"There's Always An Issue" by Anonymous

There’s always an issue

It’s on a schedule, 

like the trains passing periodically; Routine.

Passing out way too frequently 

Nothings working with me

It’s fine, it happens all the time

So I’ll just leave


Peddling the wheels

Fast enough to make my chain come loose 

I reach the secret path, my soles touch dirt

Tucking my bike behind a bush,

Greeting the wildlife living in the trees

It’s only the polite thing to do

Hoping the maintenance workers are off today

If not I’ll have to greet them too


Tranquility in the Abandoned,

Ambiance in being Alone.


Smoke strings upward, gone within seconds

Without a trace, disintegrating into the air 

The sun disappears creating an indigo hue

My problems seem to disappear as well

I’ve always felt so alone No one to love, no place to call home My heart had grown cold Because the people I loved liked to come and go. So I closed myself off I did not want to be hurt Until he showed me the warmth I craved, And soon after my heart was enslaved To the man I grew to love His crooked smile swept me off my feet Which was hard for others to compete, And as I laid in his arms For once I felt complete Was this what I was missing? A sense of security? A sense of safety? No longer was I reminiscing About the ills done before I finally felt like I belonged I felt like I was home Who would have thought a scrawny boy could change so much I am no longer alone I have someone to love, someone who is my home Now my heart is full and warm Because the person I love won’t come and go.

"What Do You Think?" by Anonymous

What we think we become, and my family is known to think big What we think we become, what happens if you THINK about losing your home How do you find it, what do you look for  I can always find my way back because its where the people I love are What we think we become, what happens when you think for home I engulf myself with the smell of cucumber melon incense  The overwhelming floating fragrant smell of soul food What we think we become, and my family is known to think big Yeah we laugh, yeah we joke We are also mass communications specialists We are PR representatives and diversity and inclusion managers What we think we become, and my family is known to think big Only as a result of necessity to survive Discrimination not only plagues my family but everyone that looks like me My own people not having the state of mind to invest in themselves so they take from each other  Our only way out is to think and to think big 10pm is an orchestral performance that beings of t...
