Blind
What are colors
I cannot say
What is light
Don't ask me
What's a shadow
What's a day
Don't ask me
Cause I can't see
What distinguishes
Night from light
What's the difference
Between the two
People say
One's dark, one's bright
I guess I'll have
To trust you
I hear "shadow"
And I think empty
I hear "sun"
And I think warm
I hear bird
And I think flight
I hear "color"
I think form
What is sight
I've never seen it
Never seen much
Of anything
What are you
If I can't see you
Does that mean
That you're a dream?
I think it strange
That you would see
I can't imagine
How it would feel
How to remember
All the things you tell me
How to know
What's fake or real?
My fingers see
They feel for me
They see the world
The way you can't
My fingers see
More than you
They help me look
When my eyes won't
Thoughts and feelings
Sounds and smells
Words give life
To the unknown
I don't know
What I can't see
I'll never know
What's never shown
I'm not sad
Its not a problem
I'll never miss
What I never had
I'm not sorry
There's no point
Why mourn what
You've never had?
I love the world
I love my life
The only thing
That is missing
Is for you
To see, too
How I see
What you're missing
I'm not blind
I'm just me
My eyes are what
They're supposed to be
You are the one
Who is blind
Unable to know
What makes me me
You take for granted
What I'll never have
The things you see
Are given to you
A gift I never
Have received
And never will
I don't need to
The things you say
Help me to "see"
I'll never understand
I don't want to
I don't need
What you pity me for
In fact, in truth
I pity you
Stop feeling sorry
There is nothing
To be mournful
About around me
Its not your fault
But its alright
I am happy
That I can't see
I feel the wind
And I think "free"
I take you hand
And I think "kind"
I am content
You should be, too
Because, in truth
I am not blind
What is loss?
Something taken away
You can't take away
What was never there
What is love?
Something made to fill
My heart is full
Crystal clear
What is life?
A fragile gift
A passing trip
As is sight
