave me 
They all decided to leave 
So im used to it

Ive lost more
than i ever loved 
Ive loved more 
than i ever shouldve 
So it only makes sense 
ive felt comfortable 
with LOST LOVE

I use my hands 
to act out 
Non-violently 
I use my hands
to hold my pen 
Non-violently 
I use my hands 
to hold my notepad 
Non-violently 
As quickly as 
thoughts surface 
Non-violently 
words are written 
creating more space 
Non-violently 
relieving stress 
In a healthy way 
Non-violently 
before I discovered 
this healthy outlet 
VIOLENCE 
tried to take over 
with the same hands 
Violently 
Against myself physically 
and others emotionally 
Violently 
My hands prefer 
writing as opposed to 
FIGHTING 
Violently 
I use my hands 
to share with others 
Non-violently 
That they too
can fight the fight 
Through Writing 
NON-VIOLENTLY 
and use their hands 
to take a stand against 
ABUSE

You see what you see 
I see what I see 
He sees what he sees 
They see what they see 
She sees what she sees 

Eye to eye we rarely see 
But our eyes see it all 
Why do we see the same things so differently?
Is it our minds fault?

You feel what you feel 
I feel what I feel 
He feels what he feels 
They feel what they feel 
She feels what she feels 

Heart to heart we rarely feel 
But our hearts feel it all 
Why do we feel the same things so differently?
Is it our minds fault? 

You think what you think 
I think what i think 
He thinks what he thinks 
They think what they think 
She thinks what she thinks 

Mind to mind we rarely think 
But our minds think it all 
Why do we think about the same things so differently?
Is it our eyes fault?
Is it our hearts fault?
Is it our minds fault?

I know I personally base thoughts off feelings but my eyes see what my mind believes so therefore:
Its my hearts fault for being on my sleeve.

HEART-ATTACK 

I know personally people that base feelings off thoughts and let their minds control all of their decisions regardless their eyes visions 

CRUISE CONTROL 

I know personally people that allow their eyes to give insight to how they feel before thinking and allow vision to control feelings leading to a drawn conclusion mentally

TARGET-LOCATED 

The combinations are endless and this is what causes the difference amongst our thoughts, feelings, visions 
AKA: MINDS, HEARTS & EYES 

DEFINE 

Who you are 
Who he is 
Who they are 
Who she is 
To better
UNDERSTAND
Where they are 
COMING FROM 

THOUGHTFUL 

We cannot seek 
UNDERSTANDING 
When we cannot 
UNDERSTAND 
OuRsElVeS fIrSt 

CONCLUSION

Bound by time 
punch for punch
captive to the clock 
both hands land 
wake-up, get to work,
go to bed, run run run 
ALARM CLOCK 
wont stop, fired shots 
PLEASE JUST STOP 
Bound by time
punch for punch 
captive to the clock 
both hands land 
KNOCKED-OUT 
passed out, stressed out 
sleep deprived, nap nap nap 
ALARM CLOCK
pops off, shots fired 
PLEASE JUST GET UP 
Bound by time 
punch for punch 
captive to the clock 
both hands land 
WAKE-UP

Your heart hurts 
Its a thunderstorm 
tears from above 
keep pouring down
clouded visions 
from past storms 
cover the thoughts 
from your subconscious mind, hope hides above 
never within reach 
"TEACH ME HOW"
your voice screams, 
to break the doubt 
to let love in 
tears keep pouring down
waterfalls below both cheeks 
pale skin, sweaty palms
LET IT ALL OUT 
mEnTaL-bREaKdOwN
damaged brain 
broken heart 
insecure reflections 
tough love 
fictional intentions 
unacquainted values
DAMAGED GOODS 
please im begging.....
" LeT tHe DeMoNs OuT!"

