Closer (Nightmares)

Closer (Nightmares)

Day dreamer living in a nightmare
Wake up cold sweats, must've been another night terror
Yell out, but there's no response
Screams muted by the night air
Looking in the mirror rapid growth of white hairs

See my situation's fucked up
Got me wondering how
How Ima make it through
Look up at the stars, but they hold no clues
Not what I envisioned in my dreams
Not the life I'd choose
Life's got my ego bruised
Regardless of what I do I always seem to lose

I'm getting lower
I feel it in my sleep
Not at all my dream world
I'm getting closer to my nightmares
Closer to my fears
Closer to drowning in my sorrows
I've cried too many tears

Hard to not let nightmares get the best of me
Especially when life's got the rest of me
Closer to the edge of insanity
Haunted by demons randomly
Stuck
Asking my self:
Can it be?

Nightmares become a mirror to reality
Reality reflecting my nightmares
Thoughts become cloudy
Unclear
Wondering how life got closer
Closer to my nightmares

I'm getting lower
I feel it in my sleep
Not at all my dream world
I'm getting closer to my nightmares
Closer to my fears
Closer to drowning in my sorrows
I've cried too many tears

It has arrived

My hand. My book. It has finally arrived, and of course as I look through it I wish it was a little different but hey for the first time around it ain't all that bad. The text is a little smaller than I would have liked on certain pages. Comp screen & printed pages are a tad bit different I guess. And even though the book seems thin if I were to sell the poems individually framed, i'd do it for no less than $5 so I feel it's quite a good deal. But of course I would. Well that's all for now. Deuces.

Philadelphia Demeanor Pt. 2

So my book has shipped I have several copies coming to me directly. 5 to be exact 1 for my mom dukes, cause I know she'll cherish it with all her heart the rest are for sale. I have 1 sold already, which means I'll have 3 available for sale at the Poetry show on the 14 and I'm hoping I sell those 3 that day. I joked on twitter that if I sell 10 copies online I will get me a crazy tattoo, but I was half serious if I sell enough online then I'm def going into NY and hitting up Grin Stylez and getting some ink done. Check his work out here: Grin Stylez. I'm already thinking about a Part Two to this book, with all new material, which means I gotta get this pen to the pad. Typing out poems is one thing, but when you actually write them down there's something more organic to the work.
