To Your Blind Eye

To Your Blind Eye

A Poem by Ella

To Your Blind Eye

How could this pain bring me joy 
This sorrow bring me peace
What is wrong with me

Do you notice these marks?
Do you care about these scars?
or do you turn a blind eye 
to the tears in my eyes

Who knew? 
Of course I knew.
I see
I feel
I hear the things you say 
when you think i'm not awake

For why? as my friend used to say
Used to
For shes gone away 
to leave me in dismay 
at the things that have come my way

i like your use of oxymoron (pain=joy and sorrow=peace) because "feeling" is good, no matter what those feelings are... but the pain of losing a 'friend' is palpable in your final words... the scars we acquire from others and the self-inflected ones are visible, except to those who turn and walk away... this is a great write and I love the title too...well-done

There certainly appears to be a strong reference to the practice of cutting and the blind eyes that see but do not take any action to get to the root of the issue.

Nicely done ( : O )

A touching piece Ella. Short which I like in poems and free verse form. It hurts when someone says things about you that are hurtful or mean. You expressed in your words the feelings you have.

Well now you know, and don't forget it.
This one actually hurts. To me at least. It comes across as if you've been in anguish for such a long time it's become a way of life.

The last piece just goes to show.. That in the darkest of days, even your shadow leaves you.

It made me feel.
Nicely done!
