My brother
My brother is my keeper
My brother is my best friend
My brother is my pain
...

Livin in anger
Anger that has no ending
Anger that has no fear
Anger that has no wants
...

Why am I so evil?
Is it because of bad things I do to others?
Is it because I curse
Is it because I have sex
...

Love is like a rose you pick on that great spring day
It has life love fullness and gratefulness
It opens your mind and sees real beauty
But love is like a rose
...

Just last night I got a call
It was poetry saying please come home
I replied back that I am retired and done
It said please, please come back
...

I sit here
With hate and anger
Wondering and pondering among the stars
To tell me what to do
...

Don’t waste my time
Keep moving,
I don’t want to talk
You talk about nothing
...

A dream
Dreams are the essence of life
Within the lines of happiness
It takes you to place you have never been
...

I am afraid to sleep at night
For I have a feeling that he might bite
I see him in the day time
In the shadows waiting to snatch me from my life
...

I see her everyday
I am to scared
To speak one word
I know she likes me to
...

As I pray day in and day out
I pray that one day I will go to his house
For no one can stop me from getting there
Accept for myself that I will not allow
...

The leader dat I really like
He uses power to show his might
He once was a criminal dat would always fight
Steal and rob to get through the night
...

I said my first prayer
In months that have come
It was well worth it
I spit up the bad thoughts
...

I wake up
I go to sleep
I eat
I eat
...

I write poetry
To breath
To breathe the air of life around me
That replenishes my soul
...

My life, My life, My life
It has changed
Changed because of a special person
She is my girl, my lover, and my wife to be
...

My tear drop
Full of pain
Full of sadness
Full of hate
...

I still standing
I am still here
I been through deaths
I been through fights
...

The day i lost my emotions
I walked out the hospital turned my head and Boom
A man shot in the head
Blood and brains splattered all over my face
...

My friends
My family
Where are they now
I am in a eternal darkness with no sound
...
