DECISION
It's The Dark Knight of wordplay better known as poetry;
It's getting late like Floetry;
Why you still gotta be here, when you don't even notice know me;
Got me Pheenin', no Jodeci;
Hanging on to life like, I'm supposed to be;
Trust a very few, that's why it's, so hard to get close to me
5 yrs young when this life chose me;
That's when my Papi chose she;
And look where that decision left WE,
Me and my Mommy!

I'm a sadistic optimist,
with the mind of ma*****st...
-Torch the Poet™

Shovel & Dig
Thinking about the amount of times I've been lied to;
Multiplied by the amount of times that, I lied too;
Applied is the amount of times my truth was denied;
As a child, repeatedly I was told to shut the f**k up when I cried;
So, I...
found undetectable ways to hide;
The pain in my heart that wanted to die,
So, I found a way to bury that s**t alive;
Still the painful resurrection of many of my suppressed memories;
Is an insurrection that continually,
F***s with mental chemistry;
I stay fighting off certain spirits speaking to me like a ministry;
Something that is hard for many to swallow;
Mentally, I've been teaching my heart how to be hollow;
I'm a sadistic optimist,
with the mind of ma*****st;
Can you dig and follow?

My Surge Is The Highest Rush™️




POWER OUTAGE
I'm crazy as f**k,
but please...let's keep that on the hush;
A smooth criminal; I can make any product blush;
The streets and I, stay in touch;
While you misguided muthaf**kas keep doing way too much;
I spark your life, like a joint filled with Orange Crush;
My word play makes your girl sway...my energy is too much;
No fables, I don't need jumper cables,
My power surge is the highest rush!

We're Back....

We're Back....

NO PREJUDICE

C**k back my hammer, now I'm too legit to quit;
I'm really plugged in, so it'll cost a grip,
For a no name muthaf**ka to have me clipped;
I'm twice removed from the muthaf**ka that, gets them thangs shipped;
Twice, I had to remove the hired help for being too antagonistic;
Save your fables;
You fictional ni**as do nothing more, than shake tables;
Frontin, until I sparked your battery, with these jumper cables;
My hustle knows no prejudice, in fact it's in*******al,
I stay with that Gamora & that Marla Maples...

THE PROGRAM

You can't string my life up, like a guitar;
I was born to be much more, than a shining star;
I was born to be much more, than bizarre;
My mind is deep and hard to reach, whether near or far;
The depth within my speech, will leave your mind ajar;
The Dark Knight of this respirator apparatus many call poetry;
I give you the flux, no capacitor s**t, you KNOW it's me;
My wordplay can be abrupt and cause a disaster Sir,
you KNOW who I be;
Screaming at the top of my lungs..."SET ME FREE";
I'm living a life detached from THE PROGRAM so..."LET ME BE"
I find my life's direction, no compass;
Look how many I've already astonished;
From what I've already accomplished...

This is why people are saying stay hydrated 😅. If you zoom in...you can see the sweat on my chest.

The new medical beds (boxed...standing upright...in the very rear of the truck) are what we deliver and set up in customers' homes.

Many times we also remove the customer's old medical bed (mattress and base) to discard at the end of our work day.

I don't need a gym membership. I get paid to work out! 💪🏾💯🥵

We delivered and set up a medical in a customer's condo here on South Beach. It's been 17 yrs since I have been in the area. It has changed considerably.

It's sooooo here in the southern part of . We're delivering and setting up beds.

I STILL PREVAIL
Open your eyes, this life that I embrace is no fairytale;
In fact, it seems that depression knows me, so very well;
I remain an inmate locked up in my own mind's cell;
When s**t seems hopeless, where the f**k else am I supposed to dwell;
When my stomach is growling, what the f**k else am I supposed to sell;
Heaven was snatched up from me, so in turn, I snatched up hell;
There's no changing the channel, it's hard to be saved by the bell;
This feeling didn't happen overnight, this was something that, I was forced to inhale;
There's not enough w**d I can exhale;
To help my frazzled mind prevail;
Oh well,
Even without the wind, I still sail...

