      cause I fear staying will only break me quicker
        I'll snap like a twig 
            therefore...

DURING MY WORLDLY TRAVELS, I MET ARTHUR ITIS. 
   TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH HE WASN'T THE BRIGHTEST.

Child if you don't get yo nappy head;

Thin are the lines between love and hate,
  Between life and death...
  But I'll tell of your fate
  With my dying breath...

I open my eyes wide
 To see through the windows of my soul 
 All those long nights I've cried

It’s good to take precautions
When you’re going on a trip – 
Umbrella, bug spray, meds will ease
Your mind when in your grip.

Yet even if you’re more prepared

The future...

I spit game proper, like a pro-batter, I got the right stroke
I work deals, like it's Black-Friday, I'm far from broke
I can't help but make the girl proud and gay
Want some of my time, like takes, you too gotta' pay

She don't act up, but she's...

I write like bakers bake
my rhymes make earth shake
Going into contest with me was your biggest mistake
I control the earths plates, tectonics, your rhymes are bollocks

I'm going back...

who had been knocked down by a sizeable margin,
not that his bank account would show low returns.
He was a wealthy man.
Quiet and calculative at the poker table.

Slightly overweight and sporting a lumpy tummy,
he...

Do you think you can do anything you want to?
You can my friend
But do you have to?
No
You don't have to do anything
Not if you don't want to
God does not force you
No matter what He tries
God cannot force anything on you
God gives us free will
And He...

Depression can't be seen, yet he follows me everywhere
You can't see him beating me down and taking away my strength
I feel it everyday, he makes me act up and brings me to tears
He laughs at me for my frustrations and failed suicide attempts

I was numb...

I’M A DOG NOW
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I’m a dog now I once was a tree
In my other life I had no one but me
But this time around I’m petted and groomed
Better than pelted by a tropical monsoon
I’m in a farm house where life is so sweet
My...

My mind is as hollow as the dead of night
My spirit is dancing out of cheer and fright 
My soul is shattering because I’m too late
To talk about what’s on my mind these days– 
In love with your love, demolishing the hate

My mind is like...

Charley was being obnoxious so I took away his hedgehog,
it’s such a small toy anyways for a big Doberman dog.
A spoiled rotten boy who whined for an hour or so
hoping to get his way and that hedgehog I’d throw.
I wondered inside just how long could...
