    Poem Commentary

    This is my reflection on going from a happy idealist to a bitter cynic and everywhere in-between. This is the view of the cynical mind and what happens when you hole yourself up and let that cynicism take you over.

    Jade-Colored Glasses

    I'm too old now,
    For my rose-colored glasses
    To fit.
    All that happened,
    Bent them quite a bit.

    So I take them off,
    And get a new pair,
    Not that anyone notices,
    Not that anyone cares.
    Now to face the world.

    These jade-colored glasses,
    Fit my head fine.
    But with all that's happened,
    I wish I was blind.
    But I can't take them off.

    I wish I'd resisted,
    Now my whole world is twisted,
    Like some Tim Burton film.
    What the Hell did I let happen?
    But I can't take them off.

    I guess they work,
    I do need to see,
    But this vision I use,
    Isn't one to suit me.
    But I can't take them off.

    They help a little.
    Hide my eyes perfectly,
    So you can't see the pain.
    I see you want to reach out,
    But I can't take them off...
