The sun shines,
The grass sways,
The trees creek,
but I see nothing.
Only the darkness my life as become.
I see no beauty or flaw.
some say I'm lucky, why?
I can't see the punch line in any joke,
or the sunset on any horizon.
Yet there is one shining light in my void of darkness.
I can't see the end in any day,
so I keep looking forwards,
each and every night

I wrote this poem while sitting around a tether ball court, and someone was telling me about their blind sister, so i thought how would I feel like, or what would I think, if I was blind.
