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

the person they see
when they look at me
who is that I wonder
depression please don’t take me under
fake it till I make it
persona cracked won’t break it
time to find my joy
one less lonely boy
©️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.

take that step
make that move
connect to the universe
for guidance
open up to the possibilities
words for myself

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.

Sometimes I sit and wish I could freeze time right where I am. That way I’ll never lose all of the lovely things that are around me. But time keeps going and things keep getting lost. But I’m still living because something new and beautiful is going to come around eventually and that right there is something to stick around for.

drip drip drop
wash it away
hard times come again no more

lost another friend to the virus
confronted with mortality
makes me feel
too much
masculinity makes me want to hold it in
crying under my skin
go away virus
you’re taking so much away
the universe has picked me to stay
I wish I can take your pain away
make it vanish.
