My Story ( Pt. 2 )

CATEGORY

life

Part 1 Was Me Talking About Moving From Home to Home..

How I Didn’t Have The Luxuries of Cable or a Phone..

But At The End I Left It Where Everything Was Good..

Moved To A White House With Kids In The Neighborhood.

Let’s Jump Forward to When I Was Nine..

Everything Was Going Great But I Knew It Was Only a Matter of Time..

Then That Day Came..

Nothing Was Ever The Same…

I Remember This Day Step for Step..

So Please Bare With Me As I Go Into Depth..

I Woke Up Got Ready And Began My Walk..

On My Way to School As Me and My Friends Would Talk..

The Day Started Just As Normal…

Teachers Were Just As Cordial…

Walked In Said Hi to My 5th Grade Teacher..

Gave Her Morning Speech Like Some Preacher..

1st Period Went By and Math Was Next..

Only Thing I Thought About Was The Test…

I Never Studied But I Said I’ll Try My Best..

Walked In Sat At My Desk..

Mrs Gala Said Good Morning Class..

She Looks At Me Goes Mark Are You Going To Pass..

I Lied And Said Yes, But I Wasn’t Completely Sure..

I Was Aiming For A 60 Something Score..

She Handed Out The Paper And Said Good Luck..

Question #1 I Was Already Stuck..

Then My Friend Josh Got Up To Sharpen His Pencil..

He Shouted Oh My God Like He Saw Something Special..

So Everyone Got Up To Look..

But I Just Kept My Pencil To The Paper And My Head In The Book..

Then I Got Up To Go Look and Mrs Gala Yelled Mark Sit Down..

I Said Oh Man What Did I Do Now..

5 Minutes Later Principal Said Send Mark Down With His Stuff..

I Automatically Thought ***..

What Am I In Trouble For Now..

So I Grabbed My Stuff And Headed Down..

Mrs Gala Said I Can Finish The Test Another Day...

I Said Okay Thank You and Went On My Way…

I Got To The Office and My Landlord Said You’re Coming With Me..

I Thought I’m Getting Out Early So I Didn’t Question I Just Let It Be..

Drove A Few Blocks And Got My Brother From His School..

He Got In And Acted Nonchalant and Cool..

So At This Moment I Didn’t Expect Anything…

But I Knew I Should Be Questioning Everything…

So As We Pull Up To My House My Dad Is Sitting On The Steps..

I Go Over And He Is Crying I Knew This Is As Real As It Gets..

He Looks At Me And Points Behind Me….

My Brother Looked First Then I Looked But By Brother Tried To Blind Me..

He Didn’t Want Me To See…

My Dad Then Says Aren’t Those Moms’ Towers..

Now My Normal Day Turned To Cloudy With 100% Chance Of Showers..

I Felt My Heart Sink Deep Inside..

Felt Like My Insides Just Died….

8 Hours Went By…

All I Did Was Cry..

Praying Everything Would Be Alright..

Praying My Mom Would Be Home That Night..

My Grandmother Calls And Says Can I Speak To Your Dad..

I Automatically Thought I Just Lost Half Of Everything I Had.

My Dad Hung Up The Phone..

Came Up To Me and Said Your Mother Is Coming Home…

My Dad And My Landlord Went and Got Her In Hoboken..

I Tried To Get Up But It Felt Like My Legs Were Broken..

2 Hours Later My Mother Arrived Home All Gray And Full Of Debris..

Saying She Could Barely Breathe..

I Just Sat On The Couch Happy But At The Same Time Sad..

But A Part Of Me Was Mad…

That Is How Everything Went From Good To Bad…

How My Smile Got Flipped Upside Down..

Leaving Me To Ask What Now..

I Know This Day Step for Step and I’ll Always Remember…

It Was 2001 and The 11th Day of Septemer…

This Is Just The Halfway Point Into The Story About Me…

So Please Stay Tuned for Part Three..

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY PureSkillz23

Darkest Secret

People say laughter is the best medicine...

But I rather play with my demons, so I let them in...

Just settle in...

Cause it's time to play ball no letterman..

My closet is too small, so I keep my skeletons in the attic..

They come to play when my thoughts become erratic..

They fill my mind with static...

Causing unbearable panic...

Causing me to go manic..

Thoughts become irrational...

Can't differentiate fictional and factual..

Encounters are no longer casual..

So what will laughter do..

For the constant fear that someone is after you..

I no longer know what laughter is like...

My thoughts consist of the afterlife..

Wondering if it will only work with half the knife..

Hoping that I can fit in the casket right..

So please tell me what laughter is like..

I want to live life vicariously through you cause I don't feel safe in my own...

Sneak Peek

People say laughter is the best medicine...

But I rather play with my demons, so I let them in...

Just settle in...

Cause it's time to play ball no letterman..

Sneak Peek of my new project. Let me know your thoughts

Covid

I wrote this back when Covid first started.

You know as I read the news and see so many people dying without telling their loved ones bye. It struck fear in me that it could be me and the people that mean so much to me would never know that I loved them. It got me thinking about how I could tell them if I was to pass from this virus. So, I decided to write out a poem just in case the worst was to happen to me. I am an asthmatic so according to all the reports I am at high risk of being severely affected by this virus. Which made me worry that I would not be able to tell the ones I loved goodbye or that I love them one last time. My condolences and prayers go out to the families that have been affected by this virus.

You know what they say tomorrow is never owed..

