My mind is filled
With loads of rubble
Thoughts of trouble
An overfilled bubble
Ready to burst
At any time
Without reason
Without rhyme
Amongst a forest
Of needles and pines
What once was mine
Is now behind
Cautiously floating
Danger gloating
Mocking each move
Peddling boos
So close to chaos
Everything to lose
I can’t lose it
Can’t give in
Your selfish agenda
Will not win
Will not overtake
What rights the spin
Blindness begets
Unknowing sin
Well know this
I don’t miss
When I aim
I always hit
Don’t underestimate
Don’t overlook
Don’t ignore
I can’t be shook
You may avoid
You may omit
You may not
Give a shit
You think you know
All of it
Let me assure you
A fire’s been lit
Others see
What you can’t see
What you refuse
Needs acknowledging
There’s wisdom in all
Who presently
Shout your way
Silently
Not for lack of
Effort, desire
In an unused mailbox
Their pleas acquire
you know damn well
They’re sitting there
Unheard, unread
Left for dead
While you avoid
What should be said
Tries to be said
They catapult words
You just shed
Your wall's too high
To scale, to climb
Why waste the time
When there’s nothing behind
Forget it, I’m done
I’m walking out
I won’t be part
Of this failed bout
You don’t want my help
Your luck’s run out
You're on your own
When it bursts
When the bubble pops
When water pours in
No way to stop
I’ll tell you exactly
Where you stand
The blood’s on your
Most capable hands
No way to escape
No place to remand
What’s done is done
You laid the plans
Yes, all of this
Is on your hands
Blindness Begets
