reality blinds

am i willing to let go of whats holding me in?
let them in emotionally, i've learnt to do that
it seems quite backwards,usually its the outer barrier

why the vanity?
is that ultimately what it is?
an apprehension of going through that again

oh, to be lost in the moment,
swept up in it all
to feel loved, trusted.

a fear constantly binds me
that what i have will be used against me
my body, my mind, my soul

the invisible straitjacket that holds me in
ties my hands and restricts my ability to love
the blindfold that blocks all sight
prevents me from seeing as it is

reality blinds me, its unbearable light
too much for my childish eyes to handle