Common Cents 
past tense 
seems gone 
lost 
the cost 
more sins 
less gifts 
no presents 
just ask yourself 
WHY CANT WE ALL 
JUST GET ALONG
makes sense 
to much 
quite obvious 
without difference 
we all 
would be the same 
lame 
tame 
these pro-democritical
THOUGHTS 
lay them to rest
cots 
laser printed 
remarks 
robots 
marked dots 
melted down
recyclables in pots 
dumped in molds 
hault 
stop 
wait
what? 
one thing 
that cant be 
mass-produced 
to fill those plots
IS A GOD GIVEN HEART 
the cost 
for admission 
besides 
complete 
submission 
can be bought 
with 
common-cents 
from common-wealth 
knowledge 
is what im referencing 
not monetary values 
faith is free to adopt 
but itll literally be 
A GUARANTEED RETURN

For Them, For Us

 

Robert Grove

 

Regardless the talent 
you may witness 
none like the Cosmos 
Its a whole new world 
you may witness 
its a whole new planet 
based on raw talent 
shooting stars of poets 
all landing together 
in the exact same place 
for others to enjoy 
for others to be able to read
with good intentions 
knowing knowledge is power 
and together we all can 
believe in one another 
through the ability 
to share our stories willingly 
knowing it could 
quite possibly 
be the reason 
Making the difference
for someone 
who had no clue 
they are not the only one 
to go through
the unbelievable 
WE ALL MUST OVERCOME 
together we can 
together we will 
We must move forward 
regardless the climb 
or pitch of the hill 
regardless the height 
of the mountain 
We must prevail 
and set sail 
to calmer waters
never willing to fail 
because we all know 
WE DESERVE WAY BETTER 
so cheers to all the heroes 
also known as authors 
keep writing and fighting 
protecting the readers 
that witout our words 
could easily become 
VICTIMS

She caught my eyes 
I saw through her disguise 
makeup caked on heavy 
covering her pain
Our paths crossed 
leading to the same lane 
we both were souls 
going against the grain 
Wondering why ? 
life hasnt been moving 
smoothly 
She has my eyes glued 
to hers 
H0W GOOD IT FEELS 
to be a part of 
her presence 
She's a gift 
present

Break a heart 
to 
Make a heart 

Life isnt fair 
care to 
Tell her now?

Shes gonna cry
care to 
Tell me how?

I cant lie 
to 
Lead her on 

My feelings changed 
care to 
Break her heart 

My feelings changed 
care to 
Make her heart 

Make a heart 
to
Break a heart 

Love isnt fair 
care to 
follow your heart? 

I know now 
to 
Let her go 

Break a heart 
to 
Heal a heart 

Right now mine 
is 
Split in two 

Love isnt fair 
care to 
Tell me how? 

Make a heart 
to 
Break a heart

Chase paper 
paper chases you 
The more you acquire 
the more that owns you 

Why do we?

Find comfort 
in what we have 
when what we have 
creates discomfort in us

Inspired by Wilford Barker's poem titled:
"A Song Without A Voice"

Heartbreak creates waves              stronger than loves compassion forever felt the                                 ripples 

    Abroad new waters 
 an entire ocean 
         of recovered calm seas 

    Still they go noticed 
regardless the time passed 
                forever a reminder 

Heartbreak's waves 
          and the pain they cast 
forever leaving              ripples 

       Pain fades as we do too 
but yet the scars remain
      forever the           ripples will last 

      Forever the pain of 
               Heartbreak's waves 
forever a reminder

She wants loved 
but doesnt know 
what it means 
to be loved 
unconditionally 
She wants loved 
but doesnt know 
love isnt all give,
Its a give and take 
to be loved 
She wants loved 
or so she thinks 
her idea of what
love means 
is far from fact 
She wants loved 
I see years of pain 
amidst her eyes 
as the words pour out 
when she vents to me 
She wants to be loved 
she is so oblivious though 
not realizing her and I
have been more intimate 
through deep conversations 
that required no strings 
because I want her to know...
I want to love 
and I want to be loved  
I know what it means 
to be loved unconditionally
so for that reason 
I will continue to be 
PATIENT 
Knowing past love lost 
has taught me 
greater pain is endured 
through the loss of love 
than the sacrifice to love slow
She is loved
but she just doesnt know 
because for once 
she is in control 
with no pressure or 
hidden agendas 
She is loved 
but who knows 
how long it will take 
for her to realize 
the beauty through my eyes 
from her eyes reflection of 
PAIN 
I LOVE HER 
I WANT LOVE 
I WANT TO BE LOVED 
SHE WANTS LOVE 
SHE HAS IT 
BUT WILL SHE EVER KNOW 
THATS FOR HER TO DECIDE 
OF LOVE TO BECOME 
OR FOR IT TO FADE 
I KNOW I LOVE HER 
BECAUSE IM REMAINING 
TO BE A GOOD FRIEND 
NOT KNOWING 
IF SHE WILL FEEL 
THE SAME 
LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL

