"MY REALITY"
I CAME FROM THE CONCRETE LOST WITH NO VOICE TO SPEAK .
HOW DO I GATHER MY THOUGHTS AMONG MEN WHO ARE NOT LIKE ME.
KEEPING MY HEAD HIGH AND MY EYES LOW.
STAYING IN MY LANE ON MY PATH I MOVE SLOW.
TO KNOW AND NOT KNOW IS BLESSING WHILE CURSE.
STRANGE THOUGHTS HUNTS MY MIND AS I PRAY FOR THE BEST AND HOPE FOR THE WORST.
AS MY HEART BEAT STRAIN MY VEINS.
I LAY ON MY RACK SEEKING CHANGE TRYING TO STAY SANE.
I OBSERVE OTHERS SANITY WITH OUT JUDGEN I PRAY.
CONFINED IN A CELL BARE NAKED LIKE MY WALLS.
JUNK MAIL IS MY ONLY ROLL CALL.
REJECTION SLICE DEEPER THAN THE EYE CAN SEE.
OVERCOMEN WHAT I FEEL IS OBLIGATED TO ME.
WHEN ALL IM OBLIGATED TOO IS SELF.
AN ANYTHING THATS APART OF ME .
SO I PUT THEE FIRST AND I LAST.
AS I CONTINUE TO STRIVE ON MY PATH,
AS I LOOK AT MY PAST AND LAUGH....
CAUSE I CAME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CONCREATE
DEEPER THAN THE SURFACE BENEATH ME....
LOST WITH NO VOICE TO SPEAK...

Know Thy Self

by Jeffery Rogers (Tx)

I'll never be lonely although I stand alone

After everyone has all come and gone

For I've spent years in isolation

And on this I've given a lot of contemplation

I could be with people, that number a horde

But with every one of them find myself bored

Just because there's people all around

Doesn't mean companionship can be found

To be lonely is to be sad or depressed

But when alone, I find I am at my best

To be lonely is a frame of mind

One you must overcome in due time

You are only alone when there's no one else

But you'll never really be lonely if you know yourself

No, lonely is something I'll never be

Because I understand everything about me

Hoping you can feel me

by Martinus Sayles, (KS)

I sit alone and think of you

Hoping you can feel me

If I close my eyes before I sleep

I can see you quite clearly

Even where I am now

Where everything seems so dark

I can feel you here beside me

Tugging at my heart

Anxiously I wait to hear a precious word or two

Something to let me know

You feel me as much as I feel you

I take the blame and apologize

For these nights I've denied you

But this gives me time to love your mind

Before I lay beside you

Let me take away your pain

Wipe your tears and guide you

Let me make love with pen and paper

Before I cum inside you

I hope my words don't sound too strong

But passion has no fear

Each breath I breathe is ecstasy

That builds up through the year

There's no cure for what I feel

It's just the pain that ails me

No prescription from the doctor's

Modern medicine have failed me

And I know this is a lot to take

But I mean each work sincerely

This hungry letter sent with passion

Hoping you can feel me....

LOVE by Rogg tha GR8 (Profile HERE)

Love....What does it mean?!
More than my words can ever express...
In solid form, it's beautiful like diamonds in the sky...and forever like time...
as they say
only a Mother show's it best!
Thru good and bad, it stands...
What is love, without understanding?!
What is life, without hope?!
Meaningless...It all becomes...
For love is kind at it's purest and,

uconditional at it's truest!
Love is more than a word that is often misused without merit...
When you're loved you will truly know it
Withough question or doubt
But love I have yet to find, as my heart waits and waits, and waits...
For my callin!!

Words painted by: Rogg tha GR8

Once Blinded
By a life of wicked ways
from dark to light my vision blurs...
into focus,
behind the veil lies, a pair
of sore eyes...
My face changes...unmask
Heart beats...become heard with all to be seen
For eye still know evil, and all it's faces!
Open...
These eyes remain!
As I try to look far beyond sight..in search for something greater than myself....