When this virus hit we were all in the same car going down the same road..

Uncertainty and not even a glimmer of hope..

We were just advised to j...

Cold Hearted

People ask how my heart can be so cold..

Cause you begin to realize s**t as you get old...

Not everyone wants to see you succeed..

They rather see you down and out and watch your heart bleed...

Funny how they only be around when it's something they need..

But when roles become reversed they disappear like a missing person..

So ask yourself who is the only one hurtin..

Not everyone has your best interest at heart..

That may be how they portray it to start..

But as you begin to elevate and they stay the same, people switch their position...

So when your back is turned start to listen..

Cause they tell you all the s**t you wanna hear to your face...

But once your back is turned their words change pace..

They are off to the races..

Spilling your business to other peoples faces..

Too many people in your circle...

Will only hurt you...

Addicted

See I Been Missing This Game...

Like A Coke Head Missing The Caine..

I Know It Is Not The Same..

But I Get The Same Feeling...

Watching The Floor While Sitting On The Ceiling..

Like Sitting On Cloud Nine..

Coke Is Their Drug But Poetry Is Mine..

I Feign To Write Rhymes..

They Feign To Snort Lines...

Their Drug Causes Damage Mine Causes Relief..

They Do It Cause Their Addicted I Do It Cause Its My Belief..

The Withdrawals From Both Are About Equal...

I'm Withdrawing From Poetry They Withdrawing From The Needle..

Their Looking For A Fix...

I'm Looking To See What Rhyme Fits..

So If You're Asking If I'm An Addict The Answer Is Yes..

Cause It Relieves My Stress...

It Makes Me Forget The Bad And Only Think Of The Good..

This Is An Addiction I Would Never Quit Even If I Could..

Dark Days

See as of late...

My mind been in a dark place..

Wondering if I should test Mark's fate....

And walk through the park late...

Wondering if I had suicidal thoughts? Chances are great...

I'll give you 3 guesses on my thoughts lets call it a parlay..

Looked at a knife wondered if it would go through me smoother than parkay...

Guess the only way to find out is the hard way...

People say the sun comes out after a dark day...

I'm just wondering cause I been playing this on repeat like an arcade..

Days have started to blend into one..

Trying to see the end so I can know when this will be done...

Hard to fall asleep but when I do first feeling upon waking is the same...

Over and over again like a video game...

Falling asleep is death so a new life begins upon awaking..

You go throughout the day with a facade and by the end of the day it begins breaking..

R.I.P Anthony Rose (10.13.1989 - 07.21.2019)

It been a minute since I last wrote any poetry…

But something happened that was way too close to me..

I wrote poetry for fallen friends, and I hoped I wouldn’t have to do it again for some time..

Well here we are, but I got a lot of things on my mind…

Another brother has made his way to heaven way too soon..

I was at work reading Facebook it was about a quarter to noon..

And there it was staring me in the face R.I.P Anthony Rose..

I did not want to believe it, so I reached out to someone who knows..

She validated something I did not want to start believing…

I was in the middle of work, but I could not stop myself from grieving..

I know Ant this took me a while to come around to write..

It is just things in my head were not right..

I did not want to do this half-assed cause that’s not something you deserve..

I just had t...

Racism

This months topic is freestyle….

So as I sit here waiting for my career to get infected by West Nile…

I will spit a quickish kind of piece….

I am a white man at the age of 28….

I have to give you that information, so you could relate…

I grew up in an area where I was the minority…

But back then seeing race was not a priority…

I consider some of those friends my family….

So I been wanting to get something off my chest badly…

Just cause I am white does not make me racist, but you can have your opinion..

But some of you all mighty holy, so you in a sense is sinning…

One of the 10 commandments is love thy neighbor…

How many of you have a neighbor of a different race, and will not ask them for a favor ?

Why because their skin shows a different pigmentation ?

Why cause you...

Dear Matthew

I had a blessing my whole life, but just recently I started knowing…

Always wondered what I was doing or where I was going...

Was a crucial part in me growing…

Took care of me when he didn’t have to…

My blessings in disguise is my brother Matthew…

Always cared about me before he did himself…

Made sure I was okay before he cared about his health…

Continued doing everything he could without hearing a thank you…

Instead he received *** you and I hate you…

He never heard the words he so truly deserved…

Not even when we deeply conversed…

I don’t know why I never said these two words…

The words he still till this day so rightfully deserves…

He should hold the title of my father and my brother…

You might as well give him the title of my mother&hell...

Social Media Addiction

Today We Live In a World Overpowered by Social Media..

What Happen To When Kids Use To Read Books From Comics to the Encyclopedia..

We Sit Here Judging The Addicts That Smoke It, Snort It, and Inject It..

Yet When You Wake Up and Right Before Bed You Check Itâ€¦.

You Are Hooked To Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook..

Just Take A Lookâ€¦

People Post Every Single Second of Their Day on Social Media..

Iâ€™m Not Trying to Be Mean To Ya..

Cause I Am Just As Guilty As The Next Man..

Just Like Driving and Texting With The Other Hand..

Or Head In The Phone While Walking the Streets..

Too Distracted by The Book and The Gram to Notice When A Car Beepsâ€¦

I Am Not Writing This To Put People On The Spotâ€¦

I Am Just Trying To Bring Awareness to the Only Life You Gotâ€¦

Like I Said Iâ€™m Just As Guilty As Everyone Else..

But Before You Pass Judg...
