Hello, friend
Hello friend
It’s a pleasure to meet you
Come have a seat and a drink. I’ll treat you
Let’s chat about times that more sunny and bright
All along you wouldn’t know I don’t know what you look like.
Your likes, interests and music taste
I know it all, but not your face.
My vision fades, it’s all a blur. It’s easy to miss
You couldn’t know, to see it I’d have to be close enough to kiss
Thats not super ideal in most social situations
So I stare at blank faces and make my salutations
I’ll learn your voice, your footsteps and vaguely how your shaped
But if someone is built similar I can make mistakes
Perhaps it is quite frightening
And perhaps it makes me sad
But I can’t always be negative. That would drive me mad.
I make light and humor
To put others at ease
Sometimes it Makes theme feel bad for my malady.
I don’t want that. I am not a thing to be pitied.
Just a dude in a country where social healthcare is ty.
It’ll get better when I can get insurance
Get this all cleared up
But until then I’ll have to deal, unfortunately im stuck
But it won’t get me down. Survival is what I do best.
But it’s gonna be sad If it gets worse. And I’ll have to write even less.
