Stereo-what?!

The Valleys of my imagination lead to a destination where stereotypes are nothing more than the makes and brands of musical and audio devices. But society will tell you that due to my background and lack of eloquence in my speech, I am involved in vices...drugs, partying and stolen devices. This is not me, my stream of pure thought create a waterfall of emotion...hashtag no tears! 

Given my age it is assumed I'm a technological fiend with a passion for only the latest releases however....I will not exchange my liberty for the sake of material gains, clothes with names and speech without thought, I am worth more than a look and judgement. 

Yes I'm a 25 year old father of two from Clapton hackney, east London, I've been involved in gangs and violence in my teenage years but like every living being on earth, I have evolved....from an ape to a homo sapien, a child to teen but most importantly a teen to an educated gentleman...stereotype are nothing more than meaningless words of the ignorant. Judgement based on someone else's opinion who knows nothing more about you than your appearance...stereotypes carry no substance yet I...I am more than a stereotype, I am me. 

I say "Sola Virtus Invicta" to the closed minded and ignorant, your strength of character far outweighs any words formed against you.

Struggle to Express...

(The following poem is about an 'idea' of a feeling, not about a person). 

Allow me to massage the loins of your mind

Let me exfoliate the surface of your being with the cleansing words of my true feelings

Grant me your permission to exploit your greatness
The pressure of my love for you is considerably weightless

My mind does overtime thinking about you
I become immersed with envy when I see guys winking at you

Everyday The depth of my love sinks deeper within
You are mine and only I can comprehend the fulfilling numbness of the feelings I possess

So re-read what I just wrote...finally got my feelings off my chest

Be in Touch

Sadhguru once said "we live in a world where social forms of insanity are accepted." I agreed. I suffer from cancer of the thoughts, a contorted imagination and a consortium of somewhat odd...emotions. When people try to justify the existence of actions resulting in ill feeling of others....they themselves have insecurities regarding their own personal battles with life...

Writing/Reading

I awoke; not knowing the contents of my soul

So I flicked through the glossary of my imagination and decided that I'll read the first chapter of writing and reading my own poetry

Chapter by chapter I thought of and dismissed many ideas until I decided that I'll be happy; what I wanted was to be happy

So, as the story continued I was continuously interrupted by my thoughts; thoughts relating to happiness.
I put a bookmark in the book that I was writing that i was reading and allowed myself to think

Heres the joke; I thought I knew what would bring me happiness but then I realised that writing this book that I was reading was actually my personalised manual to happiness.....and I wrote it

My poetry was indeed my happiness

I vowed to entrust in my words and with that, happiness would soon come

So I came to the conclusion that I'd write, read and edit my "Book of Happiness" in order to suit me

It's essential that we all write, read, write and read the "Book of Happiness".

Discover what makes you happy and be happy with your discovery

By the way- the "Book of Happiness" isn't actually a book...its errr...its actually about the message in the poem....Create your own happiness

My Mind's Vacation

I may stand in front of you and be totally absent
They say the brain controls our being; so while my mind wonders into the abyss of...
I don't know
My body remains where I stand
Without my mind; I am merely a 5ft 9, 11 and half stone, tattoo covered, brown skin object

We're engaged in a conversation but all I could think about is this foreign city called HOPE
Where my mind comfortably sunbaths under the rays of PROSPERITY, sipping on cocktail with the sweet taste of FAITH...FAITH in me and my ability to expand my mental capacity and experience life for what it is;

I don't mean to be rude.

Turning a dream into reality becomes our biggest priority
Our conversation is still important to me but I am no longer here

My body remains but my thoughts are inattentive
I am here but I'm not...

I'm Me...

Do not accept me for what I am; accept me for who I am
Actually;
Thats an unfair request since I do not know the man I've become
Since the battle between my conscience and imagination is won...
But by who?

You see...

My conscience answers questions relating to subjects that will implicate my future
While my imagination answers questions relating to doubt and self belief
So which one do I focus on?

Who I am is me; its that simple

Until I understand the way in which my mind works; I cannot demand that you as my peers understand the pains and struggles which I battle each day;
Inside my mind while trying unwind the tangled thoughts my life has created
And inside I'm berated, in fact I'm infuriated that I cannot understand the person I've become

So how could I possibly expect you to?

I am me; just accept me for who I am

Voids

Confused thoughts perspire through the pores of my mind
I feel lost...
What purpose do I Serve?
I'm tryna establish the roots to my feelings;
Or at least understand the reason why my feelings lack intention
What are these emotions intending to do with my mind?
Misguided feelings have me in a room where no floor, wall or ceiling exist
Am I floating? Nah I'm not floating
I'm sitting in a bottomless pit of misguided thoughts
Or do I remain suspended in this Abyss of a void Galaxy
Im tired...
I've exhausted my thoughts and I'm still lost

Writer's block is a bitch!!

Good Morning

Open the curtain to your mind
Let in the bright rays of life
Feel the warmth & freshness of new knowledge
Crawl out the bed of procrastination
Dress yourself in colourful ideas
Flush the toilet of self doubt
Digest the qualities of a winner
Leave home; number 1 Comfort Zone Drive

Open your mind to new beginnings and set denial free

Have a good day :-)
