The Blanket

so, when darkness comes
all you do is cover yourself,
you run away cause fear becomes a cold
loneliness becomes light,
for once you have never laid naked to it
embrace it like a soldier
embrace it like how those men up there embrace lies
deception and corruption
once they see the truth they jump into their beds
as if it is an SUV and cover themselves up
in the blanket of blames and finger pointing.
so, I am begging you
accept today strangling your thighs
shortening your vision
so all you see is sorrow,
do not bury yourself in a bed of self-deceit
and think you’re in the blanket
of ignorance.
wake up…
