Exhausted
RobbieG Sep 2021
I work little and make to much
I spend to much and spend to much time off
I need to work more and make less
I need to spend much less and spend more time at work
FULFILLED
But it must be something I love to do
But it must be something I'm passionate about
So I can have a normal schedule
So I can have a normal life
I'm tired of all the traveling
I'm tired of the uncertainty
I just want to write
I just want to love
I just want to live
I just want to
SURVIVE

She Calls
RobbieG May 2021
She calls your name as her voice whispers amidst your subconscious making broken promises trying to convince your voice of reason to tell your self lies in order to give in to her attempts to reclaim your soul
for her purpose as she misses her sidekick

You always were the life of the party and now your gone and it’s driving her crazy knowing the ability and power you have to convince a whole room to join you in sin as you all live it up faithfully

You were her biggest supporter, she always could count on you but now you’re letting her down. How? she asks herself as she sees you sitting at home doing nothing but writing poetry and drinking non-alcoholic seltzer

Her biggest fear is what her boss will think when he realizes she allowed you to give up drinking and start thinking for yourself .........

Yeah that is her biggest fear isn’t it, well be scared because I’m through with you , I don’t need you anymore Temptation or your calls because they will always go UNANSWERED, but keep trying as it’s giving me really good practice at saying NO and teaching my brain and subconscious that I SOLELY CONTROL MY THOUGHTS and NOT ANYONE ELSE so just remember that !

Her Body
RobbieG May 2021
Her hands not used for being held but rather tools used to defend herself

Her eyes not used for someone admiring  but rather tools used to view threats

Her ears not used for hearing kind words but rather tools used to detect fear

Her legs not used for being massaged or touched but rather tools used to power the run

Her feet not used for being pampered but rather tools used to separate her from him

Her mouth not used for speaking kind words but rather a tool used to scream for help

Her hair not used for looking pretty but rather tools used against her to hold her down

Her arms not used for reaching things but rather tools used to block for safety

Her back not used for being rubbed but rather a tool used to remind her of the scars

It’s no wonder she feels so unworthy and can’t seem to find happiness within herself

Every inch of her body is a constant reminder of a monster, his abuse has created

Not by her choice but out of necessity for her to be able to survive and remain alive

If only she had a better example as a young girl of how a man should really treat a woman

Then just maybe she would understand and realize that this is not deserving for anyone

You see her mother had it way worse so to her this guy seems a lot better than her step-dad

To her, she’s better off together with him, out of fear no one else could love her for who she is

When she can’t even love the reflection of herself from the images of her own body

A sad but true reality that more young ladies are living than what any of us could imagine

Fogged visions
RobbieG Sep 2021
I quit blaming my eyes for I know in my heart it's my mind that makes these visions come to life

I'm scarred internally
innocent sights dissolve
against the wind of insecurities I bare

I quit blaming my eyes for I know they are just windows to the world outside, a place I create mentally

I'm scared internally
innocent thoughts dissolve
against the wind of past trauma I bare

Spaghetgi Brains 🧠

Spaghetti brains 
or maybe its a mop 
covered in prego sauce 
but wait I heard a shot
pots and pans spilled 
all over the floor: bLoOd
the smell of ground beef, covers the walls, SpLaTtErEd
Or is it flesh, who knows ?
the chef is laying
on the floor, face down 
The heat in the kitchen must've been to much,  displayed by the bullet shell, Yes only one, Suicide for lunch, his life wasn't the only thing lost
but also my appetite, Gone

