Best Poems Written by Dominic Perez

INEEDAIR

Spaces filled with twisted views & useless opinions
Enemies dressed as friends,family and lovers
True friends cast in the shadow of anothers facade
The world blinded to their greatness
Flaws amplified by a thousand and one 
By one to cover a thousand and one flaws
Told that I’m just a leaf in the breeze that hasn’t been let go
Shown that even your dreams will one day come along and unapologetically hurt you
Its my fault
Only after the flood...its all good while the faucets running 
Water never bothered nobody that can swim
Sometimes drowning seems like winning 
When surviving isn’t living 
Breathing stale air dying slowly by my own poison
Masked before the necessity 
inevitably 
Now forced to be masked excessively 
Not just physically include emotionally & mentally
Im hiding all of my rage behind the same smile that reeled you in
What worthwhile do we have left if caring becomes the sin
