Swimming or Drowning?

July 29th, 2024

i’m somewhere buried beneath the words.
screaming at the top of my lungs yet somehow i remain unheard.
at some point even the lines became blurred.
traction was lost causing my involuntary swerve.
i become a victim to my own emotions.
even despite the continued devotion and..
commitment really just disguised as resentment.
there’s a trouble brewing and it’s deep within my spirit.
if you put your ear to my heart you can even listen.
hear it breaking, it molding, it stretching its limits.
but one of the keys in life is knowing that you can shift it.
find a rhythm.
create a system.
create the life that.. you want to live in.
all it requires is when your heart speaks..
for you to the listen.

for you to trust your intuition.

to just remember what it feels like.. to be living.

Disguise

July 4th, 2022

"i'm not like any of these other guys.”
i say from under my disguise.
i gotta blend in and do whatever it takes.
i have a lot on the line and they're only raising the stakes.
but can you really blame me?
if i kept it a hundred she'd probably shame me.
like of course i want your body..
have you seen yourself?
i want to give you the authentic and just be myself.
but you know that's not the real reason why i'm here.
i’m not someone or something that you need to fear.
you can tell the difference just by looking in my eyes.
only honesty from here on out, i'm sick of all the lies.
my intent comes from a place only known as serenity.
i assure you that you can always find a friend in me.
me and you together, it's time to form a synergy.
i want to hold you down for longer than infinity.
i’m ready to take off this mask forever, i no longer need this disguise.
do you believe me now when i say,
"i'm not like any of these other guys?"
