There was a long time.
Growing up that I didn’t know any better.
I sinned against man, and God.
No one explained me the difference between right and wrong.
So, I kept on sinning.

three houses, one hotel, and it seemed every guy
on my street still conversed at the corner. there's
always an element to hide; some grams of H' to
the breast pocket, weed and some ganja. Green;
Today my life surrendered
Before Thy feet I lay
A willing, living offering
I now to Thee convey
-
And in Thy hands, Thy bidding
To do without delay.
Please take this life to mold it
Sometime I realize there's nothing left to say
When someone that you love says it's time to walk away and
Sometimes I know that there's nothing left to do
But pray these words come the way they always used to do
A hand
desperately craved
twisting and stretching
pulling my strings
Now, in this new land
To sense I’m enslaved
When darkness clouds in, my faith is deterred,
Fog and despair surround me, my vision blurred,
Turning to and fro, finding nothing in the night,
I surrender.
I am a winner.
I have won Your love. I have won Your approval. I surrender myself to You.
I am a writer because You made me a writer, I write for You.
No one hears you crying when you're suffering in silence,
Covering your mouth, doing all you can to hide it.
I know you're not going to last long, trying so hard to fight it.
You ask me how I know?
Sitting alone on the grass late one night
Admiring the starry sky shining so bright
I could not help but be in awe of my God
Who created the heavens and man out of sod
One night, I fell ill
I grabbed the scissors
And swallowed all the pills
I cut my chest
and held my heart
God did not bless
My work of art
As it beat
was still alive
A bite so sweet
Deep darkness held onto the fragile
heart
she carried within her chest-
unspent tears in her eyes
a mind that would never stop
but a brain that had died.
The slow beating of a broken soul
breathe.

in...out...
the calm rhythm of my day
undistrubed.

"no..."

Who will have compassion for those who swallow other's pain
Who will comfort those who are always comforting others
Who will support the strong when the strong is busy holding others up
If I can't close my eyes and imagine the endless metaphors
there is no need for these eyes of mine
If I can't sway to the flows and effortless quotes that glide from mouths
I was born into this life,
flew into the earth
head held high,
clenched fist raised to the sky
I’d heard all the rumors,
of warfare and hate
I was immortal,
It was not the horse that ran,
But me lending his legs my strength.
The world was opened up
And I could see right into
All my friend was trying to share with me.
We'd ride long and far
My body and soul detached
from the spine that weaves them
sinks and floats, respectively, with no
direction.
Mouths
slightly open
like pitchers
holding whatever happens to be on our
tongues
waiting for words
to cool
to room temperature
as to not shatter
the glass
we pour them into.
I am from surrender
From obeying every order
A tarnished childhood
That ended much too soon
My head lowers in a state of surrender
I allowed my hands to be bound in striking neon caution tape
Oh how easily I mouthed never
