Cloudy skies
The sun dies
Gentle orchestra on my window
I have fallen far below
The moist, the tears
The parade in my ears
Are we finally sober?
Or are we sobbing?
Sliding down the glass
I swear, this is my last
Until the sun has risen
To silence my siren
This rain will drop
Sorrow won’t stop.

Save a life by remembering your blessings, your faults,
And the times you denied that you ever had any
You will then understand what you see
Leave your urges on the sidewalk
Go inside the space that you created
Then create space to draw on the wall
Cut the strings of restraint from your fingers
This is what you call freedom
We are not puppets; you, a puppeteer.
Next time you lift your arm, grab the edge of a cloud
Find the message of the souls lost too soon
Maybe they found the knowledge needed To Save A Life.

So you’ve fallen.
Your bones growing weak
Flesh vividly sick.
But moments ago, you were at the peak of the world
Dominating altitudes the common thought to be uncommon.
You used to rain pride
On the bruised will and spirit
You used to matter, my black Angel
So you’ve fallen.
All your glory has plunged
If failure was the liquid, you’d be the sponge
Your wings have exploded
Ashes of patches and pieces of memory
From a time when “god” was an understatement
Drink your regrets away, my black Angel.
Until this serum floods your conscience
Beliefs that you’re still at glory
All you’ve wanted was to leave a mark
On their soul; fill their hole
Until they feel your spark
But your glory is no more.
You possess nothing but memories
So you’ve fallen, my black Angel.

Everyone who I’ve felt strongly about—whether family, friends, romantic relationships, or something in between—have all left me with something, after we parted ways, that will follow me for a long time, if not the rest of my life. As for you, it’s a few things. It’s you consistently taking the time to express gratitude for something, anything—even if it doesn’t directly impact you. It’s your care for Earth and society, even as it crumbles around you. It’s your care for yourself, too. It’s your soft touch and your admirable passion and commitment. It’s you being present. The passion and attention you give to others. You’re raw too. It’s like mama Earth made you herself, so you’re not able to be anything except for raw, natural, and spiritual. Each time that I called you pretty or beautiful, that’s what I meant. Each time I pointed out the galaxies in your eyes, that’s what I saw.
But the thing about you that I’m sure will stay with me the longest is how you always took the time to appreciate the flowers on the edge of concrete—things that the average Joe and Mary walk by every day without noticing, probably. It’s not to say that you stop to smell the roses, but it’s more that you make sure to give the proper attention and acknowledgement to the flower that push through and grew from the concrete. That says a lot about you, and I look forward to practicing that in my own life. Thank you.

Boo me
Or boo to you.
A scare-tastic fanatic,
Sometimes fantastic
Others, terror-ific.
Results of a drain in my head
My brain eaten by confusion zombies
Instead.
Due dates chasing me—
I’m due for a date with the dead if I get out of line.
Horrors I have brought upon myself
Are now awakened—all through this night.
So I’ll remain. Focused as could be
As this night prolongs. Like the sea
Until forever—until darkness forgets
The possibilities of light
Until we become:
Skeletons with webbed lamps,
Ghosts on dusty shelfs.

This poem is to empower you by reminding you that you shouldn’t just try to be like a specific person. That’s very limiting. Aim to be like them, but just so that you can surpass them! Thank you for watching!

When I say I look up to you.
I don’t mean I aspire to be like you
When I say that I look up to you
I don’t mean I follow your path,
Hoping to fall in line.
When I say I look up to you
You may ask then, “what do you mean”
If not to be like that person?
When I say I look up to you
Why should I aspire to be anything, but perfect?
When I say I look up to you
You have to understand no human is perfect
So why strive to be like one?
When I say I look up to you
I mean growth.
Which equates to making my life mine,
When I say “I look up to you”
That equates to making your life mine
Just to get my life back,
And why, would I want that?
When I say I look up to you
I mean I want these characteristics.
I want your lessons that my path in life didn’t bother
Teaching
When I say I look up to you
I mean I want that wisdom.
I want your sermon that my religion didn’t bother
Preaching
Only God is perfect,
So towards He, I aim
So when I say I look up to you
Know I only want to get better as I progress
To you. Then through you.
When I say I look up to you
Know that your success is only a level
To which I want to arrive.
Of which I want to remember.

Hello all!
Please see the video for my recent poem, “Astray Beauty” above! The poem is reminding everyone that there is no such thing as, “knowing the exact path you are supposed to be on in life”. We are all lost. We all wake up to a day without having any ideas of what it has in store for us. But, in a way, that makes life a little beautiful. That makes you beautiful.
Thank you for watching!

You are one gorgeous person
Physically.
And you are just as beautiful
On the inside, too.
You’re just a little, “not straight” in the head
But, that’s okay.
I’m not too sure of my path in life
Either.
And that’s okay.
I guess
I can go ahead and say
Someone has to have a Dangerous level of pride
To stand up and claim:
“I know exactly what path I am to be on
In this life!”
The thing about life is
There is no “straight path” to follow.
They just put you in this life
With an infinite amount of paths to pursue
While, since the beginning of it,
Everything is, in a way, persuading you
To follow a path different from the other.
Which never made it easy to choose.
So, don’t be surprised.
You’re lost.
But so am I.
So is all of us.
There’s no way someone can claim
They’ve found themselves
In this vast Earth they’ve been littered into.
But I think that’s okay.
That’s what makes it beautiful,
In a way.
That’s what makes you beautiful.
Just enjoy the process ❤
