My Vision

I'm on a long journey from 
Sun up until sun down
My mission is to try and 
Keep my vision around
I suffer from retinal detachment 
In both of my eyes
Was almost blind forerver
But to my surprise
Through years and months 
Of lazer surgery
My retinas are no longer detaching 
But it's still a  long journey for me
I look around at this world 
People are so cold and grimy
When all I really want
Out of life is to see
Through the pain I still strain 
But manage to find a way
To keep strong and have vision 
Each and every day
The surgery helped me see but 
My vision is very poor
So I will continue on my journey 
Until I can't see anymore
