Facing Greatness

I walk in the light n cast uh shadow I might…fight through the rain just to gain sight my flight is delayed as I develop into the ace of spades I made progress, but only 2 barricade  from the world I hurled as the world swirled n tossed n turned then burned yet I learned from the mistake to quake the world n shake the heavens as my blue print is laid out I played out how to sweep my mistakes n raise the stakes as God views my destiny n graces the rest of me the best of me is out in the light to be seen n judged I nudged my conscience to make sure I’m still grounded as I float to the top I drop all the weight then I stop n think of my plan at hand I land where I have room for my wing span I can say that I’m ready to rise to the occasion and crumble the past under me like uh Haitian…

Deception Is a Cancer

Deception Is a Cancer

By Daniel B.


There is so much black and grey in the deviant month of May.

The first to the ninth has me relapsing on everything she would say.

The hour glass has tipped and there is misery all around me.

She has me in one hand, while in the other she is trying to drown me.

I’m coughing up my lungs and I’m getting sea sick from the motions.

This boat is about to crash and I’m going through the notions.





My mind has so many thoughts that my brain can’t hold them all.

So many sad and ill thoughts that I have to carve them in the wall.

Wondering why things can’t go back is out of the question.

Wondering why I let her do it is the question.

I’m placing the nail in the coffin to keep her out of my life.

She cut her wrist on deviances’ sharp knife





The sickness has got me laid up in the hospital.

And her deceitful ways have got me chasing a fake riddle.

How can I run or walk away when I got no legs to stand on?

Before, she threw me in with the dogs with no table to stand on.

I step into her world and it’s a black tie event.

I found an early eviction note that this place was up for rent.




I got proof for those who doubt and I’ll gladly state my case.

But don’t swear in with your right hand and lie to everyone’s face.

I’m going to stick to my roots and say the truth will set you free.

How the hell do you think I feel when there’s another guy besides me?

I strongly do feel that what goes around comes around.

You can’t run from the eyes of God, your destined to be found.







Even with a jacket the world is a cold place.

What’s colder is that I have to fabricate a smile on my face.

So when you look back and realize the damage you caused.

I’ll be standing backstage waiting to be applaused.

As time passes you’re going to realize the success that I’ve grown.

But just remember all the stuff you put me through and why you’re standing all 
alone.

Love Gamble

I’m that person, place, thing or idea you can’t get out of your head.
Endless nights you toss and turn in bed while u pop another med.
I always said I was addictive like a drug. I’ll be your blanket and keep you 
warm and snug.
Or maybe I just might give you a terrible feeling and be the flu bug.
With one touch, I can make you quiver. My tongue rolling across your neck will 
make you shiver.
You don’t play your cards right and I’ll work the nervous system to the liver. 
My point is that I can be the greatest guy you ever met. You will no longer live 
life with regret.
But mess with me and I’ll collect like a past due gambling bet. 


I’ll be there for you always, my love will get you high and leave you in a daze.
But don’t get lost like a mouse trapped in a maze.
I promise to get you out of any bind, so long as you stay with me in body and 
mind.
Leave me and regret is all you will find.
I don’t gamble with hearts, I play the game of life and display my smarts.
So sit down and watch me prepare before the show starts.
Don’t ever question how smart I am nor keep me by a collar, watch my love 
grow into a scholar. 
My way with words is just a fraction of how I am going to multiply the dollar.


I know love is gambling, but I am loaded dice. Give it a shot and the payout is 
nice.
I have loved once, but I aint afraid to say I can and will be in love twice. 
Exhaustion has taken a toll on me when trying to find the one, give me some 
water because it feels like I have been walking in the sun.
My marathon walk will pay off when I am done.
I hate cheaters and liars, so don’t use me to fulfill your passionate desires.
You do me wrong and you’re going to need an ocean to douse the fires.
Like I said, love is gambling, so you want to place your bet? I guarantee you 
I’m the highest roller you’ve ever met.
I’m the closest thing to a Royal Flush that you will ever get.

