Gunned down by life and heartbreaks Wanting to share my own stories Tossing gasoline onto my pages Burning hot escapades recorded by my heart Pen held by shaking hands Glued to the sheets Spilling truth and realistic fiction Dictations that noted how wild I used to be Looking for freedom inside of a broken me Laughing loudly enough to scare away the sadness that rattle these walls Making love look so small and incapable of accommodating my desires For equal opportunity Writing on whiteness while wearing black Mandating my pen to push past these difficult conversations Shorthand doesn't capture my value system A flip book of evidence leaving me standing still Injecting more strain into my veins Hangovers laced with pain Writing at least 3 times a week is fundamental to keep me from blacking out Hours gone from my brain de-escalating the madness draining the darkness So I can feel the light Traveling through time unplugged and off-line so the painful memories can't be retrieved When my body washes up on the safe shores the next morning...

The one searching for more than you already own, you will realize that it's time to reap the benefit of being alone. In this moment of silence, you can hear yourself think, you can identify the people, places and things that make you sink. You can say a prayer to God and open yourself up to receive, from the one who created you because truth be told, He is the only one who knows what you really feel and need.
