Inside the Mind



U know I find it strange friends are like money most of em change,
Once you grab what you want to obtain they'll remember your name,
After you go in your own lane to keep from going insane,
So you laugh to hide the deepest cuts of your pain,
 Down this lonely road alone, why am I feeling so gone,
Mind off in a zone I often think of coffins,
To be carried off or brought in,
gettin tatts of my nicknames with various crosses on my skin,
Having me just locked away for more than a day or ten,
It's not about who's coming or who came,
It's the one's who see you differently,
And those who stay the same,
Its nothing to killing,
eye witness while involved in a gang,
Positive is key if you know your self,
Always wear your motivation as your safety belt.

Traveon Jermaine

I'm Traveon or you can call me Tra for short I've been writting poetry since I was about 14 years old. I'm a 4 time poet Award Receiver (2 Editors Choice Awards,Published Poet Award & The International Who's Who In Poetry Award) My 1st Editors Choice Award was for my poem What is Love and the 2nd was for my poem Dream. And the 3rd one I received was The Published Poet Award which is for my poem Love and Pain and I've always seen poems as a way of life. My 4th Award The Who's Who In Poetry Award was in honoree of me making relatable poems and also heart felt poems as well as being active here in The Poetry world of Poetry.com. Also I often base all of my poems off of my life experiences and what I've been through over the years. I also have 1 of my poems (What Is Love?) published in The Book "Collected Whispers" which is officially from the organization The Poetry Library. I like to always give my best effort into my work while inspiring others to keep doing well with theirs too. I don't criticize I only motivate and that's something that I will continue to do in the years to come. more…
