Sorry
RobbieG May 2021
To the girl last-night
You aren’t my one and only
But you are my last
Lately I have been lonely
Victim of a breakup
So thank you, for the fun
I really enjoyed you
But now I must move on
I’m to mature for this
I truly know what it is I want
I can’t keep doing this
You don’t deserve to be led on
Commitment scares me
My insecurities have deep roots
It’s nothing you did
It’s all my fault and not yours
My brain plays mind games
So when we met at the bar
The alcohol helped
To drown the pain
So who you met last-night
Isn’t who I really am
But rather a drunk love version
Now don’t get me wrong
I feel we both had fun
and enjoyed ourselves
But I can’t keep doing this to
MYSELF
So I felt you deserved an
EXPLANATION
Before I
SHUT-DOWN
turn off

Stuck
RobbieG Jun 2021
I’m in a hole
I can see the light
from up above
but yet I
remain trapped
I refuse to crawl
I ignore support
It’s just easier
to remain numb
and be the victim
down below
away from others
hidden from her
unattainable
far from reach
left to suffer
with just myself
no longer a trouble
to others or her
so I find comfort
being all alone
consumed in sorrow
feeling sorry
for myself
BITTER

Exhausted
RobbieG Sep 2021
I work little and make to much
I spend to much and spend to much time off
I need to work more and make less
I need to spend much less and spend more time at work
FULFILLED
But it must be something I love to do
But it must be something I'm passionate about
So I can have a normal schedule
So I can have a normal life
I'm tired of all the traveling
I'm tired of the uncertainty
I just want to write
I just want to love
I just want to live
I just want to
SURVIVE

Cold Reality
RobbieG Jan 2022
Hate torments lost souls, love cannot be understood genuinely to those that cannot love themselves. Buried alive in shallow graves for all to witness their flaws.
They wear their hearts on worn sleeves, covering scars that refuse to leave. Misunderstood by most, hurt by most, lost by all, no one can be trusted, no one at all.
Perpetual pain, fueled by the bitter truth and hidden beneath the comfort of the believed lies...... Life may be nonfiction, but most that live it, choose to do so in fiction!

Fogged visions
RobbieG Sep 2021
I quit blaming my eyes for I know in my heart it's my mind that makes these visions come to life

I'm scarred internally
innocent sights dissolve
against the wind of insecurities I bare

I quit blaming my eyes for I know they are just windows to the world outside, a place I create mentally

I'm scared internally
innocent thoughts dissolve
against the wind of past trauma I bare

Spaghetgi Brains 🧠

Spaghetti brains 
or maybe its a mop

pots and pans spilled 
all over the floor: bLoOd
the smell of ground beef, covers the walls, SpLaTtErEd
Or is it flesh, who knows ?
the chef is laying
on the floor, face down 
The heat in the kitchen must've been to much,  displayed by the bullet shell, Yes only one, Suicide for lunch, his life wasn't the only thing lost
but also my appetite, Gone

Her Body
RobbieG May 2021
Her hands not used for being held but rather tools used to defend herself

Her eyes not used for someone admiring  but rather tools used to view threats

Her ears not used for hearing kind words but rather tools used to detect fear

Her legs not used for being massaged or touched but rather tools used to power the run

Her feet not used for being pampered but rather tools used to separate her from him

Her mouth not used for speaking kind words but rather a tool used to scream for help

Her hair not used for looking pretty but rather tools used against her to hold her down

Her arms not used for reaching things but rather tools used to block for safety

Her back not used for being rubbed but rather a tool used to remind her of the scars

It’s no wonder she feels so unworthy and can’t seem to find happiness within herself

Every inch of her body is a constant reminder of a monster, his abuse has created

Not by her choice but out of necessity for her to be able to survive and remain alive

If only she had a better example as a young girl of how a man should really treat a woman

Then just maybe she would understand and realize that this is not deserving for anyone

You see her mother had it way worse so to her this guy seems a lot better than her step-dad

To her, she’s better off together with him, out of fear no one else could love her for who she is

When she can’t even love the reflection of herself from the images of her own body

A sad but true reality that more young ladies are living than what any of us could imagine

Question Everything

Permanent scars inside my

Permanent issues inside my head
Permanent issues outside my

Well that’s what they expect you to think
Well that’s what they expect you to see
Nothing in life inside or outside is ever permanent
Nothing in life inside or outside
can never be fixed
Permanent is permanently a lie amidst many words
Permanent is permanently an attempt to hold you back
Constantly keep growing and loving yourself
Constantly keep questioning
words with no hope
Such as : Permanent

