It’s not my fault
I didn’t do it
I can’t take your pain away
my color of my skin
has nothing to do with the pain you’re in
dude
write it out, muck about
don’t take out my
brother
there’s another shooting
anger is brewing
when will it be enough?
we won’t lie down
no one gave us a crown
or a pedestal you put us on
you show your true colors but God sees above all others
justice will be swift
and you’ll deserve it
or haven’t you heard
it can be changed like this-
*snaps fingers*

you can put make-up on it
you can drink it away
you can be bi, straight or gay
the vessel is the same
learning to live in the now
not circle the drain
i want to forget my pain

the person they see
when they look at me
who is that I wonder
depression please don’t take me under
fake it till I make it
persona cracked won’t break it
time to find my joy
one less lonely boy
©️MarcusCaesar
so close to my dreams
can’t get close enough it seems
circling the pipes
nights I stay up
lonely, but don’t give a fuck
please inspire me
don’t know who I’m talking to
just hoped the message come through
I’m drained
need some relief.

this was the day
plans were made
you betrayed my heart
not okay
this was the day
we are to say our vows
how did I not see this before?
My life isn’t over
I wont shoulder this disaster
on my own
What does this mean?
I’m keen on letting you figure it out
©️MarcusCaesar
take that step
make that move
connect to the universe
for guidance
open up to the possibilities
words for myself

“Never forget that walking away from something unhealthy is brave, even if you stumble a little on your way out the door.”
-Mandy Hale
this poetry thang
gift from God
rough spots abound
my mind sees a clown
who would try this?
if the shoe fits
and the inspiration hits
go for it
don’t worry if no one reads it
likes or comments
maybe they’ll remember
your name.
