Light and Dark

The light hurts my eyes,
But the sun is so intriguing,
It is telling me to keep my head up,
And not to be afraid,
Though it is blinding me.

In my dream I had no eyes,
It was dark and I felt safe,
Then the light came and I feared,
I felt trapped and helpless,
The sun is my enemy now,
My life has been wasted.

I live in darkness now,
For I see no light,
Every night darkness smothers me,
And reassures me to never look up,
You shall never see me,
For you live by the light.

Go its ok,
My sight is gone,
As will yours soon be,
You will learn just like I have,
Just wait,
But be ready.

The sun is blind,
And doesn't want to be alone,
The darkness shall save you,
The darkness can teach you,
How to survive,
I live in darkness,
It is my friend,
And is soon to be yours.
