Once In awhile
I’d take
A Long ROAD drive
TO nowhere
So that I could
HAVE a conversation
With THE three KINGS
SITTING at the THRONE
ME
MYSELF
AND
I
TO WORKOUT my mind
TO FEEL GOOD.
TO BE STRONG.
To get deeper into the abyss
Of the monster’s SKULL
To travel to another world
To see different perspectives
TO BE MINDFUL
TO STAND TALLER.
BECAUSE I WANT TO
TO BE HEALTHY minded
TO EMBRACE HOW HOT, ****, CONFIDENT,
POWERFUL, & FABULOUS The mind can be
FOR MY MIND. FOR MY SOUL. FOR MY BODY.
FOR MYSELF and OTHERS in needs
TO LOOK at the man in the mirror and SET AN EXAMPLE.
TO PROVE TO MYSELF THAT I CAN DO
ANYTHING.
I CAN fly
I can Swim
TO SEE IF THE WORLD IS REALLY MINE
BECAUSEI DESERVE IT.
BECAUSE I CARE.
BECAUSEI COME FIRST.
BECAUSE I LOVE MYSELF.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I Need
That’s what I am that’s what I want
BECAUSE I CAN

BECAUSE
ONCE,
I COULDN’T………

I'm That Guy

I’m that guyWho’s a sour noteThat sinks deep belowSuch ascending cadences. I’m that guyWho is a shitload of fuckThat shares a planet withFuckloads of shitI’m that guyWhose blindness cannot be curedWith mud slinged in eyesAlready tinted with brownI’m that guyWho facepalms wheneverGod’s precious little angelShares herself with thatintention.I’m that guyWhose insomnia is legendaryFor believing that the moonWill swallow us allI’m that guyWho crouches down betweenDissident friends partingEvery which wayI’m that guy Who plucks petals off flowersFor incense, ‘cause they smellbetterEngulfed in fiery passionI’m that guyWho strides in the snowUnscathed because no frostIs colder than regretI’m that guyWho hates the newsBecause killing, destroying,****** and stealingIsn’t exactly new.And when time itselfTransfixes its body Away from our existence;That’s when I’ll slump overAnd shut my eyes, just becauseI’m that guy. -Juan Carlos Gomez

Distanced Solitary

A lone house,
Safe and sound.
A long dirt road.
But within the walls lies the faults.

No sincere company.
Just the neighbors that pass by.
I sit.in the attic.
And see the world from there.

I have this big house,
But i all alone live in the attic.
So little space from the world.
But the distanced greatened by lonliness.

Im cursed i think.
As i see a couple walk along.
I am just like them.
But different.

And the dark devices.
That call to me.
From deep in.my mind.
Tell me im worthless.

But there is still a light.
That i look to.in.times of.trouble.
And when being alone takes.control.
I seek for.that glowing comfort.

Someday they will appreciate.
All the things Ive done.
I wasnt there to whisper what ypu wanted to hear.
But to.yell out the truths.

I didnt stay because i had to.
I stayed becauseI was scared for you.
My mouth is moving.
But my eyes speak all of the words.

Maybe someone will pass me.
And think that i have value, worth.
But, Until that day.
I will be counting my money alone

a soul like yours

I fell in love with a soul like yours somewhere in a past life and a life yet lived and in some lost fold in time in this life. We were once forbidden lovers and once jealous husband and wife that ended in ****** or suicide and once boy and girl sharing a first kiss and a first this and a first that in the back seat of a stolen car. I didn't know you at the time but I recognized that you had her smile and shy lust hiding in between the color of your eyes. I remembered that first kiss before I discoverd your new name and couldn't make a sound with my voice, luckily in that story you carved me out of my shell with a glance and a drink after drink and took me home to your bed and you showed me the skin of your heart and the pulse of your magic and sheets. And I got lost between you being her and her being you and found that we were just the same two souls going round and around in this life after life cruel to be kind cycle and I know I had nothing to fear from death becauseI knew I would find you wearing her smile and she would be born again and again in your soft white porcelain skin

Some days I wonder if you even want to come back

Some days I wonder if to you it's a blessing that you're not allowed to talk to me but you don't know how to stop so you don't end it when you come back. I wonder if you realize how little I cared for you the first two months we talked and how I never realized what the word love meant when I said it until the first time you left. I don't think I even knew how much you meant to me until now and now is exactly when I can't tell you. Sometimes I wonder if you want to come back but then I realize if you didn't you'd have told me because we were always honest with each other. Sometimes I wonder but then I comfort myself and smile becauseI know you love me.

Voicing my doubts about my love because gosh **** it I've having doubts right now. But I'm stopping them.

To be with you

Also I will love you forever
Because I know that you want
To be loved by me also
God I couldn't live without you
BecauseI want to be with you God
Forever
se my life would be empty
And also very sad
God i need you in my life
And I hope that you will
Be in my life forever
There are times that I can't stop
To think about you
And wish that
I could pray more to you
Every day
I find it is hard to find
The time to pray to you
God I have a busy life
And I am living a busy life

— The End —
