somehow you have
climbed inside of me
and festered
infecting me
with this thing
called love
as i resisted
you persisted
breaking down my walls
of generational curses
healing
every trauma
i had withstood
you understood
that beneath the surface
i was a soul
whose intentions
were good

always been a lone wolf
howling at a full moon
wondering will i find
my lover soon

always been the best man
have yet to be the groom
please baby
get here by noon

i dream about you
but i never see your face
whenever i think of you
my heart begins to race

been searching all over the place
but is it you i really want
or do i just enjoy
the chase ?
AUTOPHOBIA is the fear of being alone or lonely.

that no good man
of mine
stays returning unannounced
every time i think i
got rid of him
here he comes
knocking on my back door
sometimes he lets himself
in
i forget that he always
has a spare key
i change the locks
he just gets a new key
in the past
i would give it
to him
then i started hiding it
he found it every time
he breaks in now
with no shame
laughing at my pain
tormenting me
such a *******
he always finds me
no matter how many times
i run away
depression is real. love yourself & others through it.

placed flowers
on my grave for the final time
accepting that my casket
was empty
only storing
my former self
my shadow
i had risen
becoming one with the sky
elevating effortlessly
towards the sun
growing rapidly
the time i wasted
mourning the past
cannot compare
to the joy that
cometh in the morning

we are
ONE
we are
unique
we are also
one of many
our presence is needed
for the greater good
love your neighbor
become selfless not selfish
healing
a new earth
will not come to pass
until we polish
the golden rule

pray
talk
cry
love
***
laugh
your way through it...
...whatever "it" is

no good at taking criticism
not because i am perfect
only because my efforts
are worth it
i possess a fortitude
that is quiet yet vigorous
seemingly passive
when in fact i am passionate
incredibly willing
to go the distance
pursuing the desires
of my heart
with a herculean
durability
that is the envy
of many
let me be
for you will see
i am giving up a lot of
the unnecessary
in order to be free
