Life through my lonely 👁s

Dedicated to those who wonder

Though life continues to move on
I’m somehow feeling stuck in place,
Clinging to my past life praying
all my sins will be erased.

My eyes have witnessed pain
and all the suffering that it brings,
trying hard to find God because
I’ve lost faith in human beings.

My eyes have been cursed
to see the horrific realities of life,
at times I wish I was born blind
to be protected from the terror of sight.

My tears rusts my cheeks
every time I’m alone and I think,
“Why would God have me born
in a realm of life that makes it traumatizing to blink?”

What I’ve learned about reality
is that nothing is hidden or disguised,
everything is up close and vivid like life
through my lonely eyes.

Hello, Picasso! :)
These are lovely thoughts and feeling.
"trying hard to find God because
I’ve lost faith in human beings." - this one is great irony. Thanks for sharing.

I felt so much reading these strophes because I went through this so many times. It's hard to move on as nothing happened, but life surprises us so much. I understand your feelings that were the most important part of this poem. You underlined and described the truth that sometimes we wonder if our life still has a scope in this world. Your writing is really good and I'm curious about your next one. Thank you for sharing this with us!

I greatly appreciate you enjoying my poems and I'm excited to say that there's more on the way!

Well....reality is tough. We either roll with the punches or turn up our toes. The whole world has suffered and been seen through every single set of eyes on this planet in the past 18 months.....I'd still never give in or give up my sight for anything. To suffer is to live and to live and overcome suffering makes for a triumphant human spirit. 💛

Most definitely agree and as long as there is a living God I know all will be well!

Trauma can stick. It may have taken place a long time ago, but it can come back to haunt at a later date and when you least expect it. Witnessing terrible things must make you question your faith if you have one. If you believe in God then you will know that nothing escapes him. A poignant write Picasso.

You are welcome.

Indeed, nothing is hidden or disguised. But whole universes are not recognized.

Exactly, I most certainly agree!!
