Eye Opener Poem by Tayo Opoka

A cold blackness dawns on you
When you see that it's actually true
So true, there's not much you can do
Because it's finally gotten through:

This somebody you used to know
You never really knew at all,

Those demons you buried long ago
Reawaken causing you to crumble and fall,

The storm that you knew would eventually go
Was on hold to return causing distractions on your protective wall


It was all a lie, life's big blow
Those meant to protect you, now ignore your every plea every call.
