Abstract


The Beauty in my heart can only be expressed by the smile on my face... 

The Nature of my soul can only be felt by the tears in my eyes... 

The Truth in me can only be heard by the paintings of myself...

The Pain I've endure can only be seen in the minds of an artist...

The Art that I produce can only be understood by the profound...

My thoughts bleed into words as my inner self plots its escape from captivity...

Caged underneath this skin are testaments meant to be written...

Raw rare and real is how I project it...

Only the abstract in mind will embrace...

Writers Block

I'm creatively constipated
I'm emotionally exploited
I'm mentally devastated
I'm physically shell shocked

I claimed my independence
And I received severance
I mourned the loss of a god mother
And I received peace from a grandmother

Love lost
Love spent
Love cost
Love rent

Scatter brained
Not making sense
My spirit drained
My mind is tense

Creatively constipated
Emotionally exploited
Mentally devastated
Physically shell shocked

I've been trying write
I've been trying to cry
I've been trying to be happy
I've been trying too hard

Maybe not to hard
Maybe not enough
Maybe my mind is spent
I've lost my trust

I was robbed of my sanity
I was raped of my creativity
I misplaced my dignity
I checked out of reality

Reserved a table for my demons
And indulged in the past
I forgot about the present
And lost my appetite for the future

Lost interest in myself
No self esteem
No self worth
No personality

Just a shell
Lobotomized by life
Surrounded by darkness
I found comfort

Only in complete fog could I find myself
Only in this erie mist could i heal myself
In my dwellings I found a crustacean
Who shared tales of his courage and perception

He gave me inspiration
Relieving my creative constipation
Alleviating my mental devastation
Leaving me physically Inebriated

Drunk off the thrill
I regurgitated my thoughts
I filled the page with my feelings
My writers block unlocked

Creatively nauseated
Emotionally illustrated
Mentally renovated
Physically emancipated

My words were once again my words
My thoughts were once again my thoughts
My feelings were once again bleeding from the page
My pulse again quickened from the lust of the cuts

Bruises from the paper
Battle scars from my pen
My inner writer has awakened
Now let my future begin

Courage

The pain that I'm giving
The true that I'm not living
Lies that drive me through these trying days

The fact that I'm still moving
The reality that losing slowly everything around me
This was life that I was chosen
The path that I'm hoping will soon shed light

I was created in the shadows
Nocturnal by nature
Between earth and hell I dwell
Twisted and mangled by time itself

God please save me for myself
Or save me from THEM
Those who lead with no direction
Teach with no education

Prejudice without right
Write with no cause
Laws that defy my right to an emotional clause
My blood vessels burst
Under the pressures
That if I had enough courage
To say that it's day I fear

Not night

Vacant

Dear Love,

                 I miss you so much... I can't believe we lost... I thought we were going to win this one, but i guess not... I'm trying to keep it together but you were always good at putting those things into perspective... I miss the way you made me smile... I miss seeing your smile... I miss hearing your voice... I miss being able to tell you anything... I miss just talking to you... I miss your hugs........

                  I miss how you always showed up... I miss when we disagreed... I loved the challenge... I miss your passion... I miss dancing with you... I miss laying next to you... I miss being able to touch you... I just miss you...

                 Why did you have to go... Why couldn't we fight together... Why couldn't I have more time to figure things out... You were my rock... 

                    I miss your cooking... I miss listening to music together... I miss crying too you... I miss your nonjudgmental manner... I miss your love... I miss feeling your heartbeat...


I miss my Sandy

Stolen


I think one of the worst feelings is being robbed…
To have your trust stolen…
Your belongings stolen…
Your sanity stolen…
It’s almost unbearable…
I loved him…
I truly loved him in ways I didn’t understand…
And I guess what hurts the most is he didn’t love or respect me back….
He violated my trust…
Broke the treaty of our friendship…
And ultimately broke my heart…
And he stole from me…
Materials can be replaced…
My dignity cant…
Who can I blame?
Not my roommate…
I can only blame myself…
Blame myself for not being more careful…
Blame myself for not heeding warning signs…
For not listening my intuition…
Where did I go wrong?
Was it because I cared????
Maybe…
And he played and prayed on that fact…
I feel betrayed…
I feel shamed…
I feel disrespected…
I feel robbed…
Emotionally
Physically
And mentally fatigued
I can only hope that the cancer in me is not as strong as the cancer in you…
And you learn how to flush out your shitty qualities…
Then and only then can you regain a support system…
I would never wish harm of you…
But I don’t wish you well…
You robbed me…
And in return I will steal back myself…
Once a thief always a thief…
So consider our relationship stolen…

Mannequin

Am I just ears to listen…

Lips to kiss…

Thighs to grip…

Ass to eat…

Body to watch…

I thought I was human…

A warm blooded creature of the world…

But to you I'm a prop…

A bookmark in the sad story you call life…

I like a porcelain doll fragile and beautiful…

Yet cold and hollow inside…

I want to drink until I'm numb…

Pass the bottle…

Take another shot…

Flood my veins…

Awaken my soul…

Poison my mind…

With delusions that there will one day be…

You and me…

You and I…

I flip words like niggas flip their relationship status…

Master of my own craft…

My genius is in my tongue…

But alas no one hears me…

Because I am only a mannequin…

Only to be seen…

Silent…

And alone…

Mannequin…

Old friend

Hey old friend it was good seeing you…

I smiled as you pulled up

I missed you…

In ways I couldn't explain

I seen your mom…

She made me laugh

I see where you got your charm…

We went upstairs

Closed the door and surprise…

It wasn't the way I remembered it

Isn't it funny how life changes…?

But something's it stay the same

Our conversation nice and easy…

We spoke from our respective corners

But always end up coming together in the end…

I respect that

You respect me…

We kept it light

Even though thought was heavy…

Feelings of the deep depths

Neither of us have explored together…

The uncharted territories

Trying our best to push the boundaries without break…

A stress test

Or a constant battle with restraint…

We tire ourselves out

Both entangled in the webs of our bodies desires…

We sleep soundly

Safely because safety was not an issue…

I awoke refreshed

Rejuvenated …

Hey old friend

I've missed you…

Hey old friend

I've missed feeling light…

;)
