I blamed the universe... Before I blamed you. You held a blindfold over my eyes with tears in it; allowed me to sight only part of the scene before me. I blamed the trees with the burnt branches; they bent ever so slightly to tickle you and lure you out to play. I blamed your tribe; they put you on a pedastal, a pedastal that did not stay still for you to lay. I blamed the leaves and the salt; they coerced you to mould into someone Unknown to me. Unknown to you. I blamed myself; as I knew the blade would not go as deep as it would, if I Confessed to blaming you. But In the end..... You made the choices that brought a shard of glass down upon our ties. I say you blindfolded me... But in reality I know, it was me, me holding that blindfold....allowing you to recite all those lies. If only I knew how colourful the world could be without it obstructing my view. Red and yellow and pink and green Purple and orange and blue....... I can now sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too.

The truth can open your eyes to so much more. Don't ignore it, face it and rise above it.... Begin to live.
