blind

i lived your lies
but between the spaces
i became stronger

and i choke
because i was blinded

    It is often those little spaces that let in the light of truth ... and open our eyes. Wonderful write! Best of luck in the contest!

    Amazing

    This is powerful and so full of truth...When we finally realize that we were blinded to the truth it cause us to wonder why in the world we were so blinded in the first place...The choking is the reality of finally waking up...Truly powerful hun...
    Best of Luck to you
    Blessings

    Good

    This is very well penned with deep thoughts and a good imagination. The strength of your words and their message comes out well in this poem. The words flow with style and skill and roll their way from the page and into the reader's mind and they understand the feelings being portrayed.

    I like it. It's great. And it tells enough without going overboard. Determination runs through this short piece. Determination and regret. Well done my Sister. Wonderful writing.

    I don't understand the quote that this is based on. It is not my experience to understyand apparent bitterness in the wanting to choke, I guess. Fleetwood Mac does the song, Little Lies, and THAT I understand. I love that song.
    I think I understand you poem, here, however. I admire the 'between the spaces' the most, because it is the spirit of transcendence, methinks.

    Well written thoughts of something we all have experienced. Blind eyes and hearts go hand in hand sometime. Excellent poem written from a dear heart!
    My best to you.

    This is absolutely great. I loved the beginning of this poem. I loved the whole poem actually, but especialy the first two lines. Well done and all the best for the contest.
