I know now, I have been forever hiding,
Like a newborn, I do not know if I come from light…
Or its darkness that I have left behind…
But it is blindness I see.
A sudden unforgiving blindness.
Maybe my shadow has caught up with me,
The darkness within that I couldn’t hold..
Can I burn these shadows down?
Can I shout this darkness away?
I hold my candle in my hand,
Watch the wax burn my skin,
Let the flames play in my hair…
The stench of truth singe my being
Ever so often life finds it there…
The blindspot in my soul
Where light does not live
And the vision of life itself fades into nothing.
