Seeing Yet Blind

Seeing Yet Blind

I was a Child...
Like many, Naive...
Innocent and Pure...
Monsters Haunted me...
Shadows Taunted me...
Yet I Believed...
In many things...
In Beauty...
Pain was only temporary...
Nothing More...
I may be Blind then...
I didn't See...

Now I am a Child No More...
More Knowing and Wise...
Corrupted and Tainted...
Monsters now Crawl all around me...
Shadows now Claw me...
I have no Faith now...
Not in anything...
Not in Beauty...
Pain is a Constant Companion...
It's More than enough...
I See now...
Yet I'm Blind...

Is The Seeing of Reality...

Truly Worth...

The Blindness To The Beauty...

Where has my Heart gone...

An Uneven Trade for the Real World...

Oh I...

I want to go Back to...

Believing in Everything...

And Knowing Nothing at all...
