Blinded

My ignorance once felt like

Shelter.

What I didn’t know 

Couldn’t effect me.

I couldn’t feel

What I ignore.

The veil is now

Much heavier than

When I first put it on.

The weight on not knowing

Now feels like a burden of

Lost conviction,

Lost connection,

A missing central piece that Unites the gap between myself and the world that surrounds me. 

Something that once felt comforting

Now feels like an act

Of disservice to the greater awakening

Of who I am and who I have the potential to be. 

With this new awareness I must now step out from the void I had locked myself in. I must step into that which I don’t know yet. I must step into an awareness that will shake me emotionally and in ways I won’t yet know. But to stay still would be of more harm then to into unknown pain.
