Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little?

Child, oh child,

Am I raising you well?

Do you like it when I wrap you with heavy blankets and soft pillows?

I'm sorry I don't bathe you often enough.

I'm sorry I don't feed you on time.

But, please understand, it was what I used to get in my days.

I love you, though it wasn't something I got.

Is that enough?

For me, it was the only thing lacking.

Voiceless child,

I hear your cries.

I hear your pleas.

I try to help.

Sightless child,

I'll be your eyes.

I'll tell you what is

wrong and right.

Overhearing child,

I'll cover your ears.

So you do not hear

what your father says.

Broken child,

I will love you.

Crying child,

I will hug you.

Lonely child,

I will try,

try to heal you, try to raise you.

Even if you exist

In a mirror only.

Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company.

From a lover to the hater i am

I hate couples

I hate happy couples

Yea, its resentment.

But why does a romantic relationship with a person have to be the pinnacle of human relationships?

Why do people pick their partners over their friends? (Im guilty of it as well)

I hate watching you kiss in public. Your handholding makes me sick and id like to see your happiness crumble and rot.

I dont need anyone

Still trying to find my own feet to stand on

Why cant i tell you that it feels like youd pick your partner over a dear friend any day of the week.

Why am I a plan b from when your partner cant make it over?

Why am I so bitter when I was once so full of love

I'm Lazy and Tired

I'm lazy to make life with others

I'm tired of trying to be with someone

I'm lazy to think about myself

I'm tired of thinking of someone

I'm lazy to smile

I'm tired of faking happy smiles

I'm lazy to cry

I'm tired of crying to someone

I'm lazy to communicate

I'm tired of catching someone's feelings

I'm lazy to play

I'm tired of someone's mixed signals

I'm lazy and I'm tired

I'm lazy to find someone who cares

I'm tired of finding someone to love

I'm lazy for myself, I'm tired for everyone

there is a stationary shop

near my grandparent’s house

the owner has known me

since i was five

and he has watched me turn into an artist

from the child who couldn’t color inside lines

he sold to me my first sketch book

where my forgotten dreams stay

forever etched; he gave to me the calligraphy pens

i now use to sign my name

on paper to mark my place

like, if there is a home for my being

it’s in the papers that will eventually wither away

the pieces of my childhood

that litter my parent’s house

make me wonder if there was a different person

living inside me, present with no sound

ever since i was fourteen

my mind seems to have gone sinister

i write about dark worlds and scarred wrists

and i only draw with black-grey hues

am i the person i was just yesterday?

or already the person i would be tomorrow?

are the pictures my parents keep of me

a reminder of growth or a reminder of grief?

does the owner of the stationary shop still see the little girl who liked coloring skies

instead of a woman whose mind was a battlefield?

In the end, all I learned was how to love somebody, even if you can't be with them.

On loss

"Because the truth is - we never really lose the people we love. They are in the sunsets, and in the rain, and in the forests, and the laughter, and music that takes out breath away. We never really lose their love, their beauty, because that energy doesn't disappear - it finds new ways to reach you. Pay attention." - B. Sparacino

"On my silent days I miss you a little louder" - C. C. Aurel

"I miss her all the time I know in my head that she is gone The only difference is that I'm getting used to the pain. It's like discovering a great hole in the ground. To begin with, you forget it's there and keep falling in. After a while, it's still there, but you learn to walk around it." - R. Joyce

"I don't like how endings in real like come on so suddenly without making sense, without much warning. One minute you're in the middle of something and the next it's all a very long time ago and you're a different person… and none of it's coming back." - Anon

"Sometimes I miss you more than I remember you" - O. Vuong

"There was a before you and there was a during you. For some reason I never thought there would be an after you. But there was, And I was in it. I'll be in it forever." - C. Hoover

Nicotine

I feel your fingers

lingering on my skin

and I can't get rid of you

I burn my lungs

cause your loves a drag

and you're worse than nicotine

I taste you on my lips

and I wish I could get rid of you

I'm going numb

I'm losing to the reminisce of your love

I'm going numb

Your loves a drag

just give me one last hit

and then I'll let you go

Baby, you're worse than nicotine.

The Protector

When do you realize it’s time to let go or forgive?

This hatred I have can’t subside.

She was supposed to protect me.

But she threw me to the wolves and laughed as I fought helplessly.

I should be used to this by now but I’m not.

I’ve always fought for myself and others.

It’s all too familiar.

The levels of brutality that I’ve experienced aren’t normal.

When I see who I was at 10 and compare him to me now at 33, I’m scared.

So much has happened to me.

I’ve done so much in the name of survival.

I’ve done so much in the name of fear.

I’ve done so much in the name of love.

I’ve done so much in the name of hate.

I’ve done so much in the name of ignorance.

When I left my father’s house, all the bad shit in my life happened.

I was placed somewhere so far away that he couldn’t reach me.

He couldn’t hold my hand.

I couldn’t hug him.

He couldn’t make me chili.

He couldn’t sit next to me so we could watch movie marathons anymore.

I was so alone.

I was so scared all the time.

But I held it all in because I thought I was being a man.

I thought I was being tough.

I thought I was being a soldier.

I thought I was being him.

I was say to myself, we gotta be strong like Mikey and Dad.

We can’t cry because Mikey and Dad don’t cry.

We gotta be like them.

And just the thought of that makes me cry now.

I’m a 33 year old man and part of me wishes I lived with him.

Then my childhood would never end.

Sure, I’d still work but I’d still have those years of protection from my dad.

I could still run home when I’m sad.

I could still hug him when without having to explain.

Because he would accept it.

He would accept me.

He’s always accepted me, even when I didn’t think he would.

I feel ashamed sometimes when I think about those times.

Because I doubted him.

And he never gave me a reason to doubt him.

When he wasn’t in reach, he was a call away.

Even at work.

He’s getting older now.

I know he’s taking care of himself because that’s just who he is.

And my mom would kick his ass if he didn’t haha.

But it just reminds me that time is precious.

TIme is important.

I’m just afraid.

I don’t want my hero to die.

But heroes can’t die.

They live on.

They’re larger than life.

I always introduced my friend’s and partners to my dad as dad.

Because he’s just so awesome to me that I want everyone to share him.

I want everyone to know what it’s like to have a cool dad.

Who dances, drinks beer, raps, cooks, listens to Earth, Wind and Fire, cracks jokes and taught me how to see the different layers in music.

That last one I want to credit towards his little brother, my Uncle Kyle haha.

But you’ll hear more about him another time.

But for now, I gotta go.....
