Blinded Poem by Crystal Johnson
Blinded
I'm not the girl you think I am
You're blinded by my smile
I have so much to tell you
Sit down, this will take a while
You live in your own world these days
You seem to shut me out
You dont see me standing infront of you
You don't hear me when I shout
You pretend this life is perfect
You dont want to see the truth
You think we're a happy family
And you say that I am proof
But things aren't what they seem to be
Oh, if you only knew
The things that go on when you're not around
The things I secretly do
I don't do drugs or alcohol
I dont load up on dope
I don't smoke pot with all my friends
I dont fill myself with coke
Instead I call and scream for you
But yet, you never hear
Why can't you see my hurting
To me it's perfectly clear
For once would you just listen
Just once would you please care
I just need you to love me
Just once you need to be there
I'm tired of trying to hide it
I need you to open your eyes
You're way to proud to see it
So listen and swallow your pride
I can't be the child you want me to be
And I dont think I ever will
You need to accept the girl I've become
You need to love me still
So look beyond your make-believe life
And past all your fairytale dreams
Unblind yourself with reality
And you just might see the real me
Crystal, you also must try to accept yourself and embrace yourself as someone special.
Wow..........I am so suprised that you write....and that you write so beautifully Crystal! I am so happy you've joined this site! Sincerely, Mary
I saw one line in this that struck me like a bolt of lightning! Unblind yourself with reality! I can't help but wonder, how many of us live in 'the way we want things to be' and need to be unblinded with reality? What a beautiful thought. Scarlett
Very good it this to your father or just a guy? I liked it either way (ha told ya I'd read your stuff!) Lylyanna
Great stuff...I can tell that you and your aunt are related...you both write well. Keep it up I se much promise in you.
Hi Crystal, I have to agree with Jerry and Ernestine. Fantastic stuff. Few teenagers are capable of putting their angst this well. this shows real promise. And this is the first one I've read. Many regards, Denis Joe PS. I am not taking orders from Mary, if I thought you were no good, I wouldn't have written anything, believe you me.
Now that was a lovely read, Crystal, it flowed beautifully and I felt every verse. Love Ernestine
