Blind

The ocean waves crash against the sharp rocks. The smell of the ocean is sweet and salty. The air roars in my ears, harsh. Looking down I see my future. I see I see I see Nothing. I close my eyes and wonder, When did I become gullible? When did I become stupid? Why did I believe so many lies? I've been blind folded by rainbows and love. I've been blinded by your mean smiles, thinking they were honest and beautiful. Adults telling me that I am free. Only to have an iron handcuff on my wrist and chains around my ankles. Free? There is no freedom here. Not in my town, Not in my house. Surrounded by disappointment and lies. Take a dee breath. Well no more. I will not be mute. naive. A doormat. I open my eyes, the blind fold falling and crashing against the waves. I see my future. I see my life. I see.
