Open The Shades Poem by Matthew Boisjolie

Open the shades to let in light,
yet the sun has vanished,
turn on the lights yet the power has been drained,
light a candle to see, yet the very oxygen we breathe has been sucked up,
removed for all to suffer,
Travel to the nearest life form to ask the question,
yet you know the answer,
the answer is false in a fake way,
i have crawled on my belly,
for the life that could have been,
and stood on own two feet,
for the destiny i now face,
my insecure delusions emerge,
the smell of desperation,
trying to step through,
to open up and clear the way,
yet when is it my time,
I open the shades on my eyes so i can finally see the truth!
