If I have just one more day
I will fight forever
Give up nothing
Till the end of my days come
I will not be afraid
I will never turn my back and run
This is the path chosen for me
I may break but never be done
Courageous
I will have faith where there used to be none
I will fight for me
I will be strong
This cancer cannot bind me
Cannot beat me down
It’s shadow will not dim my light
Until I’m 6 feet in the ground
With every single heartbeat……….
I will rise up and defy all odds
I will fight until forever
If I have just one more day
I was diagnosed with stomach cancer on April 10, 2025. Until the call from the doctor, I believed it was never going to be me, I thought I cannot get cancer. Little did I know cancer does not discriminate. It does not look at your race, gender and especially age. I am only 48 years old and I have cancer.. It is still sinking in, but this poem is how I feel about my diagnosis and my journey, I will fight until the bitter end. Cancer will have to take me kicking and screaming, dragging me all the way. I am resilient, I am strong, I want to live! #CANCERSUCKS
If you never Stand up
Show everyone who you really are
If you never give it a try
Then how will you know?
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO REALLY BE ALIVE!
Put your self out there
Plant your feet firmly
And say to the world Excuse Me
Could I have your attention please
I’ve got something to say
Come on
Don’t put it off till tomorrow
Do it today
Courageousness is the way  
Don’t be afraid
Say what you gotta say
Earn their respect
It’s not that hard
This is your show
You are the star
Stand up,
Let everyone know who you really are
What you’re all about
It’s never enough to just stand up.
You should always try to stand out!
Use your voice,
Be loud,
Be proud
YELL!
SCREAM and Shout!
You’ve got this
Don’t chicken out!
This was written as and piece to inspire someone with being afraid of public speaking, and not being too confident or sure of themselves. Thank you for reading.
theses obstructions of justice are brought upon us
by government corruption of budget
there are no shortfalls
only losses of free speech by the bulging pockets
the millions of dependents on my tax returns this fiscal cheers

rip mac miller

got the grisel from the iron when the judge let me grow
the furrowed brow don't bother no more

pay the price for my life, you the treason in my allegiance

you stuck behind the gate on my brown
counting frowns around cities broke open
for irish jazz im lately
out of ties she wants dances, im news
what we, she really looked bored, fast
the cast, of characterization
how played in and out is your plot
negated, subject, hidden minds
math's of war
outside the gert, its rude

finely tuned shelves of rules
labored doors low castle brows
santa monica mockery
venice, the property
one staircase, the roll of rocks
down the up bends of frets

haiku and voodoo laughters
scientist wrong sides of verily's prayers
I walked through this world with my arms open wide
Challenging
Trusting the signs
They had a lesson
Sharp and uncouth
Forget about Wisdom
Forget about the truth
I was bit by a dog
A dog with a rabid tooth
I blame the whole **** thing on my youth
My arms open wide I’ll tell you the truth
Lessons are learned through shadow and will
They’re not always gentle
They’re not always still
But in this moment, not in the right frame of mind
It wasn’t about the dog or the bite
But the fever that came
The broken skin
the head hanging shame
The excruciating pain
I found solace in the moment
Still Feeling naïve
Even the truest of true can be deceived
In that moment, as I watch myself bleed
The lesson became as clear as clear could be
Wisdom and truth are earned
Through blood sweat and pain
By showing up paying attention and playing the game
Always remember A rabid dog can be tamed
Please feel free to leave feedbackGood or bad about this poem it is greatly appreciated!
Laughter replaces the pain
Let us dance in the rain
Our love is the reason I stay
Your beautiful eyes have there  way
I remember them like it was yesterday
We danced in the rain and held each other close
You Took your finger and wiped the tears from my nose
You pulled me in
Held me close
You’re sent intoxicating like a rose
That is when I knew I couldn’t let go
Of a love I thought I would never know
I found it in you
My everything
Let us dance in the rain
Let the heavens sing
I pull you close
Whisper in your ear and say
I love youmore today than a thousand yesterdays
You mean the world to me and so much more
You are my best friend
The woman I adore
I want to grow old with you by my side
Turning gray as we dance in the rain
My heart filled with pride
It doesn’t get more perfect than what we have right here tonight
I promise to dry all of your tears
Even if it takes a thousand years
Thank you for being my lover
My best friend
My everything until the end
Let us dance in the rain
Right where it all began
I
wish to
make you proud,
but its never going to
be completed because I'll never-
ill never ever be enough, will I?
well... answer the question.
