Overtook

Overtook

In that moment

peace overtook me

there was contentment in the still

Get There

Get There

It’s never enough.

Do more.

That’s all.

Remember That

Inside believed I had no one

then remembered,

there was me.

If you put me in a box,

They’d charge you an arm and a leg for shipping

I’m good on your box.

He told me a story of how he regretted

not doing things he dreamed of

That alerted me 

After that day, I quit, never went back

They Aren't a Problem

Your way

is not everyone else’s way

Learn that.

A Weapon

A Weapon

To some words fly off the tongue

they fade into the wind

For others, they invade like a disease, and kill them

Slowly

The Disability

The Disability

Your hearing is intact

but your listening is impaired

it is an equal detriment

Tire

Tire

You wheeling and you dealing,

but you never really shining,

you need some turtle wax,

you need

an alignment

I think there might be a nail

in your assignment.

Oh, you run the road?

you feel you truly rolling?

I tell you,

its that good gas

that you have been smoking…
you know you got the air (talk about inflated)

you damn, dumb doughnut!!!

Said you took the high road-

you really speeding on the dirt path to hell

Now, nobody can save you

from the unforeseen potholes.

Yeah, you felt you owned the streets,

as if your spokes were

really wired,

Now, you flat as hell…

you a busted tire.

Frigid

Frigid

Got a bowl of flakes,

you know that they frosted

package full of licorice,

you know that they twisted

when I hit you in your mouth,

you know your teeth shifted

whenever I go to the South,

it’s in triple digits

Here (up North)

see, it’s kinda different

dancing with the happy feet,

I’m shaking cuz it’s frigid

my teeth chatter,

my fingers numb,

the water is not liquid

the snow’s passed my knees,

its taller than a midget

and the snot, dripping ,

from my nose,

it froze

exceptionally frigid.

He was a drifter

Didn’t know where he would smoke his

next black

Didn’t know where his next egg sandwich

was coming from

Awakening

Those few months flew

The changes, apparent, seem enough to span a lifetime

You are completely different

Close your eyes

smell the scents

hear the sounds

L.U.B.

L.U.B.

When you’re ugly

but think you’re cute

people laugh at you on the inside

FML, but Wait...

FML, but Wait…

It rains

I seek refuge

The sun shines instantly

Celebrate Yourself

Celebrate Yourself

If whatever you do is never enough for yourself

You may accomplish much, and be loved

by many

but feel worthless and alone inside.

Torture Yourself

Torture Yourself

If I could stay out my head, I would be happier

but that would never happen

Misery isn’t that terrible.

Toxic People

Toxic People

Every time

I see you

I run the other way

Distress

Distress

In Distress

Wish to stay dressed

in bed with the finest

Quickly,

Slowly,

Softly,

Caressing

me into blindness

I’m undressed.

I focus

then redress

another fine mess

Quickly,

Slowly,

Uncertainly,

Rushing

from bed with the finest.

Victory over weakness-

Today.

I don’t have many shoes

less than 200 pairs

I’m damn near homeless

Honey don’t make you sweeter

Pearls can’t make you sleeker
Cause salt don't need no seasoning

Common

Common

Common.

Ordinary.

Vomit.

You make me very,

sick with your

basicness

Don’t think that I don’t know

your tricks

Don’t think I don’t see that shit

I know how you be spinning it

Know you be grinning when

You think

You out here sinning slick.

Common is what you be

Your basicness-

so plain to me

I’m what they call a vision-

ary

That’s why I detect,

your ordinary.

Common.

I wrote everyday
