would music make sense
and words taste less bitter
when we place them on our lips
and spit them to the ground
because we want others to trip over them

would we all take smaller steps
and trace the edges of our limits
before we jumped into uncertainty
like we always do
because time doesn't pass fast enough
for anyone

would we never be afraid
of darkness
if we would live in it entirely
and help each other
touch each other
find each other
behind our blindfolds
because we are lonelier when
we only see our insides

would we reach for a smiling mouth
just to feel it
would we listen for teardrops
just to crawl our way to catch them
because we want others to
save us from oblivion

if the world was blind
would you be cared for
loved
admired
?

if the world was blind
*who would you impress?
