Blinded

 

I curse the silence

of the morning’s scream

as it wakes the day

giving shelter to reality, and

burying dreams illusion

reminding me that I am real

while laughing at the truth

that smiles inside my shadow

where I cower in innocence

at life’s pointing finger

that accuses me of guilt

as my tears beg forgiveness

in the blinding of a scream

Fiercely beautiful and immersive word play here; it makes every line a powerful experience. I love the juxtaposition of "silence" and "scream", a stunning illustration of the tyranny of morning when night provided the shelter of dreams. As always, you wielded metaphors with finesse and vibrancy, an impressive part of your highly-charged, signature style.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed.

All the thought running

All the thought running through my head running through my head, silent screams, broken dreams, tears and heart tears regrets are sobering and cumbersome when trying to find pieces of peace...

Well written inspiring!