I write poetry with pain;
Not so the world will know my name;
Moreso to speak to the lion inside of me, that doesn't want to be tamed;
I was handed the keys, so am I really the one to be blamed;
I am from a city where the blood of many before my arrival remains stained;
Where's the light in a world so dark;
I write poetry, so the motion of my own vehicle doesn't shift into park;
I was born to be a spark,
A set of jumper cables born to jump start;
Here to leave the deepest footprint before it's my time to depart;
All this energy I exert, truly derives from my heart;
Upon the path of being a Top Dog, I embark;
Up the wrong tree, I suggest you do not bark...

It's rather hard to explain,
The abundant amount of thoughts running laps around in my brain;
I need a canvas just to write;
The amounts of discord I've experienced throughout my life;
Tell me what's worse, the grief or the strife;
No need for me to recite;
The differences between wrong or right;
Just know, it's hard to keep a smile on your face, when life is too tight;
I enter the ring like a champ properly trained for this fight;
Even in the darkest hours, I still shine bright;
Thanks to life's lessons my will now matches my might!

The Vulnerable Hitchhiker

I woke up this morning from a dream;
My pillow is still soaked from the tears, that flowed down my face like a stream;
The overwhelming amounts of pain, that I had to ingest, because it was so hard to express,
How I felt so lost within a world that seemed;
Quick to cash in on a man's vulnerability like it's a check;
It was hard for my emotions to take a breath,
There were too many knees on my back and one on my neck...

What must a man do, when he's crying out for a little respect from you;
It was hard to circulate,
when as a man, my emotions society tried to regulate;
Can I just be free,
to breathe in my vulnerability;
There were days when it was SO hard to keep going;
But f**k it; I'm a man, so it was a must that resilience I kept showing;
The pressure to be successful was beyond stressful;
I poured out my soul to a world that seemed so neglectful;

Depression is real,
in fact, far too many times, depression kills;
My dream felt so heavy that in fact, it was surreal;
The emotional well-being of many men are tossed to the side;
Is it really a mystery why our emotions many of us men tend to bury deep inside;
That inner child crying out to be heard finds it easier to run and hide;
Is it easier to die,
When a lifeless world tells you that a man is too tough to cry;
My oh my,
My dream is a revelation that one can debate;
Fact is that a man's vulnerable state,
Often is treated like a hitchhiker the world keeps passing by!

Some think that, I'm cocky as ever;
I still stay with that black umbrella,
Chi-Town state of mind forever;
I still keep one cocked under my Polo sweater;
Traded in my Halo, and if I must say so;
I'm still a Goodfella...trust I lay low...
©️ TRADE IN 09.08.2022

Author - Torch the Poet™️

As a young child, from a heavenly man I was seeking love & support;
Fu**ed up how his new wife treated me like a child she wished had decided to abort;
The devil understood my pain,
And listened to my thunder when it would rain;
The perfect fusion of heaven and hell;
Inside of my spirit..began to dwell;
I was born to excel, no Microsoft;
Some days I'm far from swell, I just might go off...
F**k no, I'm not lost;
In fact, it's quite the opposite;
This is another freestyle poem that I deposit;
May it serve as another composite...

After The Great B.I.G.,
Pls consider me, historically;
The greatest at using words metaphorically,
Far from subpar,
so it's hard 2 label me categorically;
This is real life, not a game of Scattegories;
The flash from this camera makes a crowd scatter & tell stories...

©️SAY CHEESE (FLASH) 08.26.2022

Author - TorchthePoet ™️

I don't write poetry with the hopes of getting paid;
That's an oxymoron like a white brother name Murray using pomade;
And wearing a doo-rag with the hopes of getting waves;
Better off sticking to a tapered cut or a classic fade...