Mentally ill 
decisions made 
based on 
the sickness
Well now 
I feel healed 
but left to 
endure the pain
Because decisions 
were made 
that cant be 
taken back 
Selfish was I 
for taking to long 
to finally get help 
Selfless i was 
when I realized 
just how ill 
I really was 
to make decisions 
but that was then 
this is now 
Im way better 
but stuck with 
the aftermath 
If i could go back 
if i could rewrite 
the past pages 
knowing then 
what I know now 
I promise, 
I would've 
NEVER GAVE UP 
On you, on them, on us 
ON MYSELF 
These thoughts 
cost myself 
wet cheeks,
heartache,
mental pain 
STRAIN 
Ashamed 
sums it all up 
regardless the growth 
regardless the change 
There's one thing certain 
Ill never live down 
the endless pain 
SUFFERING

A sky
A star
A guy
All alone
One day
One night
That all changed
A sky
A star
A girl
2 worlds
Spent apart
Now Together
Lost in
One sky
Two stars
Cross paths
Shinning bright
In one another's light
Found
Discovered
Uncovered
Her eyes
Melt his heart
Her heart
Warms his soul
2 stars
1 guy
1 girl
1 sky
Together
They form
1 bond

I was complete 
until a trigger 
released my 
buried wounds 
I cried, profusely 
like a baby 
Yeah, im still not 
over it 
Man! what a past 
I have endured 
Im not proud 
of these scars 
These triggers 
might just be 
the death of me 
Ill never be healed 
because they may 
never be gone

One bad decision 
may cost an entire life 
only one mistake

Girls acting like women 
they look so scandalous
tempting us boyz 2 men 
creating physical attraction 
Distractions creating havoc 
they have no good intents 
only mission is to own us 
we cant break the chains 
Decades of suffering 
at their hands and plans 
but lets adress the elephant 
99'/, chance it was a man 
A father, a dad, the one 
at fault for the lack of love 
the ones that drove them mad
that made them seek out
For approval to feel worthy
handing out the only facts 
that they have lived with 
fictional love and doubt 
Their bodies pour out 
blood from their heart 
as they begin to feel 
IMPORTANT 
FROM THE LOVE 
OF BOYZ 2 MEN
through fake love 
Dont lose hope 
GOOD MEN STILL EXIST

Revisiting old posts 
the audio literally 
speaks volumes to me 
no pun intended 
im just glad 
I finally heard the words 
spoken from a broken soul 
telling me to **** 
all the bad dreams 
so the good ones could 
BECOME REALITY
******

Today, yes starting now 
please grant me 
the power to stay strong 
remaining focused 
on what is important 
walking today's path 
guided by my 
moral compass 
Today, yes starting now 
please grant me 
the ability to not get distracted
or be tempted 
to stray away 
from what is necessary 
to fufill my purpose 
and reach my goals 
Today, yes starting now 
please grant me 
the courage 
to stand tall 
for what I believe in 
and to be successful 
throughout the entire day 
with staying true to 
WHO I AM

Every emotion or feeling 
whether good or bad 
happiness or pain
love or hate, all 
came from 
these 26
letters 
A-Z
A-Z
look at
what you
have done 
there would be 
no one to blame 
for the words spoken 
or for the words written

