Blind


I close my eyes And I see the darkness. I wonder, What hides within? Why it must hide? My eyes are closed. Now, I am blind. I shut my eyes And I see the world. I hope It can change. It will change. One eye opens, However, I am blind. My eyes are closed And I try to forget This place, This time. Both eyes open, Yet, I am blind. My eyes close again And I want to believe, In what I am, In what we are. My eyes cannot open, Still, I am blind My eyes close once more And I wish I knew The questions I must ask In order to learn. But my eyes are closed, So, I am blind. My eyes open And I hope for the future. My eyes search, But, I am blind My eyes close And I stop to breathe. My eyes forever shut. I am blind.
