Blind

Can't you open your blind eyes and see
This cloned world is coming down on me
I run to the boarder not looking back for i'm trying to flee
All that I do for each of you, you look over and do not see
Can't you open your blind eyes and see

Can't you close your criticizing mouth and see
This lacking bit of logic is killing me
I run to the edge of this world and attempt to flee
Nothing I do for you will never be enough for you to see
Can't you open your blind eyes and see

We go round and round till noone can see
This bright bit of darkness where we live-this dark world of insanity
A shot in the dark a scream in the night, all we do is hope
That this bullet wasn't meant for me.
All the redundancy you do not see, why can't you open your blind eyes and see
It all breaks down and goes round and round
Again and again you stand up to watch me fall down
You stand and watch me fall down
Still through this great chaos our redundant
World still spins round and round till
God stands and shall it all fall down
This world keeps turning round'

Can't you open your blind eyes and see
This cloned world is coming down on me
I run to the boarder not looking back for i'm trying to flee
All that I do for each of you, you look over and do not see
Can't you open your blind eyes and see
Can't you just open those eyes and see,
this is all you'll ever see of me.

hoppy: good job... i like the repeated lines and the two ending lines best... i did have a wee bit of trouble with the awkward meter of the lines "I run to the boarder not looking back for i'm trying to flee/ All that I do for each of you, you look over and do not see"... mabye you could break those up or shorten them a bit to make the meter flow more smoothly... all-in-all a good poem about disillusionment (something i'm well acquainted with)...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with the blue thumb

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge

Nice job!  

 *Krista Knutson*

~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack,
Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare,
Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,
Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha
