G.S Ortiz Poems

I woke up early in the morning to the familiar smell of huevos con chorizo being cooked.

A familiar breakfast that would give the strength to once and for all liberate me from this pit of despair.
...

The desire to be live free from ones own self doubt, burns at first with glowing embers that are ignited a 100 times a day.

Years could pass before one eventually takes hold.
...

Oh my god I just cat fished someone,
says Mary as she adjusts her make up in front of her full body mirror.
Mary a good friend of mine who was a vivacious BBW, Big Beautiful Woman.
Mary was the type of girl that didn't attract much attention from the guys in our area.
...

America is not for the good or the clean.

Its old and dirty.
...

If you think I'm better than you....

Let me say that I am not.....
...

It was nothing more than a quick flash.

So fast there was nothing he could have done to prepare for it.
...

I simply write to slow down the quicken paced river that sometimes over flows an already drowning mind.

Within the lines of these sheets of paper are my attempts to lay rest an uneasy past.
...

It's a cloudy night as I wander down the streets of an already dark and dismal existence.

No more childish fantasies of rainbows and unicorns.
...

I can take the love and abuse.
The respect and lies.

I was born to be like this.
...

Saturday afternoon chilling on the third floor balcony watching all the people enjoying their saturday as well.

Radio in the background playing Sabor a mi.
...

Glad I'm able to put a smile on your face... To tell you the truth I never cared too much about putting a smile on a strangers face but she gave me a different kind of vibe.

I explained to Annabel.
I first met Annabel years ago while hanging around her younger sister. Annabel was very fortunate by earning a masters in education. She had the drive and smarts to get out of our small town.

The Best Poem Of G.S Ortiz

Phoenix Eats Chorizo Con Huevos.

I woke up early in the morning to the familiar smell of huevos con chorizo being cooked.

A familiar breakfast that would give the strength to once and for all liberate me from this pit of despair.

There was a presence of light that morning just a sliver really.

Just enough to shine and illuminate the parts that were void of hope.

We were all meant to seek out the origin of our pain guided by the truth embedded in this light.

Everyday we convince ourselves that we are unprepared for the task of living.


I now realize the true standards of life are inadequate to measure our limitless desire to simply live free.

I would never absolve myself from the pain and destruction cause by me to the ones who cared and loved me.

Simply because I arose from my own ashes like some mythical Phoenix. Realizing only that the strength given to me to rise came from the very same people I hurt.

Bettering myself everyday just isn't enough. I can only succeed if I earn the trust by the ones who love and believed in me.

I will wear the pain that I caused like scars ripped across my body and into my corazon as a reminder of all the horrors that use to be.

They will serve as memories of the past as I look into the future and the beauty that lays Just around the bend, out of sight but not out of my imagination.
