Sixth Sense
Dom Apr 2020
With death comes a 6 sense
Your scent, your tears  
I can feel when I'm all alone in bed
When no one is around you come to me
Your walk, your cough
I can hear when I am lounging around
At 8am on a lonely day I accept
It’s amazing...when someone dies and you can still feel them see them hear them and smell them so to me I consider this a 6th sense. hope some can relate & you don’t feel so alone. Prayers up for those who have lost a loved one!

I AM
Dom Oct 2019
I am the wind that whistles through the sky
I am the flower that so calmly leans on life
I am the ocean that flows through & through

I am a soul that searches within  
I am the strongest bamboo growing   
I am the cactus that provides you with water but the same cactus that provides the sharpest spines of warning  

I am the butterfly that soars beautifully & freely
I am the sun that sheds light
I am also the dark moon that dims light

He was
Dom May 2019
He was smooth but not understanding
He was charming but not loyal
He was beautiful but a manipulator    
I knew this would come to and end
I knew I was a fool
He was secure but brought my insecurity
He was strong inside but not loving
He was my first but never mine

Poem or Feelings?
Dom Oct 2017
for a long time i've waited.
waited for my parents to care and come pick me up and save me until the day i realized they weren't worth the wait.
since then i've waited for the person i took for granted to just hold and squeeze and say "you are my worth, you are worthy, you defined worth and you showed me to realize what mine is. so for a long time i'll be waiting to see your face . i've waited and hoped that people i surrounded myself with would change. waited for a shift in many hearts. i've waited for so many things for so long and i failed to realize that the one message that was engraved in my head gradually slipped away getting lost into someone else. so again i wait. waiting is painful, exhausting, it is grief. waiting is all that until the day you realize you need not longer wait. so i choose not to wait. For people, for change of hearts,  for saviors, for happiness. it will come to you when the time is right.and you realize the word "waiting" doesn’t  even cross your mind. you've officially realized that you are WORTH more then what you know and what people think you are.

First Love
Dom Mar 2017
You were never good for my soul
But I knew it along
Staying and hoping something would be strong
It turned out to be something that I didn't want
All along I've asked for simple requests and you showed me it wasn't in your best interest
I've given up
From confusion, miss understanding, mis leading and constant fights
I think it's about time we say or goodbyes
I think it’s time I cleanse your skin from mine  
I've had enough
You were someone that I once wanted
That I once thought I could love
But I don't think you're quite enough

What should love feel like?
Should I be discouraged?
Should I be on edge?
Sometimes I feel this should come to an end.
Should love be arguments?
Should love be insecurity?
It's very dangerous if you ask me.
Should it be forgiving?
Should it be all knowing?
Mistakes is a part of love I suppose
But often enough you should receive a rose
Quite frankly I am not enough
But it is as if I can't find someone better?
Perhaps I just haven't meet him yet
My worth is more than a ****** time.
My worth is a lifeline
Is it love? Is it like? Is it lust?
I'm wrapped up.
& I just don't know.

Accepting
Dom May 2016
Everyday you come across many people
Short, tall, black, white, round, slim, pretty and ugly
You learn eventually that these people become gone
Gone is many ways
Gone towards you
Gone towards themselves
Spritrualy, mentally, physically, and financially
The truth is that these strangers are your friends, your lover, your family.
They take you on beautiful strolls to contemplate on life
They take a toll on your life
They take a hold on your life
Accepting the love we think we deserve has hit me the worst
Wherever it may be you would like to be accepted
At school
At home
At work
Anywhere, acception is key
Have you ever wondered why people feel the need to be accepted by someone that truly does not care for their being?
It's an indescribable pain
Being unaccepted can taunt your innerself and make you believe you cannot live without
You're mental and physical frame convinces you to believe that you will never be good enough for anything or anyone
Still people chose to hold on and continue to what cannot be
The madness of this is that while we try to spread love we have not recieved it back and we can but not from the people we deeply desire for

Freedom & Love?
Dom Feb 2016
I wonder if you can see Love
I wonder if it exists where you do not know
Does it just float around from place to place?
Or is it beneath you're heart growing in pain?
Does Love mean anything to you at all?
Does my Love grow through you?
I wonder if you know you are loved in every possible way
From the soul of your heart to the feet on your toes
I wonder if you know Love can change you in every possible way.
So.. be free with your Love

I cry
Dom Feb 2016
I always seem to cry
when I'm happy or sad.
I cry in the night with no one to hear or see my tears
The beautiful dark blue dreamy sky hears
The very majestic moon hears
Crying is my yell
Crying is my voice  
Perhaps I cry because I feel a tad bit out of control?
But of my own life? How can that be so?
I don't know, so I cry
I like to cry for the world at times, it gives me a sense of security for the world
I cry because the world needs healing
I cry because the world needs feeling
I am in pain because I cry
I cry because I am in pain
I cry for the absence of a true love
A love that you wouldn't believed exists until you deal with a deep death
Crying can relief you
Crying can clear your vision
Crying can seek you to a better path, it is like how the world becomes so different after rainy rough day

"No"
Dom Nov 2015
Do people mean what they do?
Is social media the thing to do?
Not to me.
Dumb myself down for other wannabe's?
No, not me.
Nothing can stop your growth but yourself.
So remember and hold,
Tightly hold.
Do you mean it when you say what you want to be?
I say go for it.
Or be a person of "No, Not me"

The young soul
Dom Nov 2015
People may say what they want about me, sad thing is they don't really know me
In my life there has been pain, it'd be better if I was a girl named Jane
Through life I've learned you are truly alone, no one to really hold, none will last forever
My name is Dominique
I know who I am and what I am capable of
I was raised well and all by my nana's loving self
January 15 at 6:45 this young soul lost the love of her life
by God's grace I survive and I strive
Do not ask me why because I do not know why
This young soul will remain through the toughness and pain
This young soul was created to be strong I suppose
I am a sad soul
I am a lost soul
I am a young soul

— The End —
