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?

I miss her
She misses me
When we’re together
we can be us
But that’ll never happen
and it’s not because
OF US
but rather
All the in-between
that refuses
To allow
OUR
stars to shine
TOGETHER
So we remain
amidst the same sky
DULL
amidst the same WHY?
hidden from our light
Amidst the same
LIFE
but separated
By the in-between

He kicked the can
far before the keg kicked

He drank himself
until he drowned

Literally his last breath
was spent at this bar

Right before his last cent
he was broke in many ways

His days started at open
his nights began at close

Only leaving room for
a drunken walk and sleep

His spirits were always hi
until the spirits went bye

A rowdy guy he could be
when others spoke to thee

He was a lonely man
sorrow built up caked his face

Cold brews washed it down
as foam covered his chin

He knew his limits though
never touching the liquor

The beer numbed the pain
the brews calmed the temper

A good tipper indeed he was
but now he's gone from us

He kicked the can
far before the keg kicked

The pub still lives on
from open to close

His lack of presence
remains the biggest difference

He was a lonely man
that found comfort at

The bottom of every glass
he had ever ordered

But was it genuine habit
or was it out of pattern

I never the courage to ask
I never the care to speak up

Is life moving to fast
for us to take the time

I'm no therapist, I remind myself
but merely a tender of the bar

However I still feel guilt
knowing I filled the last mug

Meaningless words dealt
fake "how you do's"

It turns out, until he was gone
I never valued his soul

He was a lonely man
but now so am I

He kicked the can
far before the last keg kicked

And now I'm left
kicking myself in the ***

For never becoming
a good friend
​​​​​
Cheers to the "Irregular" we become so lost in convenience we miss what really matters in life!

Non-violently

In a healthy way 
Non-violently

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

Watch, listen and read...... those are others actions, voices and words!

Do, speak and write...... those are your actions, voice and words!

Everything you do should have purpose in life.

Everything in life should have meaning.

Time is to valuable to not invest it wisely!

Pay close attention because close attention costs you.

Whether you realize it or not, I promise you they do!

Confused 
not about “ The who “
but more about 
“ The time “
Everyone knows 
it has always been 
her, yes you !
JENNIFER 
What has seemed 
like a lifetime, 
a true eternity 
in reality has been 
less than a year 
Every minute apart 
my heart has desired 
to be near, back within 
arms reach, next to you 
Your name, still engraved 
on my arm, our horoscopes 
still etched on my shoulder 
My eyes still wandering 
looking for the face 
that made my heart race 
uninterested in the rest 
By far this has been 
the hardest test 
to discover yourself 
re-invent an entire life 
filled with disarray 
Overcoming years 
of fears, drowning in tears 
from missing her love 
and still managing 
to become better, 
day by day 
and the only answer 
that makes any of it 
make sense and possible:
Its all because of You!
My motivation 
my lost companion 
my best friend 
my safe haven 
my guardian Angel 
You’re gone now 
lost in time 
like a princess
trapped in a tower,
guarded by a dragon 
feeling cursed 
waiting for Prince Charming 
I lost your love 
as an ungrateful peasant 
not knowing 
how to care for 
the love I needed 
and desired 
but since then 
my life journey 
DISCOVERY 
Has taught me 
of much needed 
LESSONS
Has granted me 
of much needed 
COURAGE 
I’m no longer him 
he has transformed 
from an insecure boy 
to a knight and shinning armor 
PREPARED to battle 
and slay the dragon 
SAVING you 
from a life 
away from your 
PARTNER 
Releasing you 
from feeling captive 
Unleashing our 
old love, replenishing 
our purpose in life 
CREATING

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

You’re an adult but miss being a kid , tired of a life requiring responsibility to get far

You decide to hide from it all and commit to just being a big kid but how with no toys

When you were younger your toys were your friends , stuffed animals and action figures

Before meeting you they all were nameless and hostage to a lonely retailers shelf

You felt connected as a mother giving birth to a childhood as you gave them purpose

Naming each and everyone, allowing them to tag along in all of your adventures

But that was then and this is now, how ridiculous you would appear with made up pals

Voiceless and choice-less, it’s just not the same kind of fun it was in your childhood

So now you contemplate and sit and ponder, it suddenly hits you like a bag of bricks: LEGOS

Toys with hearts is what you desire, with brains, with voices and real life emotions

So quickly you get excited realizing the possibilities of a completely filled toy-box

Is it fair to them to use them for your satisfaction as you toy with their emotions for fun

Nicer to some than others but the ultimate mission is to get them to ride your coattail

Never out for their benefit but rather yours as you see them as your childhood toys

At your dispersement as you see fit for your emotions and personal self benefits  

And when they realize it and get fed up, they move on but your not bothered by this at all

Because just as a child it was only a matter of time before you outgrew them one by one

Then on to the next big hit, the next big trend and the old toys left to take the hit, ALONE

Well these real life toys have hearts and it’s just not the same as they are being tore apart

But you could careless as you witness the pain and agony you force them to face

As they lay in pieces astray, your mind has already moved on , gone without a trace

Well in time this may seem to work as you get your socks off to others hurt

But the reality is the play dates will come and go but before you know it’ll be to late

You’re a narcissist, not a kid and the real victims aren’t your friends but rather you

They tried to help and tried to get you to see but your to into yourself to ever care

A lifetime of new acquaintances is your life sentence as you are always losing loved ones

All the misfits you have offended all pray for the day you can finally grow up

Because regardless the pain you have caused them they are toys with hearts

They bleed, they cry, they can relate, they can hate but they choose not too

Because your not worth any of their emotions and that’s why you don’t deserve

Toys with hearts because there’s no such thing, it just doesn’t exist

They are people and you’re a
F❤️CKING NARCISSIST, with an empty toy box

"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"

This soul has never been complete, this soul was destined to compete, this soul refuses to continuously repeat itself, defeat it will never accept, failures it will continue to ***** knowing its one life closer to success, this soul will forever live on in better light, each century it takes on leaves the next century better off, this soul will never die, this soul of mine will forever live on! This soul will forever be convicted, this soul will eternally be guilty until I prove it to be innocent, this soul will break all the man made rules backed by man made statistics fuel by man made mathematics, justified with man made knowledge and when it does all others will realize 99'/, of life is all just *******!

You're so smart, you know it all! Every question in life, you provide a quick answer for everytime. Do this for me, just one time! Think about living a life that requires no response....... A life lived where every single decision is obviously justified! Think about that, just for one time! That's when you hit the jackpot you're living a good life! Time invested to others thoughts, just aren't necessary nor are they scary because the decisions are right! The kind of life where karna is multiplied and not divided, the kind of life that makes you proud to lead and live! The kind of moral compass that never leads to feeling threatened!  That's the kind of thoughts I'm having, those are the kind of decisions I'm making and no mistaking these feelings that back them..........ever!
Because they are real!

Adrenaline preventing the pain from hurting, fueling anger but now I’m no longer in shock and the longer I go without her the more pain I feel internally, Memories force a relapse in behavior from old emotions resurfacing, pulling and pushing thoughts, tugging on my heart, where to start when it comes to healing..... God only knows, LOST

Thank God I did 
thank them for it
