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…..

I want it. I need it.
My breath I can see it
The victory can taste it
The solitude I face it
Unshakable the drive
Too bad I hold it deep inside
So many roads to take
Can’t I just choose one avenue and be great?
Unwavering in my approach
Determined in my education
Learning as much, as fast as I can
Trying to be great, not mediocre man
Take it seriously but not so seriously
Take it easy but don’t be easy
To be fooled into doing things that
Take you off your path
I will succeed, thrive
I will survive, strong-willed
Practice makes perfect
Comparison may be certain
Tho Tenacious I deserve this
A life I love ❤️

What would you do if it came to you?
Would you give it away, drink it away
Use it to slay all the demons that may
Come in the night, taking all of the light
Buy a new house, get up off the couch
Make your dreams come true
Give it away to family or charity
To some they are one and the same
Use it to shift blame
On all the horrors the world see’s
Feed a hungry country, feed a hungry soul
They say money comes with problems
They say money solves all problems
Do you listen to what they say?
Hide away, maybe change your name
Help take care of some of the pain
Of comparison, of ego, of wanting, needing
Be chill, buy a car, a significant other
Would it teach you to love one another
A Fortune like this could change ones life
Enhance it, break it down
Get the tools make it last, time goes fast
One day your broke, next day you’re rich
But it’s hard to fix
What’s all inside, nope money can’t hide
So what would you do?
Would you let this money handle you?

Guardian Angel hear my plea
Come rescue me
Depression has come calling
Loud, strong, impressionable
Feeling stuck, caged in you could say
Tell me something, make my day
Brighter, sunnier
Love letters to my heart
An elixir for my woes
Deep thinking, contemplating
Just letting go, leaving it all behind
Comparison is death at my age, any age
Oh sage, walk with me, talk with me
Give me the magic to mix this life
Into something I’d love, even like
Grant me the greatest gift
Of being able to see the world in all
its glory, is it by telling stories?
One year older, hair a bit grayer
I would like a sign for the piece of mind
To move forward knowing that life can be a
Challenge and the storm I’m in won’t always
Be this way, oh heavens I pray 🙏🏽
Your Elixir would be most helpful whatever
It may be, I kneel and bow to thee.
Be the guide.

“I believe in miracles, cause it’s a miracle I’m here.” -Emeli Sande
Born day is here and the feeling is mixed
I’m blessed to have what I have
Meet the people I’ve met
Traveled to the places I’ve traveled
There is something I wanna do
Live in another place, get another grove
Find love with another + myself
Follow my true path
Be that media mogul, makes dreams come
True, even mines
I pray this year brings a Desire to live
Fully honestly and without hesitation
With that sentimental crap outta the way
My attitude remains
