Blinded (OMNI- Preview)

I'm about to release my latest poetry book OMNI- (Totality)
I’ve been talking about this book for almost a year now. I am here to say OMNI- is almost here! And to begin the road to OMNI- here’s a new poem! This one is titled “Blinded”

This poem is about some events that happened earlier this year. I upset some people and it ended quite a few friendships. Since these events, there has been a small number from those I upset that have continued to say negative things about me and one person has even went as far as to text people not to support me as a writer. Even though the short-tempered individual in me wants to retaliate, I wrote this poem instead.

This poem is me telling those that continue to come after me that while I may have been the one in the wrong in the beginning, their continued crusade towards me is causing a shift and while I may have started out as the villain in this, they are now the villain because they’ve put too much hatred towards me instead of using their time to do something of real value.

I am the villain, a confession I’ve already made
Your continued attacks to me, trying to dig my grave
I don’t think you can see your vision is getting blurry
Because it’s me the people are now showing mercy
Hatred of me is what you see, only thing in your view
What you don’t are the people slowly turning on you

You’ve become blinded by your hatred
All of your moves, they’ve become so basic
Life of potential, it’s becoming wasted
You’ve become the villain, I hope that you can face it

Hatred is the sole emotion you choose to be guiding
Giving you tunnel vision, hatred can be blinding
Turning your back on everything that you once loved
My downfall you want and now you’ve succumbed
I know for me, you were only wanting the worst
Only this time, you see the roles have reversed

You’ve become blinded by your hatred
All of your moves, they’ve become so basic
Life of potential, it’s becoming wasted
You’ve become the villain, I hope that you can face it

I hope you see that the tables have turned
I hope you can change from this, I hope you’ll learn
There is good in you, I know because I can see
Even if it means you have hatred towards me

You’ve become blinded by your hatred
All of your moves, they’ve become so basic
Life of potential, it’s becoming wasted
You’ve become the villain, I hope that you can face it