Hereditary. Possibility
hereditary, born to it

adopted from past generations

given the facts
given the insecurities

Passed down
passed carelessly
passed with ignorance

I’m the chosen one
I’m the detective
I’m on the case

Studying myself
studying my loved ones
studying life eye to eye, face

Learning the mystery
learning The history
learning to love

Myself

Now
gone

My brain
my heart
my soul

All hurt
but not for
NOTHING

They hurt for me
they hurt for her
they hurt for them

A sign
a light
a sight

Finally I can see
finally I can read
finally I believe

Break free
break me
break from it all

Broken I was
broken I am
broken to this life

I’ll take myself
I’ll take this life
I’ll fix this mind of mine

My promise to myself
my promise to them
my promise to her

Preach
RobbieG Mar 2022
I gave up the baggage, I quit making excuses, I gave up the bottle, I'm hitting motivation full throttle and only seeking answers! 8 months strong I cannot do anything wrong, I'm collecting and erecting titles and deeds, just signed on the closing of the third property, this is who I always was but never who was seen! I'm making big moves and it feels good to have the strength, power and courage to do so! It's all just raw talent but until I lost all from the fall I could never stand tall and fearful, the confidence I have now is what I should've  been instilled with, if I had competent parents but let's not focus on the past because I decided already it wouldn't be the last to decide or hide the real me! Started with nothing in 2021 but a broken heart now it's the beginning of 2022 and I have more things to be proud of than things to not be, free is how I finally feel and the difference is the concept and mindset of: nothing seeming possible to the possibilities seeming endless, they started my life as a crime scene but I'm living it like a prayer answered, there's no limit to my self-growth or ability to become someone that should've never been a survivor but:



"I refused to be a lifelong victim, it's just not in my DNA regardless my bloodline. I refuse to be a justification to a bad statistic regardless how unrealistic that seems. The father in me that was born from teenage pregnancy rather than a man becoming a parent to me decided that its time to " MAN THE **** UP" and provide for the rest of the children to come!"

Blame Game

I gave up on god
there’s only myself to blame
I can’t trust in faith

No more asking why
no more blaming someone else
no more excuses

I gave up on god
there’s only myself to name
I can’t accept him

No more blaming him
no more defending myself
no more excuses

I gave up on god
there’s only myself to shame
I can’t avoid it

No more pretending
no more relying on him
no more excuses

Traumatized Security
RobbieG Jan 2022
"Mentality plays" roles on sexuality, what "we find" attractive may be "fueled by" encounters with trauma.

Lack of love translates to "someone who chases", much love might look like someone being "taken for granted."

These are comparisons in the "lightest form", I have alot of real life experiences with the "darkest forms." imagined

What makes you attractive is the question to "ask yourself." Make sure to "be honest!"

"Don't feel bad if" you don't  offer much, "I had no answer" when I asked "MYSELF FIRST"

you replied, that scared me
I told you it scared me too
but that side of me
IS THE SIDE
YOU BRING OUT
I told you don’t blame me
you disagreed with my thoughts
You told me you still fear me
I replied, you scare me too
Let’s agree, we aren’t
good for each-other  
I told you today
we both just needed closure
To be able move on
let not fear hold us back
But rather the doubt
that brings fear to light
You told me,
it’s time to move on
I told you, I couldn’t agree more
I’ll still miss “us”
but from the good memories
we shared
My precious
long lost love
it’s time
we both move on

Happy Feet
RobbieG Jun 2021
Boring, bland
everything planned
where’s the excitement
suspense has been
kidnapped, gone
that’s no way
to spend a life
find comfort
in the unknown
the excitement of
an undetermined variable
some might think
that notion is crazy
to move forward
with undetermined motion
but to me, it makes sense
those same people
preach faith
to believe in something
you can’t see
to each their own
not every house is a home
not every home
is a place stuck
In concrete, forced to stay
in the same place
face the facts
face the music
If the tune of the beat
you can’t move with
then you probably
need a new bucket
to carry your feats in
feast in, happiness
knowing your living
for something
YOU BELIEVE IN
regardless the criticism
of others they don’t wear
your shoes or travel
your path
they aren’t stuck
with the aftermath
the tears, fears, years
or happiness
lust, love, pain and heartbreak
so who are they to

