Vision and Ignorance

I am so afraid. 
Everything is dark.
Raindrops feel like acid. 
I am so afraid, 
Yet my mind doesn't know how to start. 
Raindrops fall into a sea so placid. 
I wish to be blind. 
So that I can listen more clearly, 
My dreams I will find, 
Blindly I am thinking sincerely. 
I Am thinking clearly. 
I am sensing that time-- 
Is becoming merely an obstacle.
I am so afraid. 
Everything is dark. 
Raindrops are falling. 
My fear is gone. 
Because I can see now. 
And I'm thinking clearly. 
Blindness is bliss. 
Ignorance is no longer a risk. 
No excuse for it. 
Thus I must use my ears.
