“If I Ruled the World”
I don’t know how to write this story, but maybe that’s not as important as the story itself. I’m hoping that the creative energy is powerful enough that it will write itself. Almost like I’m just the messenger. My problem is where to begin. Does it begin in my childhood? I was a deeply…

The Things We Lost in the Fire
I had a nightmare that I believe had many themes. About love, loss, memories, the value of life, and how home is where the heart is. Me & my mother were living at one of our old apartments in Monrovia. We called it “Lincoln” because that was the street we lived on. I just realized…

MENace

Your vengefulness has morphed into a strange fetish an inverted phobia you keep crashing into things that pain you and to pretend is a hell you fail to fathom The kill switch escapes you. foolishly stumbling running amok causing a scene that’s finicky at best. Give it a rest actually, kill it till it’s dead.

What if?
What if I killed a man? What if I buried his head in the sand? What would the people say? Would I go down on my knees and begin to pray? No, I’m not caving in to see a world go to shit Are you listening? I’ve got bills to pay and mouths to feed…

Unravel
I unravel in the darkness I can travel to the sun I have dived into the oceans I move mountains with my tongue. You don’t want me to be honest you don’t need me to be free I got cash inside my pocket and the devil beside me.
