Beginning at the End

Laugh hard, Love harder and never be afraid to sacrifice who you are for who you will become.

  • Tryin

    I’ve been tryin to evolve while trying to heal. Wade in the pain and swim in the love I feel. The ambivalence of everything makes me feel naive.I really been tryin to forgive while trying to grieve. Feels like I’ve been searching forever, for God knows what…While tryin to let go, so my heart doesn’t…

  • Alien

    I posted some dialog in December about what I felt I was missing and needed. Explaining in detail what I wanted in someone trying not to sound conceited. Putting it out in the universe even though I was feeling defeated. Formulating my idea of how I want to be loved, held and treated. And the…

  • Good Run

    Never thought we be done but looking back we had a hell of a run. We followed our hearts and chased things in life that made it fun. Experienced many firsts together that I know I learned from. Together we raised a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. Thoughts never occurred that there could be…

  • Gone Too Soon

    Sometimes, I talk to myself even when I know I’m not listenin.Catch the feeling of smilin but nobody sees it glistenin. Dad’s been gone for decades and to this day I’m still missin him. My boy didn’t make it to 40 and still ain’t over being pissed at him. My brotha fought to win but…

  • Beginning at the End

    Being forced to begin again at the end.When I was motivated by good intentions. Depression wanted so bad to be a friend. The tension grew like a fungal infection. Felt naked without the egos protection.  Self-imposed seclusion I allowed addiction. Mask and numb it all, that was the mission

  • Breaking Cycles

    Breakin these cycles, I’m finally fuckin free. I’m not as spiteful as the man I used be. Way more insightful a year after I chose me. I deconstructed the pillars of toxicityand beat my addiction to being the accessory.

  • Best For You

    I wished it wasn’t the truth. But I’m not what’s best for you. There are things I could not do. Or couldn’t figure out how to. It’d be crazy for me to continue. I only want what’s best for you.

  • Is This You?

    Let’s run through this game of life together.  Be teammates, root and cheer for each other. Shamelessly explore this world together. Find our passions like some buried treasure.

  • Babygirl

    I can still remember the feeling of your tiny toes kicking my hand. From the inside of moms belly while I whispered “I’m your dad”At that moment I made a promise to myself, I established a pact. I would do anything for you and protect you from anything bad. I couldn’t wait to meet you,…
