I am blind
I cannot see
You are blocking my vision.

I can’t find you
In the darkness
You seem far away.

I am fragile
I am broken
And I cannot find my way

Everything is etched in darkness
Every body
Every soul

I am blind
I cannot see
You are blocking my vision

The glass shatters into pieces
I cannot see
To pick them up

I walk blindly
Into windows
I fear falling to the ground

I feel cold
My body shivers
Everything is frozen

I am blind
I cannot see
You are blocking my vision

Until you give me my
Glasses
And everything is light
