“Drowning Myself” by D.T. Ruth

A little lost, a little broken but I’ll be alright I’ve been trying to execute on dreams like every single night I can get them started but I feel so overwhelmed I just end up freezing up and trying to drown myself in the warmth of all this booze but my trust is all that melts

I decided to put my poetry into Midjourney AI to see what would pop out! Pretty cool results!!

Be You. Live R.E.A.L.

Red Flags

I don’t want to see you but you implore
Got me feeling weak,
a horrid scene,
as I ignore
every red flag on the concourse
You take siege of my needs
I’m a fiend for your encore

Drowning

I’m drowning in my doubts
and
couldn’t swim with sorrow
so I occupy my time thinking ’bout tomorrow
but
nothing ever really works
the way I plan it
I planted plenty seeds and I’m still so famished
I tried to cut my teeth and there’s no progress
Dammit
But my mama needs me so I got to manage
I’ma hit these streets on a mission
Frantic
until I far exceed all my dreams
I’m manic

How Can I Sleep?

How can I sleep
when my mind is fiending
for some growth
The bottom of the heap is
where I came from
I’ma go
wherever I choose
There’s no restrictions on this road
If I think it, I conceive it
so I’m working on these goals
