  • Trying

    A stray to this household yet we bare the same last name Confused on the apparent, I evade truth by pushing it away Just wanting to be held, cradled even, without a doubt lingering in my mind A dark figure that is of my loves seems clear yet hazy and hard to find Giving him,…

  • Safe Haven

    I’m from a bad place that I still call home I’m from the city that’s never been a drug-free zone I see Bum’s, Thug’s, Hoe’s, G’s and Scrubs I know we all human so we all need love I live for life I’m brighter than high beams I know it gets better it’s not as…

As flies pick the crumbs of buffets Closed for the brief time it takes To clean the commodes before the next Dreamers arrive to wish upon the…

  • Distortion Distraction
