"Locked Away in my head” 11/18/18 2:29pm

Locked Away in my head

“You’re All I Need to Get By” 10/02/18 9:53am (inspired by the song)

You’re all I need to get by.

I say hi with a smile and it grows bigger when I say goodbye. Why be sad when I leave you? Every moment with you I get to embrace my best friend.

You make me happy.

I never feel negative energy from you.

It’s always organic positive, wonderful vibes that I crave everyday. I feel like I took one look at you and I dedicated my life to you.

It was destiny that you and I met. With you I’m absolutely at my best. With you I can open any door. You are my fun under the sun and I’ve never felt that way about anyone. I can only hope I give you half of the joy and motivation that you give me. You are always there for me in time of need to push me up the hill. I kneel at your feet with my arms opened wide, completely surrendering my independence. We’ve created a foundation that exceeds all of my wildest expectations.

With you I’ve found strength where I was torn down. I say this with full confidence;

You’re all I need to get by.

“Basketball is Life” 09/12/18 3:48pm

I remember how it felt

I accepted it. Caught the ball and never planned on fumbling.

Touchdown, onside kick, recovered.

I was in a very familiar place, but I wasn’t playing this night. Usually had some catfish, but just wanted to enjoy the tunes and my better half this time. Greenbean blew the sounds that moved the crowd. The floor was full with each brand of life possible.

Smoke in the air. Car? Cigarette? Reefer?

No one knew or cared. This was a night so great, I wish that everyone else was there. I could feel the energy in the room, I felt like I was apart of a team that could win it all. No trades this season. This season was the jump start for new adventures.

Swayed to the beat, and held on tight. Lights, colors, not a frown in sight. This was right, this was right. I wished that this was right.

Football is fun, but basketball is life.

“Nothing Was Real” 09/05/18 12:24am

I remember how it felt.

Standing in the wings.

The scene was set. I sang a new song every day, but the production never changed. People changing quick and lights flashing in their eyes. Nothing was real, it was all for the play. What more can i say, but this day John legend was the key. Whispers stir emotions that felt real, it felt like it wasn’t a play anymore. It felt like something real was coming to the forefront. Each day got better, but I wouldn’t let her know. It’s never clear where these feelings that could drown most come from. It seemed to stick around but it couldn’t; well it shouldn’t have. It was bad but why fight something that opened my eyes to the other side of the equation.

Without this moment, life would be a lie.

“A Heart That I Had” 09/09/18 8:40pm

I remember how it felt.

Clinging to the wheel, I could feel the pain. Speaking about the future, nothing felt the same.

Trying to convince the world that everything is different, but it’s not. It’s me. I had everything I wanted and needed, but the dark side had clouded the force. That forced me to use a vocabulary that I can’t even remember because it wasn’t true. I tried to crack the code and break a lock on a heart that I had no reason to let go.

No. We aren’t done yet...

I believed that more then I believed Grass was green. I believed that more then I believed the sky was blue. I believed, but I weaved my way out of the drivers seat. The car ran me over as I laid on the pavement of anxiety. That moment felt like a bee sting compared to the aftermath. Now I’m sitting here with a missing limb because i never got that bee sting treated.

Fortunately Bees suffer after they attack. Unfortunately for me, I was the bee.

“Sweet Tea, Trains, Cigarettes and Flowers” 09/07/18 4:31pm

I remember how it felt.

Makes me smile thinking about it.

I smiled and life took the off ramp to another neighborhood, it was new and I didn’t have a clue it was there. Walked up to the door, knocked, but realized it had been my home all Alone. Sitting on my new independence street, falling in love with my new surroundings. The grass was greener, the air was cleaner. My bucket list hadn’t predicted this wonderful check. I had checked into a mental rehabilitation center, each member was haunted by a ghost of there former selves. This center helped open my eyes to the possibility of positive relationships, honest relationships, lifetime relationships. This center was ran by a bar, and a few guitar solos. This center shot me out to the big time. NYC, LA, CHICAGO, HOW?

LOVE,

And Love is so real.

Otis Redding was there. So was Prince.

Sweet tea, trains, cigarettes and flowers.

The beer was cheap, and the wine was fine.

