I am blind
All I have ever seen is darkness
I know nothing of the light
People say it is very pretty
But I can only dream that it is so
I fear the people around me
Would mislead me and misguide me
Or try to harm and hurt me
How do I know who is good
And who is bad
Being blind has its advantages though
I understand the pains and struggles of others
The frustration and anger too
The way the world is cruel and unforgiving
All these things I know too well
I see people for who they are inside
Because I cannot see their faces
I do not care about the masks they wear
It is what they say and do that really counts
That is how i see people
I am quick to hear the pain in ones voice
And quicker to express concern
Or when they hide a sigh from me
I know they had it rough
Do not try to lie to me for I will know
This is were my story ends
I hope to speak again
In this lonely lonely world
Poems are all I have
I hope you liked it