I sense purpose
I search for it
I seek direction

Feeling useless
feeling unfit
feeling misdirected

Living life selfish
living ungrateful
living with contradictions

Who ? You.... surface
Who? Me.... hateful
who makes these decisions

Hereditary. Possibility
hereditary, born to it
hereditary, these patterns

Adopted at birth
adopted from the start
adopted from past generations

Given the circumstances
given the facts
given the insecurities

Passed down
passed carelessly
passed with ignorance

I’m the chosen one
I’m the detective
I’m on the case

Studying myself
studying my loved ones
studying life eye to eye, face

Learning the mystery
learning The history
learning to love

Myself
them
her

Now
gone
done

My brain
my heart
my soul

All hurt
but not for
NOTHING

They hurt for me
they hurt for her
they hurt for them

A sign
a light
a sight

Finally I can see
finally I can read
finally I believe

Break free
break me
break from it all

Broken I was
broken I am
broken to this life

I’ll take myself
I’ll take this life
I’ll fix this mind of mine

My promise to myself
my promise to them
my promise to her

Permanent scars inside my

Well that’s what they expect you to think

Nothing in life inside or outside is ever permanent
Nothing in life inside or outside
can never be fixed
Permanent is permanently a lie amidst many words
Permanent is permanently an attempt to hold you back
Constantly keep growing and loving yourself
Constantly keep questioning
words with no hope

Preach
RobbieG Mar 2022
I gave up the baggage, I quit making excuses, I gave up the bottle, I'm hitting motivation full throttle and only seeking answers! 8 months strong I cannot do anything wrong, I'm collecting and erecting titles and deeds, just signed on the closing of the third property, this is who I always was but never who was seen! I'm making big moves and it feels good to have the strength, power and courage to do so! It's all just raw talent but until I lost all from the fall I could never stand tall and fearful, the confidence I have now is what I should've  been instilled with, if I had competent parents but let's not focus on the past because I decided already it wouldn't be the last to decide or hide the real me! Started with nothing in 2021 but a broken heart now it's the beginning of 2022 and I have more things to be proud of than things to not be, free is how I finally feel and the difference is the concept and mindset of: nothing seeming possible to the possibilities seeming endless, they started my life as a crime scene but I'm living it like a prayer answered, there's no limit to my self-growth or ability to become someone that should've never been a survivor but:



"I refused to be a lifelong victim, it's just not in my DNA regardless my bloodline. I refuse to be a justification to a bad statistic regardless how unrealistic that seems. The father in me that was born from teenage pregnancy rather than a man becoming a parent to me decided that its time to " MAN THE **** UP" and provide for the rest of the children to come!"

Quick to third-base I sprinted

towards the front door
and gave me a quick peck
on my disappointed face
but hey you can't blame a guy
for trying to get a homerun

Traumatized Security
RobbieG Jan 2022
"Mentality plays" roles on sexuality, what "we find" attractive may be "fueled by" encounters with trauma.

Lack of love translates to "someone who chases", much love might look like someone being "taken for granted."

These are comparisons in the "lightest form", I have alot of real life experiences with the "darkest forms." imagined

What makes you attractive is the question to "ask yourself." Make sure to "be honest!"

"Don't feel bad if" you don't  offer much, "I had no answer" when I asked "MYSELF FIRST"

You told me, you heard
the old me today
I told you, indeed you had
you replied, that scared me
I told you it scared me too
but that side of me
IS THE SIDE
YOU BRING OUT
I told you don’t blame me
you disagreed with my thoughts
You told me you still fear me
I replied, you scare me too
Let’s agree, we aren’t
good for each-other  
I told you today
we both just needed closure
To be able move on
let not fear hold us back
But rather the doubt
that brings fear to light
You told me,
it’s time to move on
I told you, I couldn’t agree more
I’ll still miss “us”
but from the good memories
we shared
My precious
long lost love
it’s time
we both move on

