What we do not want
We keep our eyes shut
in fear
of what we might see
of ourselves...
we keep our ears closed
for fear
of what we might hear
our heart says...
when our hands shiver
when our mind hesitates -
we know
we know
what we do not want to know...
“Oblivious to the Obvious”
What I could normally see,
I can see no more,
Blind to what stares me in the face,
My vision suddenly blurred,
Others hand me aids,
To help me see more clearly,
Clouded in too much thought,
Fearful of my feelings,
My literacy like that of a newborn,
Unable to see what’s in front of me,
Analyzing every last detail,
To learn how to read,
Mixed signals come my way,
As optimism and pessimism collide,
Hope that history does not repeat itself,
Yet doubts enter my mind,
Some Aching
Denial
to mitigate the
affirmations
A discarded
fence post
sun beaten
Rejected
of earth
piss ants
Nest in
its shattered
bowels
A spider
has stitched
an erratic
Web of denial
