I see everyday the same, plain sight
Noticing nothing beyond the normal, the same dim light
They see something different in me, I don’t know how
I wish and I dream of that hope right now

I can’t believe their kind words, I try
My heart feels the meaning, but my eyes see the lie
I put on glasses and lens, to increase my aspiration
They fail; I fail, believing this mutation

In some peaceful dream, the air and grass are clean
Pollution never occurs, can never reduce the land’s esteem
I long for this utopia, this reverie in my head
Instead, I raze this dream land; live the life that I had led

One day, hopefully many, if it may be
I can ignore the voice, the void, and finally be free
I will emerge from the darkness, the shadows of blight
To regain my vision, and quench the longing for this sight
This really sums up how I feel right now; I wish I were a better poet and made a better poem, but I wasn't aiming for an amazing poem, just to express my feelings.
