    Put The Light Out

    There seems to be a blinding light shining off the glass.
    Right into my ability to make proper decisions.
    The incredible, and unfortunate thing is;
    The light shines so bright into my eyes,
    that I have become so blind that I don't even think of my family,
    before I go forth with what drives me.
    How unbelievably selfish I allow myself to be.
    Not to mention ignorant to let bad things keep happening.
    When I damn well know better.
    Especially considering that the light that blinds me,
    has continually hurt me.
    What will it take to put that light out?
    Or break the glass it shines so brightly off?
    This question is haunting me more and more frequently...
    I wish I could cast a spell upon me to shade the light from my eyes.
    That would clear the view for my eyes to see what I need to do to stop the temptation.
    The temptation of wanting to look through the glass that keeps blinding me.
    This would set me free to live my life being me...
    Free to find happiness inside me that will shine brighter
    than that glass could ever be...

    I like the metaphor. You should use more of it. This is very good.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
