Eye Sight

Am eye wrong for Befriending the blind And dedicating hours to Describing the colors of an Aurora Borealis Am eye wrong for Prolonging sleep So for when I fall into Hibernation reality Morphs in a seemingly Endless lucid dream Am eye wrong For watching the Daisies longer Than the Series Finale Am eye wrong Taking pictures of Every sunset And every sunrise Am eye wrong for drawing The moon against the night sky But never using white or black Am eye wrong for Closing my eyes When listening to music To watch the notes dance And illuminate the back of My eye lids Am eye wrong Defining beauty as You without make up Am eye wrong Loving what I saw within But crying over what a life Would be without Am eye wrong for the Visions of revenge Toward those who have Victimized me for the ways I look Am eye naive Because I don’t know What “ugly” is Am eye wrong for Keeping secret my Prophetic visions Am eye wrong Believing Real Eyes Realize Real lies? Eye am not afraid Of the dark, But Eye am afraid To blink. -Stephen Kofi Opare Obeng
