Cathartic





Phone vibrates* 

Ring in my phone 
Real late night; when we be at home 

Again-the tone 

Peering close
 to see what you wrote 

“I need & I’m missing you”
and she sees it too

“Now I need you to paint a clearer view 
Cause this the type of shit that eat at you”

Wondering if she a side line... (No) 
“Are you lyin” or am I just idolizing”” (Hope) 

These are the type of nights 
She cry at night 
So she’s hiding why? (So) 

You may feel the stress a 
Ruminate when I left 
Am I a tool if I do regret
and assume the best? (Go...) 

“Can’t you see either you will
or she will bring my past from the shadows 
And unveil what I battle 
to remain...
these shackles”

Thinking I cannot break their hearts 
When I in their eyes ignate the spark 
Therein “lies”
the pain that starts

Then I’m back in the rain in the back of my head
and coming to be back in their arms 
and there I... 
enter the (storm)

A retrogression 
with an ex 
pinned a
 love connection with a blood reflection 
Should of said enough was enough and just be best friends 
Instead we’re Kcuf’ed up and left in 
Feeling rough 
Cause we had enough of the vexing

Now
 I’m curious 
of these high/lows making me so inferior 

“Yup! You’ve become so 
dependent on how you bend your way with women 

From a fool and my early stages 
that cold came 
with my old ways
then came your judgement 
late nights when my phone be buzzin’
really pushed your buttons
Interrupting like I never knew nothing about your past-hood lovers

(Demons!)
 Im done being mistreated 

And to repeat it was just only increasing 
It’s worse 
when feeling you’re really needed

Easing your way with reason 
Where and whenever you see convenient 
seems to dig your way even deeper

Am I just seen shit 
on who’s deviant

Reminisce
with my head back and these thoughts keep constantly sinking 

They rewind 
Lookin for peace 
but it eats my (ease)
So I keep crying 
into sleepless nights 

so I reply, 
“If I could see Kai?”

Then you end with a sentence 
Telling me to, “mind my only business” 

When all I did 
was just really miss him 

All of a sudden
Im commended by amendment 
To sign by X 
to pay for my own dependent 

(No)
That’s not what you want our kid to be left with 
To understand that green is my only means of connecting 
Making future means a fucking death wish. 

(and I promise!)

Even in my situation and all it’s causing 

You really think this peace bond 
will relieve all 
your problems? 

(Oh)
I pray one day that I’ll make up 
No being afraid cause of our hate/love 

Imma ride through this frustration of what I write on these pages 
cause when I see you smiling it’s driving me crazy 

This pain’s a constant weight on my shoulders that really be growing 
From how high I be holding 
and of a time of these lies is skite to be broken 

But 
for the sake of my health 
I pray that I make it through this hell

But If I don’t and you wonder where I go 
and I decide with high hopes to prove that by god! 

That everything I sought 
That even I’m not caught with disappointment 
but that’s all that really grows in; 
That these walls are surely closing 
Making it all-the-more claustrophobic 

Then it’s my fault 
that I come off
for not knowing that I’m supposed to be 
Growing close cause he know it’s me 
But I’m only ghost
 and on ya constantly 
Arguing he’s a part of me 
yet wanna be 
(all he needs, baby) 

It’s always on me
Constantly making it hard to breathe 
Hey!
“Don’t it bleed, 
When you feeling the urge to be that person you were supposed to be “

All damn day these grudges get a hold of me 

Then it blows 
Thoughts 
I can’t let it go 
In my head for the second 
Empathetic 
(RIP) 
And I’m headed for 
and into seven Several stressful mentals 
Where once I had my pistol
being this close (Aye! Damn...)

and this just may be
the end of my road 

But Ironically,
the fact is outta be smarter and set an example, like really, “I’m too a father” 
Really moving harder 
Maneuvering through the water 
And no matter what path I’m choosing,
it seems to be getting farther 
From a family that ties my life, dishonor 
A target 
been solely martyred 

Because of a promise now long forgotten! 

Now I’m Dreaming Dreams of solace
Where I’m free from falling into a deeper, darker part of me has caused us to be a product 
Of our mirrored Problems

I said it and I’ll say it again
“This is the type of shit we don’t need 
in our closets!”

*Dials phone # ***-***-7275
Line rings and phone picks up 

“Please understand 
Even through times I’m not with him 
In your eyes 
Still 
Ive proven that I’m 
the misfit 

put aside to keep nigh 
I can’t end this 

So I keep trying
but sometimes 
I wish we
could switch sides
So you see plight 
is suicide, 

a do or die slow 
For you and I both 
But I ain’t losing Kai 
is an euthanai to my hope 
I know 
I’m go-ing crazy 
Kai, please, don’t hate me” 

Wish I could trade 
These type of days 
to embrace you in my arms...

