I never knew that I was blind until I looked into my eyes,
within I saw the truth a woman I never knew.
Humble and sweet she was a person I would forever wish to meet.

Looking at her I felt ashamed and in disgrace with beauty and grace.
Cursed was I in rich means for dressed in gold never made a queen.

I kept looking into her face, searching for a sign,
something to say I was alright.
Instead I saw silent despair, resigned in her fate she sat in majestic grace.
You would think she was a queen not a prisoner held by…
me?

I couldn’t help but cry for I realized this woman was I,
held prisoner by my fearful side.
I always thought I knew myself but now I see I was deceived by me.
I want to be the me in me but I know it’ll never be.
I couldn’t bear to see her shamed brought down from glory into my disgrace…

Great poem. I like the way you kept it hidden until the end about who you were writing about...I enjoyed reading it.
Hope to read some more of your poems soon.

Wow...I thought this was dead.

Thanks for finding it for me bekah! Now I can tear it apart and mess with it some, I'm not quite happy with some of the words I used and various other things. Glad your friends like it, I'm not sure I've ever had any of my poems described as "deep" before I came to pip,it was quite a different out look.

Jumbled? I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by that? Is it that the stanzas have no apparent order, rhyme or reason? Please elaborate, I'd really like to know!  

I haven't forgotten your poem either rhia, I've hit a busy spell and I'll try to return to it asap.

THe words seem to fit but all thrown together. Some seem to work but the order is confusing. I think it could use more structure
