Blind sighted
To that which I wish not to see
Completely deaf
To sounds I cannot hear
Gagged at the mouth
For the words I refuse speak
Hidden in my shadow
The truth unknown
Not admitted
Content in ignorance
Disillusioned and Betrayed

Amazing
I ansolutely love this poem. It's short, but still has an impact and makes you think. I think a lot of people would rather not know the truth somtimes and be happy, than find something devastating out. Really nice piece...you are so talented. Hope you're doing well!!!

Impressively written! I'm in awe with how short this was and how vivid the message spoke aloud through the stroke of your pen. Congrats on the HM!

Amazing as always
Ooooh! I like this a lot! I wish I could write short and powerful stuff like this. I'm in love with it. It's beautiful, and doesn't ramble, which I admire greatly. Absolutely wonderful. Great job, darlin! *hugs*
p.s.
good luck in the contest!
