Blinded by Darkness

Born into the light


Only to be blinded by darkness


Thought I'd be reaching skies


But tied up in these stereotypes


I'm bound by


I could be anything they said


Just not a dreamer or a believer


Not a preacher nor a sinner


Not a speaker nor a listener


Anything but


Love who I wanted


Or do what I wanted


But never chase dreams


They silenced


Me when I spoke my mind


Followed by intuition


But sunk in tides


Of societal obligation.


I don't dream anymore


I don't find the meanings of words


Or the mystery of untaken roads.


I don't love the woman I love


Its unnatural


Says the man above


Or made up lies to dull


The aching hurt.
