Seeing Isn'T Everything
Why, on sight, do countless throngs rely?
Why, if unseeing, do multitudes cry?
They say, "Don't judge a book by it's cover,"
But that philosophy, the truth it does cover.
Many question why I love the darkness—
Because, in here, I don't feel as useless.
Many ask why I fantasize and dream—
Because they don't judge me based on how I seem.
Many wonder why I value my pen—
Because these tales can be more understanding than men.
Many ponder on my opinions ever strange—
But I believe them, and they will never change.
I rebuke whoever said, "Seeing in believing,"
For this my heart dictates—"Seeing isn't everything."
