i got glasses in 6th grade because i couldn't see the board my mom took me to the eye doctor he shook my hand and said "your vision should get better it's just you growing up" i wore my glasses every day and things stopped being such a blur until 7th grade when my vision got worse i went back to the eye doctor he shook my hand with his cold one "your vision got a little worse, that's okay, nothing to worry about" so i got different lenses and a better prescription too the board became clearer and things were even less of a blur i went back freshman year because i wanted contacts i was sure my vision changed again maybe it got worse the doctor shook my hand again giving me goosebumps "your vision hasn't changed" i thought how is that possible? something has to have changed it feels so different but nothing did during freshman year is when i loved you i loved you so much that i ignored all the harsh words and the way you'd make me feel small i loved you so much that i never saw the way you treated me even when everyone else did that's when i realized even with contacts or glasses some people still can't see clearly