I Woke Up Today
RobbieG May 2021
I woke up today
well **** thats a start
How optimistic I am
for I know some have not
That’s just life though
one day  you’re  thriving
The next you’re barely
SURVIVING
Today marks day 8
since I took my last sip
May not seem like much
or a big difference to some
But to me I see and notice
how little things are different
Like my watch, it’s no longer
tight on my wrist, it fits loosely
My stomach isn’t bloated
My energy does seem a little
fatigued but that’s a normal
side effect
My brain and body are used
to operating the last 11 years
on alcohol as the nightly fuel
source, so it takes some time
to shake the curse and get things back on the right course
but the good news is I’m staying strong and most importantly my subconscious is my biggest support , the same voice in my head for 25 plus years telling me of fears from a blurred childhood, failed relationships and past is my strong point now, who would’ve thought
Well today not only marks day 8 but it also marks day 1 as I’m making the leap in faith today on May 23rd to go and seek about learning about Gods word
sure I’m not excited about the awkwardness of day 1 at a new church as everyone can be cheesy and over the top but maybe that’s the wrong thoughts to have , I don’t think it’s awkward to go into a random bar in a new town and drink and dance among strangers so why are our minds programmed so different when it comes to things that benefit versus things that can hurt or be a bad influence ..... well the devil works in mysterious ways is all I can think or maybe we just don’t love ourselves enough to have the confidence to know we deserve better , well no different than a hole in the wall , the right church will take you for who you are and accept all but If they don’t then just like that bar you have had  a bad experience at you can leave and try a different one
OPTIONS , for the record I’m not a very religious person at all but I will say what’s the worst thing that comes from gathering once a week with people that all believe in a higher power and have faith versus not ? That is the question I asked myself when weighing the good versus the bad and realized the good outweighed and won, so here I go with my best foot forward , standing tall and most importantly doing it sober
Happy Sunday everyone !

Gypsy Soul
RobbieG May 2021
Couch surfing
A gypsy soul
where he goes
nobody knows
no rhyme or reason
to where he shows
sometimes uphill
other times with the flow
as he rolls downhill
with the wind or against
the seasons don’t seem
to have any effect
I’ve asked him before
what leads him
through certain doors
he just laughs and always
replies back:
“I really don’t know”
possibly his heart
a broken compass
as he allows
his various emotions
to lead the way
Or maybe his mind
like a gps device
that never quite
determines the next
location until his gut
signals this feels okay
he never makes plans
ahead of time nor will he
make long term commitments
Unless here in the now
as in right now
this very second or minute
and please be careful
because one hesitation
or a blink of an eye
and you might be disappointed
or surprised .... ****!
HE’S GONE
without a trace , no goodbye
don’t take it personal
it’s just how he lives
his life, a true traveler
this one , he’s been all over
some think he’s on the run
but he’s no criminal
he’s never hurt a fly
since one day he’s never
quite been the same
since an old flame
led him to a heartbreak
and ever since
he’s just afraid
to stay put in the same place
but who really knows
well I do
the answer is
only he does
but never will he
or atleast not now
talk about
or tell the tall tale
of the Why ?
So it’s easy to just assume
he’s a gypsy soul
floating amidst
a world unknown
trying to figure life out
Trying to find himself
afraid of hurt
afraid of pain
a victim to
a really bad heartbreak
always a town ahead
of love to come
afraid to stop
or it might catch-up
and then what ?
he’s forced to face
another chance
at life’s fate
At others hands
No thanks
not him
he’s gone
anyways

FUCK

Girls acting like women 
they look so scandalous
tempting us boyz 2 men 
creating physical attraction 
Distractions creating havoc 
they have no good intents 
only mission is to own us 
we cant break the chains 
Decades of suffering 
at their hands and plans 
but lets adress the elephant 
99'/, chance it was a man 
A father, a dad, the one 
at fault for the lack of love 
the ones that drove them mad
that made them seek out
For approval to feel worthy
handing out the only facts 
that they have lived with 
fictional love and doubt 
Their bodies pour out 
blood from their heart 
as they begin to feel 
IMPORTANT 
FROM THE LOVE 
OF BOYZ 2 MEN
through fake love 
Dont lose hope 
GOOD MEN STILL EXIST

Nightmares scare you 
but do they men
that sleep during the day 
working third shifts 
might just be 
the real nightmare 
Knowing your loved ones
are at home asleep 
by themselves 
thats no way to live 
to give or take 
the darkest hours 
from the ones 
that deserve 
your piece of mind 
for protection 
But what do i know 
i spent nights asleep 
in the backseat 
of cars 
traveling backroads 
as a kid 
with strange men 
who partied with 
my mom 
Truckstops
hotels
motels 
holiday inn 
blankets from a single bed 
make great cots 
for little kids 
more like tents 
did i pretend 
to stay hid 
from the evil sin 
If only it couldve been 
imagined at night 
when in deep sleep 
but these arent 
nightmares 
but rather 
childhood memories 
I stare in the eyes 
having to accept 
when i look my eyes
in my face 
My least favorite 
REFLECTION 
I HAVE EVER RELIVED 
I ******* hate 
the devils comfort 
I rather freeze 
to death 
than be warm 
from his flames

If I could comprehend these feelings
You
all could love me
But I
cannot
I’m sorry

It Starts With You
RobbieG Nov 2021
Compare contrast
friendships
are meant to last
not gauge

Time for time
invested
to each our own
concept

What it means
to me versus
what it does to you
different

It wieghs on my soul
it wieghs on my heart
from the begining
from the start

But who am i to judge
who am i to care
about anyone else
more than myself

Without self-love
without self-respect
we cannot elect
to love anyone else

Call it selfish
label it facetious
but its the truth
but its the reality
