The thought crept in & came
Of how I play the game
X rated & profane
Verbal abuse and shame
All ticking on the clock
As I beat the time
Redefining the best
The least understood
By members of the brotherhood
All in good standing
Bloody handshakes surround me
The white cloth
Soaked blood red
The victim at the stake
Naked & dead
Shedding her skin
For his pig mask
The task of skinning
While grinning
Laughing up a storm
With scorn
Sworn by oath
Taking notes
Of how not to float

The High Priestess teaches me
And has for years
She lets me know
I’ll be alright
Always telling me to put up a fight
Spirituality is what I seek
Even if I am looked at like a freak
Knowledge of our ancestors
Passed on through centuries
I strive for harmony
Which, for me
Comes through sobriety
And being alright with me
Accepting life positively
Looking for lessons
In everything
I know I am capable
The start is sobriety
The fight between my heart and head
Because my head wants me dead
The elders led me out of the dark
And the disease is like a hungry shark
Waiting patiently
Stocking me
Watching me to see if I’ll slip

#sobriety
Time spent writing
Is a form of fighting
Electric lightning
Flames rising
From the abyss
Judas’ kiss
The lips of venom
From the girl
In the light blue denim
If I only had a clue
Of what I was getting into
I would’ve thought
I’d never make it through
Getting in a relationship with you
I knew you were trouble
Thought we’d make a perfect couple
But the pain doubled
Every mistake I made
Making it worse with words
Going insane
Being your slave
All my heart, I gave
Ridiculed & shamed
I started digging my own grave
Hating hearing my name
#poetry
This I know
My friends are true
They love me for me
And help when I’m blue
We talk much
Such a beautiful thing
Speaking thoughtfully
You’ve got my back
And I yours
Opening new doors
Of life unseen
Thee ultimate team
Taking life on seriously
With all the calm and all the strife
We’ve got each other
How we like
Together in care
I swear I’m there
Even if it’s not fair
I’ll grab a chair
Sit and listen
Watch the tears glisten
Down your beautiful face
We put each other in place
Never holding back
Hearts strong
For the next attack
Crack a joke
Smile with me
Let’s enjoy being us
And being free
#poetry
Thanks for having me here
First I’d like to make clear
Some of my fear
Being stuck
In the same cycle
For miles
Missing moments
With family
Because of an altered reality
Failing myself
Sleeping my worries away
And no play
I get in my head
To much that I shed
Thoughts of being dead
I want to be remembered
As a beautiful man
Whose life didn’t go according to plan
After the storm
A calm period of rain
Tear drops of joy
From lessons of pain
The story goes like this
Meeting a miss
Gave her a kiss
She’s fine
Do you think she’d be my valentine
Could we combine
And make 3
A little baby
Birth
Feeling of worth
Cutest thing ever on earth
She’s my little girl
Dirty blond with curls
Blue eyes
That look like the sky
Now I know why
I’m here for her
We’re family
And meant to be
