I can't believe love is just a four-letter word

I feel worthless and weak
I can’t breathe
And I hate myself for it
This hate becomes fury in an instant
The only thing I want to do is punch my face
So, I punch my legs
Slap my face
Slap my arm,
I think I need something to release this stress.
Boxing would be great.
Cycling looks like fun-
Peddling and peddling with no where to run
But, there is no time.
I have no extra time.
I can get up early for a 6 am class but how about my sleep.
I’m just so tired today.
I just want to sleep.

I've been told of a path obscured.
It curves, it glides, but must be held with carefulness, I am assured.
Soon, I will understand.
No one knows it,
though its seen,
no one knows it but people like me.
We are asked to hold against our will
for pressure or love I know not still.
Though happiness is not always found,
pleasure is all around
no instructions, no guidance,
just will of the mind, being run to ground.

I've been told of a table, all round,
Used to spill, to gut, to frown
We sit at this table
Eat at this table
Guidance is fed from this table
Where ‘fuck you’ and ‘fuck that’ is truly allowed.
But sometimes you get a snitch who claims to know better
Papers say this is where you should be, this is what’s right
but that same ol’ douche bag doesn't tell the truth behind the end of a fight
so, I try to do better than just sit at the table
Maybe paint a painting
paint a painter
painting words
claiming sainthood with his sword,
forcing colors on my palette
drowning flowers with his curd
I run my mind outside to smoke
The clouds and sky guide me the most-
Ly into dreams I love to host
Those of no things and of some things

Where my rubbish isn't rubbish like the rubbish of before.

June

This is the second time I see you and you are no longer a little boy.  You're much taller, your hair, you've let grow.  You are a young man with a crown of cornrows.  We meet in the city, with your dad, at a sidewalk cafe. You walk away from my view. Maybe to pick up our drinks.  Your dad speaks to me this time. He's no longer the brooding man on the couch. Y our dads  much older since I last saw you. His eyes are droopy but they rise when he speaks of you and when he smiles. His freckles show more; on his nose bridge, on the high part of his cheeks. His dreds  are thicker but the color is lighter, like brown, smoky, dusk. His glasses are the same thin metal frames from always. He t ells me how well you're doing. How well your both doing. How everything is well. I mention your grandmother- I heard about your mom.  I reach out and place my hand over his-  I'm really sorry.  Your dad's bottom lip quivers and he gives me a nod.  You come...

Surprise

and here I was, thinking and making myself believe, many other things. when, from the beginning to the end, we have always been family and friends. -feeling thankful for the love the world has shown to me. for helping me to learn to love myself and for helping me learn to let others love me. for, we all deserve love and we all should cherise those that love us. -now, to work with my mind. to have her understand that there is love in this house, there is no danger around, and for her to feel more secure to plant herself on the warm ground. for, there is love in this house. there is love all around, whether there are quarrels or not, love is at heart.

Riding the tracks

1. Kids don’t walk the fine lines They blur through them To a level misunderstood Where some reach an edge Where elders deem stupid Because they’ve lost the scope To view the glow 2. Remember that first time When you had me shine That exhilaration of riding the line The blue that awesome night When happiness was validated Because it was shared between us I and you have grown And learned from our joys 3. God Do you’ve any idea how much I feel For you? My life is half full Because of you. I can not breath Due to you. Is there a word to describe what I feel For you? All Day Long My chest aches when I think of you Hyperventilating, my hands search the cool ground For you I lay here confused in my head Thinking over Over Over what was just said, Interpretations stop me dead 4. Shall I shut the blinds so you can admire All the lines and cracks and pores Of my home I do, too long to admire To gaze At st...
