woozy

a poem.

Woozy is my weary heart

Who wonders what it feels like

To not be watched with heavy judgement

But infinite whirls of brightness in their sighs.

What will it take to be promised such exciting rest?

Will it mean in sacrifice my life I'll have to give?

Washing my own hopes of a beloved, away from my hands.

Don't let them know what they've seen is false,

That the water runs thick and mean.

Ruby Red

Heya friend, I'm Red!

I write poetry, so subscribe for a hint of vulnerability, some honesty and the occasional glimpse behind my mask 🌱

Taking a break from Vocal; focusing on my anthology 🫶💖

AI is not art.
