I enjoy reading free verse poetry but have never liked the way I wrote it. It would always seem sloppy and like something was missing. Despite my critical eye I have written this free verse poem. I enjoyed creating it but the occasional rhyme still leaped out from time to time. I hope my readersContinue reading “Greed & Corruption”

Come Home To Your Words
Reblog: Not my words, but a wonderfully written master piece. There’s a door I’ve been avoiding, painted white with years of silence, and you know the one I mean— the one that creaks when I approach with trembling fingers wrapped around a pen that’s forgotten how to bleed. I stand before this threshold now, myContinue reading “Come Home To Your Words”

Hit The Kill Switch
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Relax and release.How is it I find peace? When the day draws nigh,and the sun drops low in the sky. Why my brain is fuzzy and my body worn,but inside my brain is torn. Do I lay downContinue reading “Hit The Kill Switch”

No matter the struggle, no matter the pain,I will forever call upon Your name. I’ve had highs and I’ve had lows,but everyday I chooseContinue reading “Peace”

The other children would laugh and stare,Continue reading “Sparkle”

Without Ceasing
What sacrifices have you made in life? What sacrifices have I made in life? I wasn’t sure how to answer this question. When words escape me, I use rhymes to bring clarity. Here is a poet’s twist on today’s prompt. The sacrifices of a mother never change. They only transform with each passing age. OneContinue reading “Without Ceasing”
Homeless
It lights out but not for me, I have no control over the electricity. I bury my face into my hood The only place I possibly could The cold it bites,especially during the night.I wrap tightly in a sheet My stomach craving meatMy body, yearning for heat.It’s no joke living on the street. Warmth isContinue reading “Homeless”

The content taught in schoolsare made to create fools. The truth hidden away only accessed by who they say. The elite control every aspectbut they lack empathyContinue reading “False Stories”
