I wake up to see doctors and nurses around my bed
Rushing through the halls telling me everything's alright
I feel the breeze getting colder as they are rushing me to a room
I can taste a weird taste in my mouth from the infusions
As I got to my room it was bright white with clouds on the ceiling
I couldn't move I was in too much pain to move
My neck was stiff, my head hurt like a brick was lying on it
Yet all I remember seeing was bright lights from the room
I was scared to think the worse
At fifteen I thought I was indestructible so I thought it was no problem
Doctors and nurses tried to figure out what was wrong
I was in thought of what was most important to me at that time
I was missing my friends and school
Over two weeks went by and no one had answers
So they had the papers to dismiss me from there facility
As my mother went to sign those papers
Tears ran down my face like a waterfall
My heart felt like it dropped to my stomach
My hands were shaking in fear
My sight went dark... I was blind
Couldn't tell shapes or colors
The doctors called the neurosurgeons down
I would have never thought that tragedy would happen
Happen to someone like me a fifteen year old girl who was a freshman in high school
In such a shock my body couldn't be going down on me not now... Not ever
The nurse looked at me with her pretty brown hair and in a calming smile and sweet voice said angelically
"Please don't cry I'm going to give you this so you won't be in pain or feel no sorrow. I wish you luck and know you'll be fine so relax now"
As I was stopping my tears I remember my body calm as the ocean
Warm as I was laying in the sun
My arms just tingling as the sun kissed them softly
I was awaking out of a deep sleep
A strange breeze was hitting my face
Nurses saying hello to me
Where was I? And where am I going? Was the only questions on my mind
I move a little and I was hurting in my lower back
I was hearing a door open, like a sliding door on clean floors
It was my new room that I got transferred too
My dad was holding my hand
Rubbing it gently with his thumb
Whispering "I wish this never happened to you I will be sure to find a cure"!
My hand felt warm, as it had a bit of a chill a tear fell from my dads face onto my hand
I shrugged and budged, wiggled and opened my eyes
I could see shapes and lighting
My family all in tears of joy I could see again!
Yet one thing had gone wrong my peripheral was gone
They kept me there for a month and had two surgeries in that time
Here I am three years later
I see out of pin holes and no peripheral vision
I had to learn how to walk and read all over again
All I wanted was to drive and see my friends at fifteen
Now all I want to do is drive and be successful
Look through my eyes to see what I see
Trade you shoes so you could walk my footsteps I had to take
But don't let us blind fool you
We're all the same and see the same in the way we know
Through our mind
