Self Taught Blindness Poem by Sandra jacks

Self Taught Blindness



I thought I could fool myself,
lacking the reality I once had,
I fell back into the past,
and once again it drove me mad,
no not angry,
but yes crazy,
lost within this haze of life,
or at least what I thought was life,
until it became a deeper hurt,
this time it became much worse,
a desire to...die...

I thought I could fool myself,
turns out that my thoughts were wrong,
instead of fooling I just made it worse,
instead I chose to play along,
with the games of people everywhere,
pretending not to care,
but I did,
and in the end it almost cost me...
everything...everything,
even my L-i-f-e...

I thought I could fool myself,
but even I know that's just a trick,
ignoring my own conscience,
well some would just call that
plain sick,
and yes it is,
and yes it was,
The monster I became,
was the monster I....became...
did I ever change?
Did I?
