Life Flashes

Life flashes me as it passes by
Blinding for a moment
The irritation subsides
My vision returns in patches
Revealing;
Light through fissures, through crevices of my mind
Falling upon the beauty
I’ve been blind, too
Wrapped up in the complexities
Not seeing the intricate patterns formed
Misinformed my malformed thoughts caught in the societal trap
Crap!
The only way the die fell in my view
Near yet far: goals lie
Just out of reach
Leaching me of hope and trust,
Faith and patience,
Thrusting me towards a rope
To swing or hang from
Escape…
From what exactly?
Transformed, now I stand
Out of clutching regrets, frets
Rescued by life’s exhibitionism
