Blind
A shrill scream came from my my throat.
Two tears slid down my cheek.
My heart shattering as I knew.
I was left blind to this world unseen.
Not being aware of, I walked down a room.
Knowledge of nothing, I cornered into gloom.
Seeing the black, I could only be lost,
It wouldn't bring me back, it wouldn't tell me how.
Pain gripping me tight, depression going up high.
Imagination now all erased, memories all washed away.
Weakening out each day, strength that lost its way.
The right path now doesn't shine, the wrong path doesn't confusingly twine.
The time keeps trotting along but I am still stuck on this song.
Tumbling along this path , I feel stupid.
Hitting myself more than twice, I feel crushed.
I can't be straightened out, I am left all crumbled.
"This is how it is now" is all I've just mumbled.
Sympathies and pities make me feel sick, understanding nothing I only know I am blind.
Everything scattered , can't be brought together to bind.
I feel nothing, I sense nothing.
I see nothing, I know nothing.
I am just left alone to find, a path best for me, a person that's blind.
I don't want to put effort, I don't want to try.
I know I am lost, there is nothing to find,
But they hope for me, a person that's blind.
I hear laughter and sadden myself.
I hear crying and laugh humorless.
I hear screams and can only reply, pain is the answer which isn't denied.
Can't it be gone? Can't it escape?
The pain in my chest that is ready to break.
I can' t let it go, it makes me live,
this black and sad life on my very own limbs.
Let it just go, let it elope,
With freedom and love that will wash it with soap,
And bring out clean and shiny, not bad.
My pain that will be lost but happiness brought back.
I try what I've got, still stupid blind.
I give it my best and let it shine.
The painless me, that is happily blind

I wrote this poem a long time ago. It's about a person who's become blind and how they live through this transition.
