Today

When my heart trembles

the earth shakes.

The intensity,

overwhelming.

The blind surround me.

Sadness becomes my soul,

heart and being.

Some are lost aimlessly,

unknowing.

Others can not see past themselves,

masked.

A few,

deaf.

Thier cries surround me.

Yet how am I so vulnerable,

thier facades,

incapable.

Pride, violence, hatred and ignorance

the truth set me free

but, only to show so many?

How?

My life is one possibility.

How do I step out of this shell,

a mask I place on my face

to see the blind for who they really are.

To help.

Redeem.

Open thier eyes.

To show truth, life, unchain their sorrows, desperation, their masks.

Let them see who they really are.

To see how they can be.

To know what they ignore.
