I believe death brings revelation. In facing loss, we inherit a renewed and often unexpected perspective on life. Sometimes the very lens through which we choose to see the world narrows our vision; by clinging to it, we risk losing the wider, truer landscape that lies just beyond our periphery. My great grandmother parted from … Continue reading Revelation

17C, catching views of the sky again.. Conviction of the heart, restart… So I can try again. Visiting my people to see if anything has changed.. But the more we catch up, the more it seems they’re still the same.. Can’t help but feel like we ride in different lanes, We drifted apart for some … Continue reading Views from 17C
One Last Ride
They can’t smell the flowers… Rose pedals, lillies, carnations… And I wish I could rewind to the hour, We had our last conversation.

I wish we had…one more time… … Continue reading One Last Ride
Stop Suffering
Emotions are fickle… They’ll trick you… Subtly creeping into my mind as I try to find, The peace I need to proceed. I breathe..then release.

Lord knows his toughest soldiers… And now that I’m older.. I see the missions…different Building my experience, brick by brick and… Not knowing how I was saved or… How I came out unscathed.

At What Age?

Selling Dreams
They sell us dreams To keep our eye off the prize We focus on what we can see Instead of what’s beyond the sky We lust over the idea that Love is all we got And idolize people Giving them equal stance to God But you know what? Polar extremities in life will tell a … Continue reading Selling Dreams

No Oulets Pt. 2
Chin up, be strong brother. It’s normal to suppress how you feel. Those thoughts that plague your mind? The things you say to yourself, be kind Because those thoughts are real. Friends around you are designed the same. You can’t express how you feel.. Because the simple answer is “find a way.” Or learn to … Continue reading No Oulets Pt. 2

Death
Death, as I define it, signifies the end. Often, we associate it with the end of life, manifesting in permanent exits like funerals. However, it can also represent the demise of an era, friendships, relationships, or even shedding old skin and embracing a new, profound purpose that sets us apart from conventional customs and beliefs. … Continue reading Death