Since my breakup 
I realized the importance 
of threats from debt 
wieghing down 
a relationship 
Since my breakup
I have made a promise 
to not have one 
monthly obligation
regardless the sacrifice 
Since my breakup 
I moved in with family 
in order to save money 
and paid cash for a camper 
so I could live, rent free 
Since my breakup 
I paid cash for a pickup 
that easily could last me 
the next 20 years to come, not paying one penny to interest 
Since my breakup 
I have been saving 
as much as possible 
versus financing 
MY AMERICAN DREAM 
Since my breakup 
I bought a sports car 
that was the one to have 
when I was in highschool 
another goal Im proud of 
Since my breakup 
I have divided and conquered 
all the debts and threats 
of monthly obligations 
and rearranged my desires 
Since my breakup 
I have realized what i want 
and Im proud to say 
I finally purchased 
my own piece of land 
Since my  breakup
I have discovered 
my desire to live simple 
and my next mission
is to build a home on my land 
BUY DIRT

Downbeat, leaning down,  appearance insecure, unhealthy heart, mind filled with doubt and 
I'M FEELING BAD

Upbeat, standing tall, 
appearance confident,
healthy heart, mind filled with 
everything but doubt and 
I'M FEELING GOOD

Spend money like it's
nothing
to me its nothing
but numbers 
Spend energy like it's 
SOMETHING 
to me its everything
but simple-math

Get your point across 
We all know you always do 
but we still love you

Signs unnoticed on 
purpose 
A familiar reflection of 
guilt 
Change needed but never 
planned 
Fears of possibly failing 
preventing 
Motivation from kicking 
in 
Mediocre is all i'll ever 
be 
Caught in the middle 
of 
Heaven and Hell until the day 
comes 
Suspense of thee unknown
comforting 
One question still with no 
answer 
Was I created, born or
raised 
THIS WAY, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
FOR MY MISFORTUNES?
WHO?

Rays of light crash through the waves of the sky 
Shinning bright on you and me from a massive star 
Various shades of soft blue 
reflect from the waves below 
Without the ups and downs of life would we be blessed?
Thoughts of optimism respond back happily "No we would not"
Maybe its just the combination of the warmth from the sun
and the Vitamin D my body is absorbing talking
It's funny how little things can have huge impact on our days decisions

To be conditioned 
never to notice others 
that may need our help

I pretend to forget
kids are starving 
I have a sports car 
a badass truck
I make 120k a year 
doing what I love 
I own a camper 
I can park anywhere 
I have a condo
in Michigan 
and stay in 5 star hotels 
all across the country 
But yet theres people
with no running water 
So to tell you 
I struggle with faith 
shouldnt leave you puzzled 
How can I have all of this
Knowing some have nothing 
and to the ones
that feel good they give 
I bet its never enough 
to help all out 
but yet still 
you are doing just fine 
Is this our fault 
or is it even mine 
That this mind 
OF MINE 
works this way
Maybe it is, maybe its 
NOT 
who really ******* knows 
I work hard 
but to some 
thats not even 
an option 
FrEeDoM isnt FREE 
when you have a conscious

D.T.I.P
please 
Its not 
your fault 
D.T.I.P
we know 
you 
deserve 
way better 
D.T.I.P
please 
understand 
I did 
love you 
D.T.I.P
I accept 
full 
responsibility
for
my actions 
D.T.I.P
just know 
I still 
love you 
more than 
ever
D.T.I.P
I've
changed 
for 
the better 
D.T.I.P
I 
finally 
became 
better 
D.T.I.P
I 
finally 
b­ecame 
what 
you needed
D.T.I.P
you 
never 
got 
through
to me 
D.T.I.P
you were 
the motivation 
until you 
went missing 
gone 
I never 
heard 
your words 
or accepted 
the truth 
reality 
D.T.I.P
because you 
still could 
be with me 
But please 
D. Dont 
T.Take 
I. It
P. Personal
i finally grew 
and became a man 
that you thought
I never could 
be
D.T.I.P

