Voluntary Blind

Voluntary blind I can tell you why, if you want to know I can show you how, if you are willing to try I can teach you easily, If you decide to become responsible It is not easy, but anyone can try I see them, but feel nothing Touching them, but have no call Watching them moving, but I am like sleeping If you ask me why, my kids’ future is in my mind They are prettier than mine, but don't have my attention Better educated and have to offer, they force me to act But my heart is far away and my feeling is jailing I am a voluntary blind to save my marriage I want to save it for my kids’ future I am engaging with God to be there for them As he was killed to save my soul I am voluntary handcuffed To not using my hands because they can put me in trouble I keep my eyes, voice, hand, knowledge, and body freezing To save my promise to the one that I love I am a voluntary blind to manly live not use
