Aren't you?

By TheBardOfBlasphemy

I wonder…

Do you really know what it feels like?

I didn’t think so.
It’s because you are ignorant
And furthermore
You are blind.

I ponder…

Whether you will ever find the strength
To open up your eyes.

But I don’t think so.
It’s because you are blind
And furthermore
You don’t know what it feels like.

I am troubled by this…
Because you haven’t the faintest idea
What it really is.

It’s certainly tragic to be blind
But it is a nightmare to see life
In real life
With screaming eyes wide open.

Right now I’m wondering…
Just how you will ever decide whether to live life
Inside a nightmare or a tragedy.

I don’t think you will
Because it’s already been decided for you

And furthermore
You would have hated this either way

Because ultimately

You and I













Are me.
