Blind.

She dug herself a nice hole...

She saw everything wrong
With the way that she lived
So she lifted her chin
And decided right then
That she would turn around
She worked as hard as she could
Dug herself a nice hole
Lost herself inside
And realized too late
Everything had been fine
She realized too late
Her life didn’t need fixing
She had just been blind.

I was contemplating this idea on the bus this morning, and during theology I finally decided to write it down. What do you think?

You have a real gift with writing, I'm amazed at how accurate you are

I really like this [& sorry it took me so long to read it]
I can definitely relate to this.
I've always been blind in that sense,
though I do have many moments of clarity.
Amazing write.

Humans are like that. We all are. There are moments when we can't see the beauty in us. As a result, we deny ourselves of existence. We hide behind our mask. This piece, though short, speaks the truth about man and about life.

Not bad, not my favorite from you though. Maybe you can add onto it? I like the mood you set with it though. ^^
