I can feel a change comin’ like a storm’s brewing.Fearful of this change, but unconsciously I know not what I am doing.I’m better than this. I shouldn’t feel this way.Should just count my losses and fight another day.It can’t rain all t.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/222299/ I’ve been down this road many a times.I should know how this ends, but my world remains silent like a planet of mimes.What did I do to deserve this unjust treatment?I managed to stay on the straight and narrow but I’ve managed to crash head first into the cement.Now I’m stu.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/222297/ It all started on the 27th day of September 1977. It was the day my soul awoke and came down from Heaven.Ever since then , my life has been nothing less than a blessing.Sometimes, my world feels tight as if the walls are compressing.It’s hard to but I still can’t seem to shake th.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205104/ It seems the only way for me to be at peace is to use the pen and paper.My dreams always come out strong and manage to disappear like water vapor.I love my best friend, but this is no ordinary love.My feelings for her run deep like still waters and are tight knit like a latex glove.I love he.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205101/ I kick my s**t just like I kick a freestyle. I just reached the top, waiting for me to fall off, it'll be a while. Funny, how you're in a f****n pickle like a Vlassic. Your s**t is noteworthy but my s**t is classic. When focused, I'm more lethal than a sniper. Never back me in a corner, cu.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205092/ Ten months have passed….now’s a good time to make a return.Going back to basics, a journey to when the fire will once again burn.Back to my origin, where it all started.A retrospective of a life which I abruptly departed.Back to my roots, where I learned my swagger.A bold indi.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205089/ Born I was on the 27th day of September.Lay dormant I did, with nothing to remember.It was his life to control, until I saw fit.Nineteen years was long enough for me to sit.Spine was rigid, but still remained weak.His life was a bore, adventure is what he seeks.November 18, 1996.….. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205086/ Is this it? This is not how my story ends…I feel hopeless like someone who sits back and pretends.I will fight to the death to change this outcome.But I can’t lift my arms to defend, it’s like my body went numb.I will not let you win like this.I pick up my fist to swing,.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205084/ I still can’t believe it took five years to reach my dreams.But it only took you nine months to destroy ‘em or that’s the way it seems.Why me? You let the power go to your head.Shoulda just finished me off and left me for dead.Now you have to live with the reality that I&rs.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205081/ Sometimes I feel so damn empty inside.Hollow like the tree behind which I hide.No organs, no brains but I manage to stay alive.I felt like I’ve been stung by the residents of an angry beehive.There’s no way to describe the way I feel.Tossed away like a banana peel.This all ha.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/hataman/205076/ As I sit here writing this under the stars, enjoying a pleasant November evening, I’m reflecting on the friendship we share.
