Birth defects, overcoming challenges, getting happier.
An oasis of memories engulfs me
Conceived on a city tenement roof
The tides washed away my sandcastle.

This past year I wasn’t alone.
Being onstage, getting laughs, feeling good
Sometimes my life sucked, sometimes not.

Greatest girlfriend in September, last kiss.
My memories brought me great victory.
news path opens in my life
Smile at the past ??
Meant to be a child start.

Growing old at a young age.
Wanted maturity. Now yearn for innocence.
Night basked in starlight, finally, I’m home.
My sanity, hanging by a noose.
Navy veteran with a rageful purpose.
Ghosts haunt me, desperate for freedom.
Your emergency has become my problem
breaking walls built to protect hearts
Trying to heal you, hurt me.

Drowned in puddles, burned by stars
Our grief will never be linear
