lights up
showtime
get in line
greatest show on earth
watch the birth
of the mood, of the moment
don’t mind the lights
it’s the story they tell
I know it well
you me together again
1 year on, 1 year off
it’s time for my heart to go soft
last time I come around
you want to know what I’ve found?
Peace

traveling from state to state
there’s no debate
dropping those draws
nameless and shameless
one life to live
can you give some grace?
I didn’t learn the right way
relationships never smooth they say
so I go from bed to bed
hoping to heal the dead
monotony inside of me
judge if you must
but trust I’m having a great time
or am I lying?

we take pills to heal
we breath to stay alive
we fuck to make babies
or make love, same diff
we stay in relationships
we are inauthentic to be liked
we know wrong but do it anyway
see the title of this poem.
©️MarcusCaesar
Fast forward to when I have peace
the least of my problems
is fear
no dear, I don’t want the trauma
of overthinking, situations
that’ll never happen.
I wanna let it go
I wanna just be like the title.

you know when you feel different
look different and hope different
life’s not a joke and you hope
that change will come?
you master the everyday
hoping not to blow away
this is me
and I think
God, show me how good it can get!
©️MarcusCaesar
love/hate
I debate
giving it up
the social media
I compare
sadly stare at
all I’ve wanted my
body/life to be
someday I’ll be free?
©️MarcusCaesar
these days blend together
most of them not good
is it my chosen path
or where I want to go
i don’t know
©️MarcusCaesar
the days can be long
the feelings can be treacherous
but at the end, you lived.
©️MarcusCaesar
looking up
after being down so long
get off the phone
only comparisons lurk
when will I learn?
©️MarcusCaesar
are you doing all that you should
is time on your side?
as I talk to myself
I also need to listen.
