Better Off?

I have to get out of this bottomless pit. I have to pick me up and put me back together on my own.

If I just let those ugly words go

If I never took off love's blindfold

Would I have recognized tarnished gold?

Maybe I never wanted to know

But I was caught in the crossfire

Not knowing who is the liar, and maybe

None of that really mattered to me

But her hatred and his arrogance

Neither would leave me be

Now I'm running away with my wounds

My bones are sticking out, my skin turned blue

My eyes still adjusting, so I can't tell who

Is leading me now, who I should listen to

They say the light will reveal true feelings

But even I know that light can be misleading

So come in the dark where better I can see

Who's telling the truth, and who's lying to me

But overall, let me tell you once more

I'm done with this battle, I'm canceling the war

I don't want anyone to die or be hurt

Children like us  have much to learn.

Author's Note

It's one of those poems where it kinda makes sense, yet only the writer knows where the pieces of the puzzle fit. I'm in a rhyming mood lately. this is unedited, straight from how I felt this morning...

The flow really keeps this piece together. The rhyming doesn't feel forced, it feels very natural and nonchalant. Excellent closing line as well =D
