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.

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
©️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.

everyday we get up
rise to the occasion
sometimes it’s amazing
until it’s not.
we try our best
put on our super-hero chest
fake it till you make it
the chain is stronger than you think
i realize everyday it’s how you think
thoughts become things
it’s time to think great thoughts
try it, it’s you.

nothing
breathe in the moment
stay present
will be all that I can be
but also give myself grace
playing in the face of adversity
I/We will survive.

Nobody wants to do it- not real change, not soul change, not the painful molecular change required to truly become who you need to be. Nobody ever does real transformation for fun. Nobody ever does it on a dare. You do it only when your back is so far against the wall that you have no choice anymore.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
