Clear blue sky.
Incoming!
Then Bam! Why?

Wounded soul.
Side of the road.
My number was up.
How’d it explode?

Blind sided, sight blinded
Crying beside it, can’t hide it…from You.
Lied to deny it, tried to fight it.
I’ve been blind sided… it’s true.

Labor of pain
To lift the pen.
Write a few lines.
Start over again.

Crumpled thoughts,
Layin in the trash.
Reams of thinking,
Smoldering ash.

Blind sided, sight blinded
Paralyzed beside it, can’t hide it…you too?
Lied to deny it, tried to fight it.
I’ve been blind sided… it’s cruel.

Didn’t see it coming.
Didn’t hear it go.
Couldn’t avoid it.
Wounded my soul.

Assumed I was protected. My cover was rejected.
Opportunity dissected. Incoming was directed to target my soul.
Unaware and undetected. Just as I suspected.
Chalk one up for the unexpected, fulfilling its’ role.

Blind sided, sight blinded
Wounded beside it, can’t hide it…can You?
Lied to deny it, tried to fight it.
I’ve been blind sided… but who?

Came out of nowhere, out of the blue!
Something tells me, it was right on cue.
Nowhere has a beginning.
If this is the case, Somebody knew!

Blind sided, sight blinded
Confused beside it, can’t hide it…from You.
Lied to deny it, tried to fight it.
I’ve been blind sided… through and through.

The blind side…it’s a bitch.
