My Longest Dream of the Shortest Sleep
I wondered if my emptiness was my fault
I wished that my life would immediately halt
My swollen heart was filled with pain
Once realities made me a dreamer
Emptiness would kill me quicker
Than my purse filled with nothing
My longest dream of the shortest sleep
Like admiring shallow waters “so deep!”
Like calling uncertainties the divine truth
To distinguish confusion from depth
Requires courage to stand beneath
People who ranked themselves superior
Oh God, hide me from their poisons
Its sweet odor of everlasting haughtiness
Desperately longed for by ambitious men
