The Blind Fool

Nope you’re the blind fool,
eyes closed to everything here;
Authenticity; 
Quirky and always honest 
always lighting up a room;

So absentminded, 
one time was one too many; 
Boiling; festering;  
It swallowed you like arsenic, 
poisoning you so slowly; 

You put blinders on 
to all of that potential 
right in front of you;
Why entertain naysayers?
Ignore the fool in your head.
