Blind Folds Poem by Shannon Wade

Blind folds
For as long as I can remember
Writing has always been my sure defense
Through these words I am able to reveal a sense of confidence
I’ve never been one to sit back with mainstream and pollute my mind
I’ve always been sagacious; I’ve always view things from a different side
The tales of life now days are bitter
I doubt if they will ever again be sweet
Destiny’s nectar lies beyond me
Yet I still flutter to and from life’s flowers diligently
It tickles me as I observe my fellow foes
Walking about with their eyes close
The signs of life have been placed before their eyes
Yet they carelessly keep walking by
I wish I could
Indeed I’ve tried
To remove the blindfolds from their eyes
