surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
Life…
I don’t know what the hell it is that you want from me This thing - we are living is consuming my peace Having intense - internal conflicts, and life altering dreams About my dead mother living, giving advice to me ***The dream only gets worse - for effects, maybe betterI’m serving dinner to your crazy, manipulating, ex lover The one you divorced me for, when she learned she was pregnant Because faithfulness and loyalty are considered malignant ***I know it’s just a dream, we have only met onceI met her as she stopped by one day- to pick up your sonThe one that I help raise, and he’s calling me momWhile she still sends naked pictures to your phone Do you think I am dumb?***22 years younger than me, but I’m supposed to be past itThat alone destroyed my confidence and made me feel like shitLeft to figure it out, all alone like an outcast But I am finally getting better, beginning to move past it ***So, I guess I should thank you for showing me what I’m made of I may be getting older, but my heart is full of love For this boy in my life- I would never have metIf I had remained your wife and we were still playing pretend
