You beat me.
Choked me out.
Told me I couldn’t
live without you.
Escaped the horror story that
you played the antagonist in.
I remember the day you
told me no one would
read what I pen.
I won’t let your ungodly sins
ruin how I view myself within.
Those days are over.
When you placed
that gun to my head,
you were dead to me then.
You always said you didn’t
mean to take it that far.
I don’t believe that.
I don’t know who you are.
The strength you tried to
smother and cover up
eventually oxidized
and revived on its own.
I just needed to be shown
and reminded of my worth.
For your sake, I hope
heaven is on earth.
Cause I’m sure if not, your
place in hell is reserved.
I won’t be concerned.
You get what
you deserve.

We All Must Go
My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Excellent work R.P. ☺️👏 I’d missed this one. So much PHOAR! I was also about to say have you expanded on this from a prior piece at all?… there were a couple of lines that felt familiar from you.. yet maybe this is just my recognition of your exploration of certain themes. 🤔

This imagination is another level
‘Now I write to escape the horror story that you played the antagonist in.’ That’s the way. Love that for you. 🩷 Between Megan’s “Hiss” and your poem, I’m feeling so inspired this week.
RP...you just have a gift...for this kind of beauiful grit. This is art, but wiht a beating heart and haunted soul. It takes a lot of courage to write something like this. So honest, raw and ultimately positive. Well done and congrats on Top Story!
