(fantasy disguised as truth)
Baby girl
You need to lean into it
Trust your intuition further
Learn to discern
Don't be so easily
Bamboozled
You need to differentiate
What is reality
From what is fantasy
Pure fiction
Divide truth from delusion
Bless your heart
Calling it optimistic
Hear the warning bells
Don't give in to false hopes
Empty promises given
Of a forever
The dream you are being sold
A false prophecy
A broken record
A repetitive trust fall
Into oblivion
Dissect what feels certain
Scrutinize what feels secure
Become aware
Of what gifts
Your present moment holds
Cherish deeply
What you hope to be everlasting
Before it inevitably
Withers away
Decomposition
Everything decomposes afterall
There is no escaping the decay
The beautiful putrid misery
Of endings
The agony of goodbyes
Cannot be translated
Into mere words
My vessel
Only carries so much water
& Yet somehow
I feel as though
My tears will forever be
Endless

Canadian Author and Poet from Ottawa 🇨🇦
I consider poetry a form of alchemy ✨
My poetry style is free verse and explores a range of heavy emotions.
As an empath, I feel everything so deeply.
As a Gemini, I know just how to put it into words.

Bamboozled is such a great word! And decay of beautiful putrid misery is some great imagery!
