So lost... No finding me now!
I could have yelled.
I could have kicked and screamed until you noticed,
but you were in a conversation and seemed focused.
You haven't told me to value myself,
just to mind my manners.
Minding matters is exactly what i shall do.
Im practicing table etiquette in the desert,
shaking hands with cannabalistic tribe members.
I'm practicing addition while managing malnutrition. Im practicing dance moves while they're planning my extradition. I wouldve lived, but I  know I'd draw attention, so I mind my manners and head alone in the other direction.
What do you think of the dialogue? How can I improve my writing? Leave a helpful comment!
Last night
My dreams
Were full of
Worsening pandemics
Dramatic climate change
And nuclear war!
Induced by alcohol
And falling asleep
With the radio on!
And i have awoken
With a head that is sore
And shell-shocked from my dreams
Personally
If i have a nightmare
I prefer more traditional ones
Like being naked in public
And/or
Being chased
By a cannabalistic randy headless swan!
But no swan-upping for me
As i stick to my pen
Whilst it bleeds
Ink on paper
Words forming
Slightly illegible
Like a drunken spider
Has crawled across
The pages of my scrawls