I can’t avoid it

No more pretending
no more relying on him
no more excuses

I Woke Up Today
RobbieG May 2021
I woke up today
well **** thats a start
How optimistic I am
for I know some have not
That’s just life though
one day  you’re  thriving
The next you’re barely
SURVIVING
Today marks day 8
since I took my last sip
May not seem like much
or a big difference to some
But to me I see and notice
how little things are different
Like my watch, it’s no longer
tight on my wrist, it fits loosely
My stomach isn’t bloated
My energy does seem a little
fatigued but that’s a normal
side effect
My brain and body are used
to operating the last 11 years
on alcohol as the nightly fuel
source, so it takes some time
to shake the curse and get things back on the right course
but the good news is I’m staying strong and most importantly my subconscious is my biggest support , the same voice in my head for 25 plus years telling me of fears from a blurred childhood, failed relationships and past is my strong point now, who would’ve thought
Well today not only marks day 8 but it also marks day 1 as I’m making the leap in faith today on May 23rd to go and seek about learning about Gods word
sure I’m not excited about the awkwardness of day 1 at a new church as everyone can be cheesy and over the top but maybe that’s the wrong thoughts to have , I don’t think it’s awkward to go into a random bar in a new town and drink and dance among strangers so why are our minds programmed so different when it comes to things that benefit versus things that can hurt or be a bad influence ..... well the devil works in mysterious ways is all I can think or maybe we just don’t love ourselves enough to have the confidence to know we deserve better , well no different than a hole in the wall , the right church will take you for who you are and accept all but If they don’t then just like that bar you have had  a bad experience at you can leave and try a different one
OPTIONS , for the record I’m not a very religious person at all but I will say what’s the worst thing that comes from gathering once a week with people that all believe in a higher power and have faith versus not ? That is the question I asked myself when weighing the good versus the bad and realized the good outweighed and won, so here I go with my best foot forward , standing tall and most importantly doing it sober
Happy Sunday everyone !

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

An impromptu date
well not exactly

Mutual friends call
we meet at their hands

Already acquaintances
from a work account

Periodic flirting
between the two of us

A nice night of dancing
amidst a couple tequila shots

All in fun, no hidden agendas
one thing led to the next

A convertible ride to
our friends place

Music, poetry and conversation
around a warm bonfire

The summer night
with a cool refreshing breeze

Concluded by
a romantic kiss

Next day came
we weren’t afraid

Nor shamed
we were both excited

Co workers whispered
as they spread rumors

We told them
it was ok

As we
laughed it off

We decided this calls
for a second date

We meet halfway
at a nice place

From our texts
we realize

She is desiring
some self-change

As she is battling
some things from her past

I shared my struggles
as well as my wins

She couldn’t believe
just how open I was

I told her
the most important thing

Is to
get it all out

Over lunch
she said to me

Today I’m going
to get a journal

I held back
a big smile

As I had her one
already in the car

As a gift
for when we left

Lunch ended
we walked to her car

I asked her to wait a minute
as I went to mine

Her face lit up
BIG SMILE

As she seen through
the window

I was carrying
a book for her

Titled on the outside
JOURNAL

We hugged
and shared a kiss

I told her
a message inside

A poem I wrote
titled “Yourself”

We went
our separate ways

As I headed out
she stayed put

I knew she was
reading the note

A minute later
she texted “ thank you “

This is the sweetest thing
anyone has ever done

I replied back
I support your growth

Regardless of what
we may or may not become

You deserve
to love yourself

BELOW THE POEM I WROTE IN HER JOURNAL I GAVE HER :

“YOURSELF”

Happiness introduces itself amidst faded darkness
You are reluctant to accept its invite with open arms
As you are scarred from others words of encouragement too
Who is to believe anymore you ask yourself in your mind
Promises of laughter, love and comfort are made
But you still feel discomfort in the vulnerability to believe
Questions of deserving these feelings reside in your mind
You want to accept you deserve to receive happiness but
It’s their actions that tell your subconscious to whisper  “No”
A constant battle within yourself, you struggle to deal with
Insecurities are not birthed internally but rather from others
Self inflicted pain from feelings of unworthiness your downfall
An emptiness that burns from within others planted doubt
But not that of your own and that’s the complete truth
Accept it as it’s always been your choice to choose to rejoice
You can trust your gut as it has never let you down this far
Happiness can be trusted when it’s self nurtured from within
So quit being afraid of decisions that you can make for yourself
Otherwise it’s not them you have to worry about but rather
YOURSELF

Time will tell
or so they say
I’ve heard otherwise
or so I say
How about you?
what’s your take?
Time eventually
will run out
Then what
takes place
You only know
what they want you to
You only hear
what they say loud enough
You only see
what they allow you to view
Time cannot
set you free
Time cannot
uncover the lies
Because even time
can be taken away from you
Just like life
they go hand in hand
Face the facts
you just seek
What it is
you desire
Waiting will **** you
LITERALLY
