How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
the world is getting too loud
have to make my heart and mind proud
go underground
read more, pray more
i feel that’s what the universe is asking for

my stories I pass
built to last
on to the new
tried and true
trying to move forward
my expectations are lowered
messing with some
keep my cards close
don’t want to ghost
but what else can I do
if you take my humanity
use it against me
and expect me to say nothing
not on my watch
clock keeps ticking
world keeps turning
who are you again?

I’m over 40
don’t know where I’m going
don’t know when it will last
the agony of regrets in my past
each day I’m given
should be worth celebrating right?
adventure about to take flight
any day now
life is mine for the taking
I’m just making
excuses.
am i lazy or unmotivated
or both
gotta shake it off
more Mariah than Taylor
made for me
life, easy, breezy
by the horns
gonna make it
so it is and it is so.
here’s the show!

growing up queer
didn’t see many like me around
is that why pictures from the past were of a frown?
the times have changed, thank god for that.
love to see it, the new generation
living and loving.

our eyes meet
i can’t speak
cats got my tongue
words caught naughty thought
can’t get you outta by brain
results are fresh
don’t want no mess
to home I go
remove my clothes
anything goes
new lease on life
must think twice about whom I bring home…….
©️MarcusCaesar

you’re perfect
you’re great
you’re meant to be here
you’re badass
you’re walking brilliance
you’re hope
you’re the future
don’t let anyone tell you differently.
-a message for myself and others

I had to getaway
the road was my muse
I refused to settle
i then met him
he paid my bills for a year
said anything you want my dear
don’t tell
it never fails
to go this route…
No feelings involved
he was my ticket here
he told me don’t worry
nothing to fear
against my better judgment
thought of him as my husband
and then everything went to hell
it started with needing bail
for what you say
I was dumb okay…
I should’ve never went announced
to be unexpected and he was undetected
was a problem for him
There was a fight
I tried with all my might
to leave him/it alone but
I felt beholden to him
saving my life in so many ways
but life needs to be golden for me
without him.
Lesson Learned

“It’s time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together to release the pressure
We need a holiday” – Madonna
on this day nine years ago, i revealed a personal truth to my parents
like pressure off your brain it was needed. My fam is low-key so it wasn’t the
biggest deal to them, but to me my world was a bit lighter . I’m proud. I’m blessed.
ups and downs both abound but I’m still trucking. Haven’t found my forever but
there’s hope. so while people celebrate the holiday of our fallen soldiers, i celebrate
the holiday of my fallen facade, lies I told to belong so long ago.

oh no
what did you wear
not those skinny jeans
with the red hair
oh no
what are you watching
tell me that’s not really boxing
there’s rules to this if you’re gonna be true to this
oh yasss
sissy that walk
talk down on others who look nothing like you
flaunt your ego and listen to Madonna it’s true
only if you’re a certain type
oh yasss
no fats no fems
don’t believe the hype
shoot your shot, might be just your type
who are we kidding
the beautiful ones do the bidding
I’m just bitter, don’t mind me
ignore all constructs and just be free.

shook up and scared
want to call someone
feels like no one cares
they say pray on it
don’t let your mind stay on it
coming out
easy for some, harder for others
mixed messages in media
i wanna use Expedia
to get away far away
fairy don’t you weep, you talented
kind, original blooming orchid
your tribe is waiting
anticipating, getting to know you
witness
for you are a gift to the world fairy boy.
