A Blind Eye

 

Can I turn a blind eye?

Say to myself

“It is what it is” or

Turn a face of denial?

 

I can turn it on

Right or wrong.

Trying to stay strong

For however long.

 

Torment, a reality

Eats away at the core.

Continue to pray,

Pray to My Lord.

 

Can I turn a blind eye?

Say to myself

“Yes I can”

I’m in denial.

 

Lord, do you feel

My broken heart?

It hurts.

Torn, torn apart.

It is what it is, one day at a time- sometimes these words strike us like a club.
Other times- they are the air we need to breathe.

Breathe.

This poem has a sad beauty looming over it. Well written. Never turn a blind eye to your heart though, let it shine and be happy.
