#blinded poems on Hello Poetry

Daniel Irwin Tucker Jan 21

We usually say "step into the light"
when there's nothing but night
but do we say "step into the night"
when the light is so bright that it
not only blinds but burns out our eyes?

When extremist's play their games
to blind our sensitive eyes
it doesn't matter if they're
using darkness or light

It's all the same if you're snowblind
or just left alone in the dark
whether it's viral or bacterial
it's still an infection

Feeling our way in the heavy black
air – too thick to breathe
fumbling around in the light
gray
air -- too thin to breathe

Caught in the loop of groping
the walls of our minds
in twilight
struggling to refocus in moonlight
then so exhausted by daybreak
that we sleep it all off until dusk

Too much darkness
Too much light
Too much cold
Too much heat
Too much pleasure
Too much pain
Too much sunshine
Too much rain
You can have too little
or too much of anything.

Released

Time unwinds
crashing thoughts bind
reverse control we all ask why
We question man
pride-slammed
come to realize let's take a stand
Blemished
NAH
Time is planned
Our words are used against us
With deepest thoughts, ignorance is taught this world will die and stupidity is why we choose it
I clear my throat and release all hope
I know the universe has our definition.

Define American Dream
Define Land of Free
Describe how time detains our land
A Million Wonders school books dumber
The world believes
come over
Modern-day blemish
In it to win it
Life lost Wonder and
money defines who represents us

Poor Man Stand

I was what you wanted

If you start questioning it,
she will too,
and then she'll be grateful
that you made her stop and think about it all
because she'll realize you were never
what she wanted.

But what it'll take you a while to realize
is she wasn't what you wanted
either.

Forgetting you

Looking back on it,
I realize it was all lies.

All the "sweet" things you said,
they were just to blind me from the truth.
You never meant a single word.

So I've decided it's not worth remembering lies
and that I'm better off forgetting
you.

It's her whom you love now

Let me guess...
She's your favorite person;
she helps relieve life's burdens;
she's the one you text late at night,
and you think she's absolutely perfect,
right?

You made up some metaphor
to make her blush more than ever before.

And she's the one you'll dream about
because it's her whom you love now.

Love in the Darkness

Underside the sea of loneliness.
Deep down - Deep down.
Depleted in despair.
Lost in the world of endless fear.

Thought mayhaps I can't do it around here.
Oh! In this world of fear.
Waiting for you, my dear.
Sigh! Just have to dare.
Push out such of a darkness, wierd or mere.

Come in within to stay.
Stay in here, beyond May.
My heart twinkles an image of you as a statue clay.
Await more, but till another day.

blinded

so blinded by the rose tint of my glasses
so far-sighted whenever i thought of you grinning from ear to ear
yet i was so nearsighted whenever you were here

now that i'm slowly correcting my vision
maybe my prescription isn't a perfect 20-20
but i feel like i've reflected and understood plenty

at best, you're just an acquaintance, not a friend
yeah, i might be seeing things 20-21
but to me, everything we did was never just for fun

Far From An Angel To Rebel

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, looks like far is better than the unknown:\

I rephrase I say again haunted by the devils
God is unfair sorting mindlessly things for innocent souls to rebel

why should I be in a no landing deprive ???
of a sunlight in a stream of shallows and happy cries

chains and chords struck my nights would
like a movie scene I want like a music video in snow-none should

guess core in me is blinded in tomorrow edged with rage
seems like I'm the one one hurting myself not them in that cage

belting on drums my heart writes it explodes
far from the cheers and the spotlight affection in the feels I showed

for a ****** serenity in hatred
I hope blood shedding no stays in me sacred

no November curses left to decay a fatal I
no tears left to shed tearing in time

Mask of Love

I loved you more than I loved me
Ignoring all of your flaws
because of what you said to me
Blinded by your love
I just gave you all of me
Now it is clear to me
That you are not who you said you are to be
Fake smiles, fake love, fake grasps
All of which you did just to say you had me
Your love was never what I imagined it to be

Out of truth

Out of truth,
You started wildfires across my heart.
The noxious fumes choke me.
I'm blinded,
But dance in the flames as we persist.
