MASK ON

Posted on by Jixi Fox

part one / part two

Now it’s acceptable to walk in the bank with masks on,
Has the world spared me of felonies,
The future is going forward,
Everything else is passed on,
Who lies behind the cloth?
Is it you?
How long have you wanted to be hiding from the truth?
Being able to say empty the register
Use to get you in trub,
Now people closing accounts for toilet paper,
Saying that’s a dub,
Miss being in club throwing dollars,
Now at home now you got to be a father,
Who are you underneath the cloth?
Are you hard as you say?
Or you are charmin soft?
The world change,
People change,
People go insane,
If you can hold a photo of you in your pocket,
Could you still see yourself,
After the difficulties and pain?

I wrote the poem to enhance it’s changing times. Even though I chose a storyline to go with, the message is the same. Are the different person after things change around you? Were these things you held so dearly? When you look at life now, do you see the picture now more clearly?

I have always seen difficult times, so I had to adopt. But the memories of my past, will not be forgotten. Every moment crafted me into the human standing today, writing poetry and stories to help people open their eyes and minds to think. Be the self you always wanted to be…you are a story in progress, developed over time, until you have said what you wanted to be said, and get everything off your mind.

Leave a comment of a time you really wanted to change, but never had the opportunity and how you felt in those times.

Scared To Go Outside

Posted on by Jixi Fox

The noise,
The mess,
The stress,
It’s not it’s best,
When outside,
In my bed,
Under the sheets,
I hide,
I climb the walls,
Depressed,
Compressed,
To my loneliness,
Outside is a void,
I use to dance and sing in,
The wind is blowing,
In a deep fog,
I am sinking in,
I can’t exit today,
For what is tomorrow,
I am stuck inside,
I wish I had a lifeline,
I can borrow,
Nothing is solid,
Liquid are most of my thoughts,
I shower away my guilts,
Quickly as I dry,
They reappear.

How Many Days Has It Been?

Posted on by Jixi Fox

I forgot,
So I must ask,
How many days has it been,
Since I was isolated from my pen,
Haven’t written a word,
But lost in my thoughts I have been,
Quarantined, isolated,
I have inhaled it all,
But have yet to exhale anything,
I am not breathing right,
My air is not filled with answers,
But despair,
For more fears start sinking in,
Masks on,
I am afraid for the wind,
For where is the care,
When are practicing Social distancing,
Out world is changing,
In time things will be relieved,
How far can I go in my industry,
If there is no relief,
No protection,
Little tools to use,
But there are suggestions,
Eyes glued to the news,
Or Youtube,
Or IG doing Tik Tok dances,
Trying to find peace in a message…
How many days have it been?
Since…

To Be Continued…

Quotes & Captions

People hide from themselves daily,
Believing they fooled the world,
Taking from people who have nothing,
Believing those people have the world,
To only find out,
We all have a battle we are fighting,
Just that some of it you can’t see,
Until you step in my shoes,
Trust me you don’t want to be me.

Music That Brings Back Memories

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Music is a big influence in my life. I have quite a few songs and albums that have defined my life & moments in my life. Whether is my love life, my anxiety phase, when I felt I was emotionless, music really came in for the save. So when I hear certain songs, or thoughts of certain lyrics I am quick to put my Spotify subscription to use on my iPhone to jam to whatever song I want to at that given moment. I am a big fan of headphones, so I probably will do a review of a few of my favorites, as I absolutely own about 12 pairs of headphones. Trust I know, a bit obsessive right? But if you love music as much as I do, you would see why.

Anyways, today’s music story I want to share is more of my love of music as whole and the battle between The Backstreet Boys and Nsync. I am big fan of The Backstreet Boys, c’mon who does love the songs, “Everybody” “Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely” “Quit Playing Games With My Heart” “I Want It That Way” “As Long As You Love Me”. Well I think this was my first experience with enjoying a boy group/band out of the realm of “Boyz II Men” is which is amazing.

And then out nowhere comes Nsync in which I was super hating on, I will not lie. I was caught in the battle that you had to choose a team. But my music taste burst open, when Nsync released, “No Strings Attached”. This is probably one of favorite albums all times, I can probably say it’s in my top 25 favorite albums of all times. With amazing songs such as “Bye Bye Bye” “No Strings Attached” “Digital Get Down” “Just Got Paid” “Space Cowboy”.

I just love this album so much. The energy and music composition was just top tier. It’s crazy because this was an album I admitted to a girlfriend I loved and we enjoyed relating to group and the music. So it’s crazy every time I listen any of the songs, I can’t help but think of her. So I guess that’s something I have to live with. At first it was (tough) as a guy from Bronx, New York to say, hey I enjoy music from Nsync, when it came out at the time, but this album/music taught me, the meaning of good music is just good music. Good music is worth enjoying. And to add more flavor to it all, their music videos were amazing and sold the songs a million times over.

HEART BREAK

As the story was all about joy…then came the heart break, and the song “Gone” was just so sad and expressed me losing the one of the loves of my life, my girlfriend at the time. I am not going to lie, I think this song made me cry as well. There was so many emotions building up and it was just there. To this day it gives me goose bumps, it’s a really good song. It’s definitely a good break up / heart ache song to add to a playlist.

I hope you enjoyed my story…shares yours with me, I would love to read it.
