Hidden

In this world we have those who are free
           And those who wish to be.
In this world we have those who are blind
           And those who can see.
I am cursed with a blind eye and told who I'm supposed to be.
Secretly I wish I could see,
Secretly I wish I was able to walk free.
In this world we have predators who walk around with unpunished murders,
           And their passed on whispers.
In this world we have prey who's mothers weep as they bury their babies,
Forevermore counting their maybe's.
