Corrupted Mindset

Folder: 
Personal- Hopeful

I wear a sleeping mask

Over these deprived eyes,

A blindfold that keeps

Light from entering

My endlessly dark existence.



I’ve grown accustomed

To this disturbing mentality

That blurs the edges

Of my peripheral perceptions,

Destroying my conscience.



The notion of status quo

Was made up by academia

That warns us to keep

Our eyes closed while

Everything changes day by day.



I screamed from behind

Sealed-shut eyelids:  

Wake me from the inside out.
