It doesn't matter
How deep the water is if
You're drowning in it
"it's not that deep"
"Not a big deal"
That doesn't matter as long makes you feel like **** it matters and you deserve help

You could be drowning in your bathtub
The sea
A bowl of water
It doesn't matter, you can't breathe and deserve/need help

Wear the logo.
Sip the overpriced latte.
Smile like you belong.

But deep down—
you traded truth
for a tag.

Fake gold glows too,
until it rains.

Don’t plant your worth
in damp soil
just to grow rice
for someone else’s plate.

Luxury?
Maybe.
But only if illusion is your favorite fabric.

Real talk—
your worth isn’t worn,
it’s lived.
A broken heart is–

a poet's greatest treasure.
If                               You  

Don’t             Stand

For

Something

You        Will

Fall                  For

Every                         Thing

1 Ring
5 Rings
10 Rings
20 Rings…

I was just sleeping—
walking down the stairs
with heavy feet.

The window cracks
shining light to my face—
tempting me back to bed.
Opposite of a charming kiss
given unto a princess in slumber.



But I cant go to sleep
as she doubled the rings on the door.

So I opened the door
and like a dead corpse,
I faded by the light.

“Ahhh.”

At that moment
I remembered what I dreamt of…

“Lying and Semaniusly”
Blurted out
as I realized
I was already blocked?

“That makes no sense!”
I thought to myself.

Why would they do that?
What was the reason for it?
Was it necessary?

All of these questions
and my mind was tied
to the self-deprecating rings
that stopped me
from searching in this dream.

———————————-

To acknowledge
that I left the dream confused
was frustrating.

But cleanly
I came out of the dream—
and had to check
if it really was a dream…

Contumely so—
I left with a new word.

“Semaniusly”?
This is based of a true story lol. It just happened today after I woke up from my mom ringing the door.

I was having a dream well she was ringing the door and I dreamt of a person that had blocked me had used this word.

This is not the first time I have had an unknown word pop up in my dreams so I did research and gave it meaning by latin roots.

Sema= Sign or Symbol
Nius (in context of the word.) = personhood.

Because it was often used in peoples names like Cornelius.

-ly is an adverb which is in ly|ing.

I’m so tired of it all
And all I do is sit will tears
I just want to end it all
I just disappoint my pears

Tired of lies
And tired of this way
Tired of my eyes
And tired of pain

Numb has me in a grip
And it’s not letting go
So I hope to wither away
I wish to die

Why am I stuck here?

Obsession gripping
Compulsion dominating
Total confusion

Never in this world
I would ever wish to stay
Dreams and not the days
I wish I could stay forever in my dreams and fantasies.
