Rated R because I sometimes get a little crazy with my work and I just want everyone to be advised that these m,any or many not get vulger, graphic, or a nasty combination of the both.


Welcome!
Here is where I will post the good, the bad, and the ugly of my writings. I mostly write slam poems but I may get into a short story here and there. Either way, feel free to comment that you like it or you don't . I am very good with taking feedback. The only thing I ask is that you're not a dick about it.

Observe
let the music fill my ears
beating to my own drum
i dance like no one is watching
and sing as though i am singing
to the friendly shower-head
that i talk to day in
and day out
no one else will listen
so what am i supposed to do
kids have their imaginary friends
adults have their co-workers
friends?
who has the patience
with the lies
the lies
the lies
lying to get out of trouble
only that monster
that guilty monster
eats away all your insides
paranoia seeps through
those little cracks until
finally you crack
under the pressure of
being perfect
fitting in with everyone else
making yourself skinny enough
or light enough
or strong enough
or perfect enough
when is enough, enough?
when can individuals
individualize and be themselves
instead of hiding
behind the mask
of every day life
life is a masquerade
no one is real anymore
no one is true
posers
liars
masks
hiding
running
fearing
what if
what if
what if
what if i am not good enough
what if they don't like me
what if they don't like the
words i spill into this poem
what if they know about me
what if they know the real me
what if they know
behind the fake smile
and the funny jokes
my life is truly more f***ed up
then i let it appear to be!
see through the cracks
see the real me!
i am not a mistake
i am important
the world may put me down
but i am strong and
i can hide the pain
behind this fake smile
walking down the street
give my last dollar to a
homeless man who looks
like he has been to hell
and back again
as a rich man
pulls up in a fancy car
that was worth more than
the life of 3 million men
gives a dirty look
like he's better than me
like he owns me
i have news for them
those people who live high
on the horse
with a crown
that cost 30 cents at Burger King
dreams can crumble
dreams can fall
life is unpredictable
and baby, karma
really is a bee with an itch
what comes around
goes right back around
and one day
i hope you get hit right
in the face
while people are more concerned
body image
that people develop anorexia
shhh!!!
don't say that word
nothing bad ever happens
the world is perfect
or that's what they want you to think
cover up the bad
it doesn't exist
cause if there is bad
then you see past the good
as if there is any good anymore
peace and love
words that mean so little in a world full of
hate and anger
with soldier in an endless war
kids dying in the streets
suicidal teenagers take their last breath
bullies "accidentally" killing a man
just cause of the look he gave
or because they don't like the fact that he's gay
when the world becomes a spinning vortex
of hate pain sorrow and cruelty
even then will people see
will people realize
the world is not perfect
and hopefully you all will
observe the world
through a new point of view
