A shell of a voice

You are blind

Blind and ignorant

Blinded by the lights that have shined in your eyes since before you were You.

Blind and scared.

Too scared to jump. To know, believe, trust.

Too scared to trust that you will land in a safe, comfortable spot. Cushioned and peaceful.

You are blind.

Blind and ignorant.

Blinded by some foolish idea, ingrained in your head; senseless, useless; something even you cannot understand.

Too ignorant to look over the ledge

To see beauty

To hold on to faith

Too ignorant to know

Ignorant you judge and hide and  accuse

Blind, deaf, ignorant, scared, unwilling to change

And your blindness will bind your being; burn inside you, scream out for light

And your ignorance will paralyze you; bury you and choke your dreams

And you will never be free to open your eyes, trust your soul, rid yourself of ignorance and just

JUMP
