Less about poetry into my dark history
I wasn’t born into a manger I was born onto a Stranger Who taught me less of harmony But it gave me an epiphany Teaching out of common sense To find what is the best of this Lied to about where I’m from Media making me numb To all this pain we’re feeling These fates…

You’re Going To Regret
One day my name will line the front pages and not because I was killed But because God took my empty cups and made sure they were filled Overabundance having me pouring out into others as mine endlessly fills As your table stacks and piles and piles onto the floor with unpaid bills Calling my…

Alcohol Isn’t A Cure For Loneliness
Playing your memory on repeat like a special interest Sweet memories that are easier to digest Then the thought I meant absolutely nothing to you Though some self reflection is long over due Like a library book with a checkout long forgotten Or milk sat in the back of the fridge rotten Scars of my…

Friendships
I’m on the side of the road struggling to survive I press record on the phone and it says I’m live You offer to get me home when you know I have none This is when my story truly has begun I’m to awkward to ask for a place to sleep other then my car…

letter from -D-aughter
Dont think I’ve forgotten The long lost begotten Children of old listening To hear from the glistening Light from the dark place That we now face Because divinity has a plan Where the chosen ones must say I can As they face evils of massive proportions Because children are the greatest extortions So we gather…

Night On The Farm
As night casually brings it’s dimming curtain a cool breeze whispers over a dry Washington mountainside. Thunder in the distance threatens the drought ridden wild oats and yellowed grasses as a couple of farm dogs snore with the shhhhh of the wind as it passes through old oaks. I try to focus on my writing,…

Dust On The Floor- Peom excerpt from The Successful Intentions of Alex Ritter
Poetry came so easily once upon a time Now heartbreak, like a season, reaped my rhyme Leaving a small glimmer of writing dust To inspire words again because God says its a must So reaching in the hole I find some words Its about more then sheep, Jesus likes to feed birds So a harmony…

Something About Love
I gotta say I’m confused as to what love is. This goes beyond romance to the biggest and smallest aspects of ourselves. What does it mean to love someone? Does loving someone mean accepting that you’ll also be hurt by them? Because oftentimes expectations outweight reality even if our intention was no expectations at all.…

Over it
Bojack Horseman once said something along the lines of everybody loves you but nobody likes you I didn’t get it at first walking around with the lines rattling around the back of my mind Then one day I looked over my own life and discovered a horrible sight of narcissism Realizing the victim mentality hung…

Time Alone
Tick tick hours roll by Here I sit trying not to cry Pitty wont build an empire Fear being the fuel to the fire Pushing pieces of myself together But this weight isn’t a feather So clay feels like rubber Though it’s hard I try not to blubber But I worry about the future These…

Reflection of UGLY
Do you ever look back on your own actions and think woah my ego was over inflated? Because I find myself looking back and thinking how many apologies are thoroughly belated Though to always apologize leaves no room to sit and reflect on the darker sides of things Deeper then hurt the mirror is looking…

Jesus Is In Paradise
Luna hangs high in the clear night sky like a cheshire smile Stars twinkling across the expansive mile Waves licking the soft sandy beaches with gentle wooshes Sweet fruits filling bright green lush bushes Smiles on even the poorest members of the community Because in paradise we all know the meaning of unity Artists filling…

Writer’s Block
Pen to paper doesn’t seem to work like it use to Because even though I sit in a pew I don’t feel holy I see every folly and scar and some days I hear ugly Sending pin cracks across my glee till it’s fragile Afraid, because I’m not always agile, I’ll break it Faking a…