Inlove With Her and Novacaine

Never knew love the way I know it now
Never will I know even when I ask how
She left and that was all
I'm trying desperately to climb outside this wall
I grip the roses stem and blood drips down my wrist
I drop to the floor, put my hands on my forehead while in a fist
We shared an oath from our lips to Gods ears
I placed myself in front of her knife to the heart to quench her fears
It killed me to love and lose
I'm losing sleep so I smash my clock back to snooze
I can't believe I thought she was the one to save me
It turns out she was the one to enslave me
My trust ran deep like blood coursing through her vein
I need to numb the bitter taste so I use novacaine
The thought of her is making my heart race
My walls are gone and now I have too much space
I think my loss is starting to hit me
I can't breathe at the thought that she will forget me
I fall from my knees with my face sideways on the floor
I grip the rose tighter & tell myself I don't want to love evermore
I'm fighting the truth and reality at this time
I'm in too deep, I'm too weak to climb
I feel a cold running through my veins followed by a last chill
My eyes are awake yet my body lie still
The lights are dimming and my life is flashing in spurts
I guess this is what it means when they say love hurts...

While I Was Thinking

While I was thinking I catch breath & inhale life I strife to break bread and avoid the lights that flash blue and red instead I make ends meet by meeting ends to set trends I just want life to love me as I love it before my life ends. I'm addressing the stress yet make less more and don't realize the lies im being fed instead so jaded by the hated I embrace the space im given and livin the life I thought was memorable until forgotten was my dream I seem lost in space...so, will I will my endeavor so clever so quick to never call my bluff n pull the lever n cut off ties like sever? Or call out rhymes like past times as people drop dimes and I sniff lines of notes like valentines I embrace it, taste it, lace it as I turn my back then never face it as uh chapter in the past I cast a dark loom over the groom n give my blessing to the music that once was my doom 2 consume my mind like monsoon & get swept into my black tomb I lay here and wonder, will I ever come home soon?

2 Minutes of Exposure

Working with what I got n what I got is what I taught myself cuz school never gave me much but the touch n dash or sprinkle of lies that this government wants us to know since the knowing is growing as evolution would occur but occur is what they dont want as uprising would occur so downsizing is much better in their frame of mind their bind is population the acceleration of my mind is like zero to sixty in one second in uh second is all it takes to tell you the truth about the world we live in...LIE. The truth itself is far from reality the reality we know is a LIE since we live to die yet I stopped asking why cuz why is why im in the predicament im in now the knowing of truth is like a revelation that very few know cuz the eyes that are to be wide open are closed and what I say will be loathed but I care less unless change is made and this world is not paid...off like the accused to the accuser the user of this tactic is in front of our eyes but we will never be free unless we see the lies....

While I Was Thinking Pt 2

Sitting here thinking...will I will my endeavor so clever so quick to never call my bluff n pull the lever n cut off ties like sever? 

Or call out rhymes like past times as people drop dimes and I sniff lines of notes like valentines I embrace it, taste it, lace it as I turn my back then never face it as uh chapter in the past I cast a dark loom over the groom n give my blessing to the music that once was my doom 2 consume my mind like monsoon & get swept into my black tomb. 

Or do I? Walk the route n doubt the clout that surrounds me like my conscience which I never doubt the truth of the nature of the beast to say the least at least I rise like yeast n stay straight like creased with no plan on getting off track like derailed I thought I failed yet nailed to this life like jailed n caught or confined I signed my life with uh fine point to point the finger to the sky in high hopes. The sky is my life n my dreams seem to redeem my true nature as my queen knights me n watches as I develop into a king

When I Was a King

Woken was the king to a reality when he was once great. 
He rises to his feet to rise to the occasion, but only to find out he’s years too late. 

You see, all good things must come to an end. 
There are more things important than the money you spend.

Time is on the side to those who side with it.
Don’t blink because beauty you just might miss it.

The beast is the truth, and the lie you told yourself.
With love there is no need for wealth as I always say myself.

The throne slips through your fingers like sand.
No longer do you have a queen to hold your hand.

They say it’s better to have loved & lost than to have never loved at all.
I disagree because I see her face on every girl as she is my downfall.

However, you cannot force a king to rule. 
He might be cut out to jester or be a petty fool. 

The queen may never have been a queen to start.
She might take your riches & rob your heart.

I was once a king…
But I’m nothing more than a boy lost in love with no hand for my ring. 

I guess love had my imagination in an odd place.
Either that or I should have seen the signs when you wanted “space.”

My mother always said my first love would be a fling…
But 3 years later I still feel like she was my queen & I was her king…
