I like beauty, food, knowledge, sharing and caring. Join me as I write about it all….
I say this to myself
As I take the stage
Fight your fears
Recite your favorite poems
Be adventurous
Sing that song (even if you aren’t great)
Take pictures
Of yourself
Love yourself
Look in the mirror
Smile
Don’t take it so seriously
Hell you write the lines
Just follow your writings…..

so bright
wanna shine
i step back
because of “what they think”
creative life
my own limitations
are blinding me
can’t won’t see
compliments from peeps
watching stars Glaring
trying to be free
of the old me
wipe the mirror dude
see yourself
be yourself
walk into the light
u have the fight
gonna get it right
someday is tonight
while sounds of blackness
optimistic plays in the background

It’s been the same
Scared of change
Im a creative creature
I thrive off of creating worlds
I didn’t share, caring what you thought
It’s been simmering
Percolating under the surface
Doing myself a disservice
Been Dormant; long enough
Fear as my crutch
I’m gonna, I wanna share my art
My heart is in a different place
No this won’t erase the past
All I ask is for patience, time
I’m trying to figure it all out
Scream and shout let it all out
My voice, my soul , no control
Getting uncomfortable
Just you wait and see
The fire I have in me……..

I enjoy eating
Fast foods, Snackfoods, good foods, bad foods
It’s my armor
Invisible, seen, antisocial, mean
I choose this
Hard to quit, Easy to get, goes down smooth
It’s how I cope
Sexuality, obesity, debt, stuck
I pray about it
Love, money, purpose, relationships
It gets better, doesn’t it? Hope.

I know I know
Should have dropped this long ago
Why am I still here….
The people in the world man
So nasty, so rude, so entitled
Was it a mistake going into Customer Service ?
I try to be love and light
Try to fight the good fight but
I’m tested on a daily basis
I’m Relieved that I’m staying on my path
Many a people try to steer me away
I’m off work till the next day
Quit and let it all go
That’s the question I pray for guidance
To let me know
I don’t hate it, no
Am I happy is the question
And I’m guessing the only one who knows
Is…………… me

The world can be tough
Without your brain making it so
It can be sometimes hard to put yourself in go.
Be Tender with yourself /myself/ourselves
I wish I knew all thee answers
Always searching for something more
I’m learning to adapt
To love ❤️
To accept
Myself as I am
Work in progress

Sitting here thinking about you…..
I want to play in the rain with your essence
Eat pizza, while we disagree with pineapple
On that said pizza, I relent it’s ok
Because I’m eating with you
Riverfront walking , our fears talking
Will someone mind if we kiss? It’s been
So long, that walk from the parking lot
To one of many favorite spots. Fuck’em
We dress alike but people can’t see the
Uniform we share is just smiles and happiness
between you and me.

It’s all about me
The way I’ve learned to be
Take care of myself, cause no one else will
Going ever so slowly through the fog
Legs, heart hurting from it all
Constant moving but in place
It’s hard to hold up my face
Because then you’ll see the truth
I fake it until I make it, shame there’s a
Trace would my family and friends think
Me a disgrace?
I talk and talk and talk with no much follow
Through… gotta begin anew
This prayer I Trace on my lips from my heart
Dear God,
Hear me loud and clear
I’ve walked through life with life altering fear
Trust faltered; willpower diminished
We talk a lot, my mind cloudy, mouth hot
I ask please forget me not
Things I wanna do but scared of failure
I ask for your guidance for the big step
I want to take
Be near me, talk with me
Help me understand that you help those whom
Help themselves that’s how you lend
A helping hand. Amen

Charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent
Survival of the fittest in the world today
It’s all in me, can I let it out?
Downplayed, afraid of what others may say
How can he Radiate such, such beauty,
Such grace. I mean he only takes pictures of his
Face; body isn’t perfect but folks feel he’s
Conceited because he doesn’t talk to
Everyone; Arrogant because he knows what he
Wants; speaks his mind didn’t stutter one time
Truly feeling he’s one of a kind
Took some time for him to find
The jewel that lies inside
Buried under hurt, dirt, seaweed, broken glass
Honey, insecurity and neglect.
Gentle in speech, large in spirit
I’m on my way…to be continued

I did plan it
I had no Qualm; about going through with it
The date was set
I need to get things in order
Fire up the tape recorder
Let everyone know I love them
It’s about me, wasn’t about you
Get outta my head
Build a new life
Try new things, maybe go clean
What am I trying to accomplish?
What am I trying to escape?
Sometimes I feel like it’s too late
But it’s not, it’s ego talking
Universe help me out
I wanna get these feelings out
Stuck, lost, off track, astray
Moving, found, clear, focused
It’s what I’m after…..
