My thirty heart yearns for expression,Burdens of responsibility, stress, and depression,Cause me to depart,From the things that hydrate my heart,Then I am reminded,Given new sight after being blinded,By some experience, direct or indirect,Called back by some effect,Perhaps some movie on Netflix,Bring fresh words to my fingers tips. Balance from chaos through little white pills,At a… Continue reading Mental Health and Art

Check On Your Friends
What if I'm fine didn't mean "okay" in words,Perhaps the truth doesn't come in verbs,My perceptions often creates a hostile attribution bias,Where my brain becomes overwhelmed by lies,Suddenly my environment no longer feels secure,A mirage of rejection and disdain begins to obscure,The view of the people I've known for years,Their fondness for me disappears. Have… Continue reading Check On Your Friends
Reminisce
It is that time of year,As the holidays draw near,Florida temps drop down to 70,Everyone seems a bit spiced with some levity,The wind blowing through the trees,The smell of the sea in the breeze,Makes this romantic heart dream,Memories on continuous stream, Marveling at this life I’ve lived,From roaming corn fields and country roads,To huffing freon… Continue reading Reminisce
Burning Inside
Unrequited love is a terribly painful thing,Don't even know why I entertain the thought,Nothing is ever going to happen,1200 miles between us is not enough,She adds her arms to extend the well and further push me away,Why do I feel so unworthy that I chase someone anyway,Insatiable urge perhaps to tan my own hide,Each attempt… Continue reading Burning Inside
Bubbles Bring Me Peace
Walking through life with rejection as a filter is rough,No return text, cancel of plans, not invited, sideways glance,Second questioning what I've done or said, Not being enough,Then I remember the bubbles...A wonderful lady once told me that everyone is in their own bubbles,On their own journeys,Sometimes your bubble and their bubble collide,But all bubbles… Continue reading Bubbles Bring Me Peace
Seeking a Feeling
The great adventure,I can see it when I look beyond my window,Cloudy skies over new horizons,Crowded dark lit rooms filled with interesting people,When I think of these scenes I realize I've already experienced them before,That is when it occurs, that it isn't a place I am seeking but a feeling,Perhaps that is all we ever… Continue reading Seeking a Feeling
Words Are Magic
The best thing about writing is you can build anything with words. They are yours and like boards put together for sale, others can choose to procure or ignore the retail. When you write, you can be outlandish and egotistic. Or factual and realistic. You can be sappy and romantic, professing love that will never… Continue reading Words Are Magic
Just a Friend
**Inspired by the song "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie Have you ever had a friend that you want to date,But regardless of the convo, she's too stubborn to reciprocate,When all you want is some slight affection,For a little mental masturbate,Each time you get together,Hands and lips tend to wander,However, it's enough to make you… Continue reading Just a Friend
Born With It
Writing Exercise - Words of the Day (04/24) One day I was born, and I came out screaming like any other human. 10 fingers and 10 toes. No indication to those around me that my sexuality was gay. "You are talking about a baby that's absurd! Kids shouldn't know about that word. School children should… Continue reading Born With It
Passing of Time
Word of the Day - Writing Exercise (04/23) Looking askance at the clock. Time is the enemy of both the young and the old. The young children protest because it moves not fast enough. Watching as it ticks down for recess, the end of the school day, the arrival of the weekend, and of summer.… Continue reading Passing of Time
