I Am Not Blind

I am not blind
But my eyes are in pain
Their killing me, slowly but surely
With every second that comes to pass
PAIN!
For the days I've  witness,
Starving faces and Helpless souls
PAIN!
For the times I've seen
Broken faith and Drained will
PAIN!
For the mother-less childs and Childless mothers
You see,
My eyes weren't made to witness pain
Nor were they ready for it
But I'd rather see the worlds pain
Than be blinded by my problems
