Blindness
Increasingly ob sure
A world not meant for me
My eyes are slowly fading
Slowly fading away
A crowd if people all around
But not a single face
I cast my eyes onto the ground
But not out of disgrace
My vision now is failing me
And escape js far away
Inside is a wailing plea
Don’t let it all go gray
Hazy at a breakneck pace
I live in constant fear
The prettiest part about my face
Wells with lifeless tears
Will I ever see again?
Will I ever read?
Can I put my words to pen
In ways others can heed?
Fear of the unknown
Has never struck my heart
But knowing is what has been shown
To give me such a start
I wish to see the the world again
So vibrant bright and true
No matter how hard I pretend
This plight has got me blue
My eyes are failing rapidly
And frankly I am scared
So I have the capacity?
Am I so prepared?
To face a world without the light
To face a world so dull
To know my lamps are a blight
Rotting inside my skull
