I am everything
for everyone
except myself

The poetry is in the punishment

respect is earned
manners are learned
rules are written
laws are passed
mercy is shown
peace is granted

This is still true

🌻 oh...to be like my mother
🌳 never will I be
🍁 when did I become her?
❄ was there ever "a me?"

My Name is Still - A_Man
#pennyforyourthoughtspoetry #poetry #aman✒️
I still miss you, mama

🌕

end it
end it all
end it now

my heart pumps lead
through surrendered limbs
yet, gravity has failed me

i rage alone
cursing the ground
for stopping my fall

i howl into the night
it is a dead language
it is heartache

stressed lines
shred skin from jagged quills

raged stances
shot from a pen barrel

murderous pros
keys pummel parchment to pulp

my words are criminal
written in desperation

What was the question?

it was lost in the moment
and welcomed me back