Is it you?
The one that is gone 
the one that lost life 
For you are no longer here
disappeared from this earth 
A true place of sin 
Hell on earth especially now 
Are you the victim?
for the inevitable took place 
You are no longer here 
you are heavily missed 
Are you the victim?
Or is it all of us ?
We are still here 
we still have life 
We havent disappeared 
from this sin filled earth 
We lost you and we are forced alone, without you 
Are we the victim ?
Or are we just being selfish?
We know you are in a better place , regardless ones faith, we know it cant be worse than here 
You no longer have pain, you no longer have fears, you no longer are living in a sin filled world 
Are you the victim ?
Or is it us ?
Can you still see me, wherever you are? If so can you believe me, when i say " when i lost you, i lost who i was" and if so, does it **** you, like the loss of you did my spirits and if so is my reaction causing you to be the victim from the sorrow you see in my eyes? 
Are you the victim? 
Or is it us, the ones that love you and hate that you're gone?

A heart filled with hope is a heart filled with doubt, for one wouldnt need to seek more than the known, If one had a heart filled with faith

                 MORAL:S

Life isn't a journey
                 but rather a path 
Purpose isn't discovered 
                    but rather found 
Happiness isn't given
           but rather a decision 
       Love isn't granted 
but rather formed 
       Lead with your heart,
             decide with your mind 
         Let your morals
   be the compass
               and you will, 
                   NEVER BE LOST

Apply pressure 
Release pressure 
Applied pressure 
Released pressure 
Present pressure 
Past pressure 
Voluntary pressure
Involuntary pressure 
Solid pressure 
Weak pressure 
Whatever the measure 
Life is full of it 
Whatever the treasure 
it comes with it 
Whatever the relationship
it creates a form of it 
Whatever the friendship 
It will be subject to 
PRESSURE 
Life is all about learning how 
to handle its various forms 
While maintaining to be calm 
"Pressure pushing down
on you"
"Pressure pushing down on me"
So dont bottle it up
I will confess
it will eventually  explode 
Making a mess 
of what couldve been 
better finessed 
Passing Life's Test 
knowing their will be 
MORE TO COME 
So put less on yourself 
and others you may know 
There's already enough 
PRESSURE IN THE WORLD

Brain in overdrive 
producing mighty thoughts 
releasing ideas 
transfering out my windpipe 
pushing out from my mouth 
HEAVY WORDS 
with much truth 
in the message 
they spread unbiasly
for all to hear and see 
THE BITTER TRUTH
coming out in the 
rawest form 
subject to 
hurt your feelings 
but not on purpose 
these thoughts of mine 
have no alterior motive 
nor any self-benefit 
wether you agree or not 
the verdict is 
I MUST RELEASE 
all that i think 
so please decide 
for yourself 
what words to believe 
what words to grasp 
and hold on to
or which ones 
you should 
RELEASE 
and let go 
Storing the significant 
messages 
and point of views
that make sense 
using for self-growth
Ignoring the words 
that dont mean the most 
TO WHO?
You! not me 
these are my thoughts 
I created them 
from this fragile brain 
in an effort to grow 
I have decided 
to share them all 
not just for my benefit 
but for others 
WHO CAN RELATE 
and through trust
or relationships built 
we can grow together 
through......
SHARED COMMENTS 
Helping one another 
through relation of 
LIFE'S PROBLEMS 
believe it or not 
we arent the only ones 
going through 
THE SAME ****T
So let it out 
the good, bad and ugly 
I wont judge 
but rather try to help 
I wont pour gasoline 
on your fire 
but rather take comfort 
in the warmth of 
VULNERABILITY 
because its us 
who you decided 
TO TRUST 
with your 
FEELINGS

To remember pain 
but to forget love 
To forget happiness 
but to remember sadness

Truth be told 
only we can decide 
On which feelings 
we want to focus on

Truth be told
within our lifetime 
We will experience 
the good and bad 

Without either 
we could take
Our life for granted
and everyone

I choose optimism 
it seems the best choice 
Its much easier to be happy 
when you try to rejoice

One man makes millions and has no needs 
Many millions make nothing and would **** to eat 
One man can change their life and spread wealth 
Many millions changed his life
and provided his wealth 

One man making millions from millions of others less fortunate and he decides
To make one bad decision and cost one of the millions to lose their life