No place stands above the home of my heart.

“Those last 14 steps” 09/04/18 3:23pm

I remember how it felt.

Nervous, excited, ready.

Smiling with every step I took.

It didn’t matter to me who said what.

I was hooked and stuck.

The room smelled like saw dust and roses.

Scripts scattered around and the sound of people rushing off to enjoy a quick five.

I remember the walls were green and there was about 15 steps between us.

The infrared beams were locked and loaded.

It was simple then. I wanted to experience something I had never had before. My hands were shaking but in my pockets hiding. Each step brought me closer to the future. Just a kid with dreams and ambition. As I look back now, that attitude got me to finish those last 14 steps. It wasn’t scary at all, I was ignorant. I had no clue what would come next.

I wanna feel that again.

“Exposed my Troublemaker” 09/05/18 12:39am

I remember how it felt.

Never getting a shot, but today I couldn’t miss the hoop.

Free, unchained, unprepared.

I can hear people laughing at the idea of kissing me. I can see people passing notes in class but never to me. Everyone on this trip had one thing on their minds, and it was to break the rules, but not me. There was no way I was gonna be put in a situation that exposed my troublemaker; well of course that was what I felt before dinner.

Eyes speared a hole through my skull, I had to pretend I didn’t notice, but it was obvious. I felt wanted, it still didn’t set in till I heard that sweet voice. It was just for me, no one else. Everyone else tried, but it fell in my lap.

I was the choice,

I was the prize,

I was the back up singer who had to take center stage, and I was ready for that.

I felt like I was walking on the sun, unburnt.

I felt like I had jumped in a mud pie and walked out clean as a whistle.

I felt like I would never get caught.

Lesson learned.

Wouldn’t Allow Me to Stop. 8/2/18 11:18pm

No matter what I do,

All I think about is you.

You’re my bandage, my glue.

You solved my puzzle, didn’t need a clue.

Where do we go from here?

Just walk the path and our fate will appear.

Everything now feels near,

But for so long, not having you was my fear.

I’m a man of goals and you were the top.

My crazy thoughts wouldn’t allow me to stop.

Every day was another step towards you.

Can’t believe this dream came true.

Now we race to the end of the show,

But we’ll stop to smell the roses.

Melt into the Future 03/09/2018 2:48am

When you know you know sooo... That’s why I’m here with you today. I woke up today with a smile on my face because I knew that being sad would be a waste of my time. I hope after this talk I can open your eyes to the possibility of a lifetime of walks in the park. For the longest time I was too afraid of the outcome of this conversation, but I’m willing to make a reservation at your favorite restaurant if you would have me. What do you say? You and I create something special. You and I quit living in a world where we aren’t together. You and i laugh at the past and melt into the future. I say you and I because to me there is no one else in the world. I don’t care about anything but your goals. How can I help. I understand if you have doubts. I can’t support myself financially, but I’m the guy who actually will make it up to you. So what should we do, because I’m done with not having you. 😊 How’s a 7:30 reservation sound for your heart?

The Ex-Factor is You 02/01/2018 11:38pm

It could all be so simple, but you’d rather make it hard. That’s the last thing you said

and it’s playing on repeat in your head constantly. How could you say that.

How could you push someone away because you are scared. It’s new, that’s ok. No need to self destruct. Breathe, believe in something. Build a new bridge and give your heart. Care like you never have before, cry and never wipe away the tears because those tears are there to remind you that you are a fighter and you believe in this foreign language. Rosetta Stone doesn’t have a tape for this. It’s up to you to study. Listen. Believe that no one loves you more then her. And no one ever will. Scream inside, push the boundaries. Let go and watch the flood gates catch you. Try to walk away and notice that pull on your shoulders guiding you in the proper direction. You can’t be with no one else. Don’t hurt yourself because it’s crazy to believe that she isn’t there for you. She cares for you, she’s there for you, She gives to you, she cries for you, she would die for you but you need to convince her to Live for you. This is crazy. I know what I’ve got to do. No matter how you think it will go, there’s always room to learn and grow. And if You start to walk away, just calm yourself; she is worth that step. It could all be so simple. Let go.