-“Daddy, what’s wrong?”

- “I just love you so so much
Everything I did led me to you” 

Kai: 
“Ain’t never knew someone as you could prove wrong 

Now I know that’s the same reason my name ain’t the same as, “U,” huh? 

To this day I’m waiting’, 
but still you move on 

Maybe I just wasn’t something to choose 
If you had to choose one 

It’s sad to think 
If I’m not something then I’m probably nothing to you 

If nothing last forever 
then can I please be nothing to you?...

Cause even when I love you 
Im a bit confused on what’s true 

But I’m glad you handled your own 
and everything that’s been thrown at you 

But you built your own castle where your alone with your own battles 

And here I am on my own 
I need you here regardless 

At times even when I’m scared of monsters
(Yeah)
It’s not fair mom’s an only parent and you make me an option 
Then your love is where 
cause I know I’m gonna need it often 
even if you and mom aren’t getting along in all this 
I promise you’re not wrong for calling 
But I don’t know if I could talk and be involved with 
and sulk in other things you’ve not been 

I don’t know if I can make this clearer but it’s you I see when I look in the mirror 

Never ever have I looked so deeper to come close with all that fear”
(You...)

-“Kai, just hurts thinking one day you’ll just cut me...”
*line ends

-I didn’t want you to be apart of this 
But is this my cathartic art to another part of, “Heartless” 
-Love you

  1. So this piece was a lot. A lot of my life and what I’m going through now. I love my son with all my heart and this was something I had to write to get it on paper cause for a long long time, writing has been that escape for me and since my son was conceived... I hadn’t put anything out and I had just been waiting for the right moment to start up again. Since, my page and my writing had been on hold so I left a lot of you wondering what happened to, “Curious?” but that’s also why I started this. Writing to relate at an emotional level, connect with an audience who go through the same struggles if not then happiness. I mean I had already pushed the envelope with some of my recent pieces and why not this one. Like I said, I love my son to death and the mother of my child, they’re two wonderful and amazing people. This is just my battle, my side of the story and maybe something my son can look back on and see my head space. “Heartless Part 2”

“The Community; Vivian”

Little Vivian, 9: Thud! the early of morning peers it’s way thru little Vivian’s tired eyes. Opening and closing until comfort & curiosity arose her little mind. Finally awakening after fully shuffling the blankets off her body with her tiny feet. The cold awoke her. [The 9 year olds bathroom] She tiredly makes her way to the bathroom, half asleep and half awake, she sits through the unpleasant cold of porcelain.  Here she preplanned her morning by way of cartoons and a fresh bowl of cereal, but… it was all startled by a repetitive sound outside her bathroom window. Sitting there still as she listened.  It was a thud and a scream as if someone was struggling to get by the fence in their backyard. She quieted to not making a sound as it got louder; her heart almost stopped.  She was frightened as it was still dark throughout the house. The sun still not shining enough to make one act bravely.  Looking to elusively drown it out with her cartoons and cold cereal. Sh...

A Lover’s Interlude

  Baby, I can never get enough of your body  (Baby, your body)  Baby, I can never get enough of your body  (Baby, your body)  When I’m around you  it’s been erotic, and if I’m being honest.. You’re as hypnotic to being godly but what’s a God to a Goddess if that time’s not honored Oh, baby  You’re my pride, you’re my Sri Lanka  so as soon you de-blouse to thee flower, we hit arousal and the suspense grows The heat’s intense and each edge is a piece to be caressed  but what’s sleep  if you’re the key to beauty rest as I’m lost without you  I’ve been all about you  I’m reading your walls  Baby, I’m beating your odds  You know it’s on as this love attests to our moods and all ensues  I’m following you as this love pursues to our rooms,  a tomb of love fumes hits as a seducing perfume in which we lose ourselves  Now it’s as if  the flowers bloom as soon as the moon entails  Ah yeah, I fe...

My Divine Revelation

This is to the imperfections that bound us It is done so by a powerful force, and when we finally accept that, only then will we live the life we truly yearn for. This  is to the imperfections that bound us Mmm but more so, this  is to you.  This is to the beauty before you,  behind you,  above you & all around you  Hózhóogo naasháa doo Shitsijí’ hózhóogo naasháa doo Shikéédéé hózhóogo naasháa doo Shideigi hózhóogo naasháa doo T’áá altso shinaagóó hózhóogo naasháa doo Hózhó náhásdlíí’ Hózhó náhásdlíí’ Hózhó náhásdlíí’ Hózhó náhásdlíí’ And it was there… I found myself one night, standing in front of a mirror with  a   “Divine Revelation” and in these last years,  I have gained new perspectives about myself  by paying more attention to my mind, body… and spirituality.  And most of these connections happen with subtlety,  but the more I worked on consciously experiencing those 3 integral parts of my being, the more I coul...
