I Come From Pain
I come from pain
It's an eternal pain
That's a symbol of my reasoning
and how I became a man of no blame.
The pain from rejection and the physical bloodstains
It's like my soul is like brick it can withstand hurricane rain
My skin is so soft and my...
To Be
Are you able to help me, can I be helped?
Do you, would you, happen to know
A way to realize what is felt?
You can’t see within the depths of me
To the center of my being, but
There...

They weren’t just words. They were knives that stabbed me in the heart words that you assumed were my endurance.
My hope was fading away but I kept my chin up high and proud. For I shall have nothing to disowned. Every broken piece I carry with my stake shall not be...
I Can Make It Anywhere
You can make it in this world
All you gotta do is try
Sometimes the truth hurts
So it’s easier to lie
I don’t wanna know where we go when we die
That’s why I say see you later, I don’t say goodbye...

“Wha Yoo Doo?”
Two Hundred-Fifty words to express my emotions
Spilling through the pages with conflicting commotions
Do stars dance together upon the Knite Sky
What sort of spirit connects us, between you and I
Beyond the Mortal Eye
I let my heart extend...
Fires That Melt The Frost
Gone from this world cocooned in a shell
So close yet so far from freedom in this cell
Time creeping slow like a crippled snail
No bail stuck in this lava laced hell
Left to stare back at those eyes in the mirror
Loneliness.. Pain.. and Fear

Mid-Wake Thoughts
I remember nights when I got caught up in they aim
Late nights to early mornings I was caught out in the rain
I used to run around, fists out tryna find out who to blame
Had to push-up every evening gotta workout

True Love
All my life family and friends
Tried to change me,
While at the same time
Telling me that they love me;
But, if they truly love me
Then why do they try so hard
To change the way I am?
For if they truly love me,
Then they would’ve...
Winning Is Achieved
Winning is Achieved
Somewhere along the line you change
And when things get hard
You start looking for something to blame like a big shadow.
Well, let me whisper something you already know
The world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows
It’s a very mean...

Why am I dying to live? Being carried by God, doing this lifetime bid. Running wild in these streets, just trying to survive. Tuck my tail, or do I go the extra mile? We have no morals, or do we play by our own rules? Now there’s plenty of food. I’m losing focus because I’m high, so do I go...

We must educate ourselves
By learning all that we can while incarcerated
Then we must employ our education
Exploiting it to the point to the point that it becomes a slave to our success
In this way
When we have the opportunity
We can give back what...
In the Midst of the Storm
In the midst of the storm
Love care, and concern will
Always prevail; so for one
That didn’t know – please do
Tell.
In the midst of the storm
The rain, the cold, the lightning,
The loss, the fear, the uncertainty
Will always be...
Concrete & Steel
The pouring of slabs, beyond a boulevard or avenue, unbreakable; Withstanding an attempt to bend.
Also known as the “pen”, a conglomeration of people’s families and friends. The law becomes broken, and they’re ushered in.
Over a period of years, the concrete becomes hard on one’s...

A wrongful conviction
Is usually on purpose
A wrongful conviction
Never helps, but only
Worsens
The conditions of a person,
Or a people for that matter.
A wrongful conviction mistreats
Both parties involved.
They both...
Dear
Do you have any care and concern for the imprisoned? If so, I’d like to be your friend. Do you understand that there are innocent individuals behind bars? If so, I’d like to be your friend, because I’m one of them.
Has anyone behind bars ever tried with your feelings and...

Broken
I am a prisoner in my own mind
Suicidal thoughts from depression
Since birth I was neglected
I was never accepted, only rejected
How do you thrive in a world that’s so selfish?
How do you react to love when you’ve never felt it?
Only I know my...

Her grip was strong
And looking back, in hindsight I recognize that
It wasn’t quite her who clung so tightly,
But her heart that held on…
Me, never asking to be left alone,
But wishing to love her at arm’s length
How could I imagine that because...
Self Love
They say that self love is the only love that you need,
and as I, search for the love of another human being,
I bleed,
I, wholeheartedly disagree,
I, wake up in cold sweats as I shake,
Noticing it's not me but the earth that quakes,
Because self...
Mail Call
Every day they post a list.
Every day I check to see if I’ve been missed.
Guys getting letters from their girls saying how they miss their hunks.
As I sit here feeling so alone on my bunk. Christmas and Birthday cards arriving from loved ones.
As I try to keep my...

All these drugs together can’t mess with me
I know I sound arrogant and gotta lotta confidence in myself
But I’ve ripped apart homes like tornadoes, making them take the family portrait off the shelf

Emotions
Things I can’t explain
Fear
Things I can’t attain
Love
Things I can’t live without
Hate
Things I can’t understand.
At the end I fear
These emotions
These things I can’t explain
This love

All things happen for a purpose and reason, just as God made the world and change of the seasons. Even my heart bleeding from this pens ink to this paper your eyes were chosen to read them, so these words from God threw me, I can give ones life a whole new meaning. Something to show, so you...
A Part of Me
A part of me wakes up hoping this is just a bad dream
A part of me daydreams about the past
A part of me wonders in this crazy world how long I will last
A part of me regrets growing up so fast
A part of me dwells on getting another chance
A part of me just feels...
Journey Ahead
The journey ahead is a long road with an unknown destination,
Filled with twists and turns, and lots to learn in multiple locations,
Leave one spot then it’s onto the next, let your mind be your navigation,
That way you always know what to expect,
Because you only...

This was a beautiful birth where the grass was greener the air was fresher,

Love was unlimited
Whereas my Queens were the foundation

Sounds Within
Sounds Within by John Carey
As I sit in the darkness of my caged-in hell, I listen to the rasp of sounds that never go away. The tempest of violence, and the forces that drive it. Desperate souls pitched into a fiery grave. Sounds of terror, loneliness, pain, and despair. All echo...
A Froze Life
A Frozen Life
As the days passed, I despise the path I've chose
It's like a gunshot when I hear my cell door close
I suppose my life is froze but deep within I know
There's more for me to control
Take control of my life and grab the wheel with both hands...
