Open Eyes

Open eyes ~~~~~~~~~ At a time not far past the realization don upon me, all the cruelties and injustice inflicted by an unlearned guardian of my childhood and dreams had somehow imparted to me the very qualities and malice I had vowed to dispel in the world So in ignorance and pain into this suffering world a nascent monster was born Atrocities he committed in the guise of a protector, ravenous and rabid A force of unrelenting retribution, might made him right The terrible re maker of innocence did her job too well The spilling of blood became easier to the tormented soul The inner conflict and turmoil became too much to bear Awareness of truth, a face in the fractured mirror I do not know it’s not me, it can't be Divine intervention turned darkness to light Yet still each and every day it's an ongoing fight.
