A Hustlers Prayer

Dear heavenly father 
I pray to you now, 
submitting myself humbly 
with my knees on the 
ground……
I know you seen the 
times I messed around claiming that I knew 
you but threw your 
name to the ground, understanding why 
you cast upon me 
your frown.
I don’t deserve 
nothing more, unless 
its your anger a 
fury of course.
I’ve done so wrong 
yet you continue to 
let me go on, why 
you choose my life 
to have such a 
hold on.
Show me my purpose 
if its good I'll 
accept it if it’s 
bad I deserve it.
I’m still young and 
not very wise I 
believe it’s the 
reason why I put 
on this disguise. 
You know which one, 
it fights a lot 
and plays with guns.
Lord you know how 
I can rid of this, 
yet you give me freedom 
of choice and a bad 
decision is what I’m 
left with.
Your angels constantly fighting to protect 
me, set me free from 
this evil and let 
my love shine for 
thee.
If not than help me proceed to things that 
are right and not 
wrongfully, to help 
me make a decision 
willingly and not 
end up beat up and 
battered spiritually.
I try to pray out 
loud lord you know, 
but my feelings are 
at there utmost when 
I write to you 
through the Holy Ghost.
Lord hear my cries 
and have mercy, let 
me drink from the 
spiritual cup, please 
I'M SO THIRSTY!!!

Conversation With My Weakness

Can you hear me?
Can you taste me?
I know you yearn 
just for the smell 
of me.

Don't fight just pick 
me up, tilt me 
over so you can 
fill up.

Don't stop, what for? 
With me theres always 
room for more and more.

Regardless of what you
think I'm everywhere, I 
sense your weakness through 
your digestive stare.

It starts with the 
thought of me now 
your begining to consume, 
and I enjoy as 
your pain starts to resume

No one can stop 
me regardless of what 
you thought, I'm the 
beast that destroys and 
brings down your fort.

It's funny cause you 
know my secret yet 
you act like you 
don't, from me to 
you I can't care 
and I surely won't.

Others probaly wonder who 
am I? I was the 
one casted down from 
the sky in the form 
of a bottle I 
simply destroy lives.

It's so wonderful that 
you already know this, 
yet the choice you 
make is to give me a kiss.

The love for me 
is so strong, you 
try to turn away 
but seriously for how long.

I wish I can 
say with me you'll 
win, nope. No life, 
no love, just me 
and sin.......
My conversation with hennesse 
and gin...

The Burst of the Inner Bubble

Inside there’s a bomb 
I can’t seem to 
diffuse, I try to 
put a name on it 
but it seems there 
is no use.
Is it stress, turmoil 
or my internal abused, contemplating this I 
seem to be confused. 
Knowing I’m smart 
yet I feel like 
the common fool.
One that can’t seem 
to grasp a simple 
concept, keeping 
it in the dark 
cause to be viewed 
like this by others 
has given me a 
complex.
Visions of me hanging 
by my neck in a 
slow suffocating 
death, acknowledging 
that this inner 
bomb has its time 
set.
Hoping for accomplishments before people stand 
over me and pay 
there respect, in 
life I never received 
nothing except this 
inner demon I choose 
to create and accept
May the Lord at 
least at that point 
bless me with 
eternal rest…

Wishful Thinking

The most fascinating of things that are divine, 
is the creation of 
those with the 
ability to fly.
So free to soar 
with the wind through 
there wings, as they 
float above the earth 
so nonchalantly.
I wish an angel 
I can be, so 
like the birds I 
can spread my wings 
and become free.
Free of troubles 
ridding me of all 
pain an agony, how 
I long for peace 
among my family.
Realizing to 
obtain serenity we 
need understanding, 
through it all 
I maintain 
my own sanity with 
hopes of change with 
my thoughts that’s my actuality…
