It Was All A Dream Poem by Laquory Jones

Woke up this morning hoping it was all a dream
Life is never what it seems especially
When we go through our daily things & same
Routines Loud silence has me going to extremes
To the point I'm thinking excessively so many
Stories told in one week it's beyond belief
Under all this buried grief just searching for
Some sort of relief pushing back my
Emotions against a shelf but I'll admit that
It rarely helps sometimes it's hard to play
With cards that we're dealt I guess that's
How the process of healing works itself
With emotional baggage felt now I'm spilling
Guts to you perhaps it was long overdue

Tears spilling truth waterfalls leaking through
when ones fall another breaths anew
So many things becoming hard to chew
At the age of 28 still so many things that I had
To see as of late perhaps in the end it'll
Make me a better human being I don't truly
Know but in 2019 we seem to be losing
A lot of vibrant souls guess the pain of it
Is taking a toll is it me or its blistering cold
Only if life was filled with glittered gold
With a lavished lifestyle Hollywood always sold
Sometimes I wish that I had a time machine
Excuse me if I act a little selfishly perhaps
It's the immaturity sinking into my
Insecurities wanting to give you more
Pleasantries but its been hard dealing
With struggle at maximum capacity

Lately I've been getting lost in the fray
Hoping it could help me find a
Path to take perhaps help save some lives
That are at stake it's these feelings that
I could never shake the ground trembles
As my feet begins to quake heart beating
At an erratic pace I guess it's just the
Struggles that we as humans continues
To face everyday but let me be your
Guiding light your shining guide
Yeah I know you can feel these vibes
Together we'll get through this alright
