This world is crazy. Whatever my destination is in life, I hope for safe travels to get there. Which ever way I do it, be it right or wrong, I'll have to live with the choices made once I arrive. #poetrysky #poetry2day #spokenword #hiphop

"When In Doubt" is about that voice that creeps in your head. The hesitation before you act. The voices that steers you wrong. Life is too short and too precious to be hindered by false fears. So don't be afraid to do you. #spokenword #poetry2day #poetrysky #hiphop

The lady at the cleaners called me, Mister Frank and I knew it was up. The signs have been calling. They're telling me it's time to embrace my unc era. My poem Death Wish is about facing mortality and what I wish to get out of life. #poetrysky #spokenword #Blacksky #unc #writers #poetry2day

"The Boy" is a poem about growing up and appreciating the past. One of those things I couldn't have made 10 years ago. Here is the audio version now on youtube. #PoetrySky #indiemusic #spokenword #hiphop

I'm old y'all. Embracing my Unk chapter and hopefully will get to drop poetry as an Old Head. Or whatever they'll call it by then. In the meantime, "The Boy" is poem about my youth and simpler times. #poetrysky #spokenword #life #writer #growingup #youth

My poem "iHurt" is about the pains of love and what it can turn someone into. You think you know yourself until you love someone so much that losing them is a traumatizing. How your mind copes with that may surprise you. #indiemusic #poetrysky #blackskymusic #writersky #hiphop

I wrote the poem "End Game" because its so easy to get caught up in the moment and distracted by what if. But if you want positive results your preparation needs to be ready when it meets opportunity. #poetrysky #spokenword #poets #writers #story

"iHurt" is about the emotional pain that can result from a breakup. The brains response to protecting itself from that kind of trauma can range from isolating defense or an all out offense. A healthy dose of both is cool, but it's also easy to lean into the extreme. #poetrysky #spokenword #poetry
