Eyes Wide Open But Blind

It was hidden in plain sight and I dismissed all the alarms screaming inside me at excruciating levels

My inner voice was being stifled by my refusal to accept the handwriting on the wall

I spent countless hours convincing myself I hadn’t been bamboozled by the three dollar bill parading as c-note

I was committed to moving full speed ahead despite seeing the screaming red lights blaring back at me

It was signaling possible eminent danger ahead yet I brushed it off

My internal GPS was begging me to adhere to the signs

Dead end ahead

This road will soon end

No outlet

Crossroads ahead

Detour at the next exit

Yet I was committed to the fantasy and had lost all sense of reality

My internal GPS screaming “this is your opportunity to choose an alternative route”

Yet I proceeded in-spite of the potential hazard to my world

I was so focused on the outside scenery and neglecting my most prized possession

ME!

  1. The words you have spoken and shared are fire and truth for all. We truly are blinded in our way of life, and that brings deception. When the fullness of reality hits, we are traumatized and blame others, when in reality it was our own fault for not truly seeing from within our spirit and hearing with our heart.

  2. It’s only when we become self aware that we’re able to see the red flags. It’s only when we truly love and honor ourselves that we can move beyond the red flags. It’s only when we share our stories that we can change the world because of our red flags. Great writing. Really made me think.