From many drinks and getting behind one wheel, having no regard for anyone else but himself, without fans he would be nothing just like the millions that do without 

One man took it for granted, to make millions for playing a sport and went from a professional athlete to a murderer, turning the millions that made him millions from fans to victims 

Moral of the story.... 
All it takes is one bad decision to effect millions and all it takes is one bad decision to go from millions to literally having nothing, Please if you drink dont be selfish and get behind the wheel

Wicked games 
normal names 
Are the ones 
that pull the strings 
Horror brings
wicked names 
abnormal games
Are the ones 
that pull the strings 
Nobody deserves 
nobody earns 
To be controlled 
at others hands 
Control brings
wicked things 
Abnormal games 
upon the ones 
Horror from 
the wicked ones 
That pull the strings 
to control normal ones 
To those that need 
to feel they succeed 
Pulling the strings 
that only wicked names 
Would attempt to In an
effort to control anyone
I have no place for you 
or your horror games 
Please leave me alone 
I will not be controlled:
BY ANYONE, NOT EVEN YOU 
THE WICKED ONE 
WITH YOUR NORMAL NAME
PLAYING YOUR HORROR GAME, PULLING STRINGS 
IM NOT YOUR PUPPET,
TO CONTROL

Pain fades, pain never dies 
Pain lies, pain has saved
memories of her, she's gone 
Regardless of time 
I still miss her 
Every aspect of our love 
slowly forgotten 
With time our loves shadows 
have slowly vanished
The only memory left to remind me
Is the memory of the faded pain, what once was beauty
What once made tears of joy 
now haunts me, with tears of loss 
I hope she's happy 
I hope she has fully moved on 
I wish this faded pain
on no one

The same concert 
that went deadly wrong 
made headlines 
with little to no more 
information than yesterdays 
update from the same incident two days before 
Next up Aaron Rogers 
NFL superstar lied about being vaccinated 
or did he ? He replied I'm immunized in the interview when they asked him a personal question, in front of the whole world. Will he be fined or will Greenbay Packers too and if so how much? or will he be suspended even after he recovers from his positive Covid test, Same questions yet still with no answers on a topic i could really careless. This segment is going on a week 
The Democrats this, the Republicans this, will bills get passed , Biden this, Biden that, his party lost in Virginia but the winner never claimed ties to Trump blah blah blah 
A week ago NFL superstar runningback Henry Ruggs III drove his mid-engine corvette 156 mph and crashed into a young girl in a Rav4 killing her and her dog, they literally burned to death as she was stuck inside the car, a doorman tried to pry her out as all he heard was screams. Headline story every morning with updates on the case and charges he will face
An old shooting, a new shooting, updates on Covid but all these things have one thing in common 
FEAR 
This is why i refuse to watch news, i just cant start a good day off with trauma, fear and guilt.

Captive to words 
you think 
you speak 
you write 
you read 
Captive to words 
you hear
you retrieve
you see
you believe 
Captive to words 
the thoughts become 
persuasive
the voices become 
familiar 
the writings become 
non-fiction
the readings become 
feelings 
Captive to words 
the sounds become
damaging 
the fostering becomes 
comforting 
the visions become 
naturally 
the beliefs become 
reality 
VICTIM TO WORDS

Our bodies the sky 
the various constellations 
unique to our personal history
Mapped out precisely 
identified by scars 
laid out unintentionaly 
Amidst all memories 
the good, bad and ugly 
happy to horrorscopes 
Bound by gravity
as we walk this earth 
for all to be exposed 
24/7 we see these wonders 
wether day or night 
unlike the stars that shine 
Only noticeable to ourselves 
or the ones we trust to share
our story with, our bodies 
Heaven and Hell 
our scars beauty and pain 
on our bodies like stars 
IN THE SKY

Time tells all tales 
What once was thought 
What once was heard 
May not always be the truth 
Time tells all tales 
Time releases the truth 
What once was thought 
What once was heard 
May not be easy to think about
May not always be easy to hear
Time tells all tales 
Time heals all wounds

Haters keep hating 
You should've been hugged way more 
It is not your fault
