Blinded

Poem Commentary

Just a thought that passed through my head as I found myself superficially smiling at people and making small talk that made me want to scream.

Blinded

Blinded by my rays of hope
I can't see past my own reflection.
This miserable smile I force myself to wear
Fading quickly.
Becoming transparent.
The dilusional optimism I carry
Weighs me down.
All the while I beg for a clear picture
Something to sink my teeth into.
My unimaginable reality soon to take place.
If my dreams would take me
I'd let myself go.
Evaporate to a higher realm
Blinded by the rays of hope.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
