I keep waking up
sideways
as the light blazes
into my eyes
orange behind
these sleepy lids
and I stretch like
a little kid.
I had a dream
that my room
was a tent
and it was filling with water
again
and
again
I abandoned my home
swam to shore
and it was over
as I sat among
the Venus flytraps.
I had a dream
with all the wrong people
the ones that
I let
hold me back
the ones I allow
to make me feel like crap.
I had a dream
things
were different
and I wasn’t codependent
love
did not need
and love
did not need to be
pined for.
I had everything
I thought I wanted
and more.
No wonder
I keep waking up
sideways.
Simply beautiful.
