Blind

losing my sight
without a fight.
a disease 
that spreads 
within me 
damaging my eyes 
 I can’t see 
clearly 
like before 
it’s beyond 
my control 
all I do is 
stare…..
wondering 
about the glare 
following me 
everywhere 
a fear 
sets in 
as it begins 
to take control 
 I need some thing 
to hold.
with each
steps I take 
I wonder
if I will fall….
will I break 
a bone? 
hesitate
all I do
is hesitate….
things are
not the
same 
anymore…..
my eyes
are dying
behind
close doors
what does 
the future hold?
I don’t know

Hello Wanda, I am so sorry you have to deal with this disease. Does it have a name? Macular degeneration? What medical help are you able to get for it? This is a great, moving poem about it. God bless you, Jennifer
