Deeper still

In a world where depth is scarce, they roam,
Shallow souls, like pebbles, barely known.
With mirrors as friends, in selfies they prance,
Surface-level delights, no depth to enhance.

Their conversations as shallow as a stream,
Substance a myth, like a far-off dream.
In the shallows, they wade, never to dive,
Content with the surface, where shadows survive.

Their minds, a puddle, not an ocean vast,
Shallow waters, where intellect can't last.
Reflections matter more than what's within,
A world of shallowness, where they begin.

In the shallows, they paddle, oblivious and vain,
Missing life's depths, forever in disdain.
So, let them skim the surface, where they thrive,
In the shallows they dance, where shallowness thrives.

Your words capture this so well. I wonder who those deeper souls really are. Perhaps, even they will never know. Deep thinking can be painful.

When you try to name what you don't understand, you become no different than the shallows.... But you wrote your disdain, just don't make it about other people.

@SW-User In the dance with words, depths elude, yet in disdain, a mirror is found. Not a judgment of others, merely echoes of my own ground, and a beckoning for inspiring change.

@? In the realm of verse where emotions intertwine,
Does it matter whose words compose the line?
If the essence resonates, a poetic blend,
Would the origin of words matter in the end?

Hey a simple yes or no would do 🙏

Nonsensical notions, my dear, I must convey,
Overlooking your request, I went my own way.
Permit me to acknowledge, I won't further mime,
End this charade, for simplicity is your prime.
