Can not see

So dark, so very dark

but I hear a voice

and I can feel a breeze

but I don't know where I am

all I know is that I'm alone surrounded by people

 

I can hear people calling my name

Since I lost my sight nothing is the same

 

I didn't just lose my vision, I lost so much more

My independence

my job

my confidence

my self-esteem

I will never get to live my childhood dream

 

It's hard to only see one color for the rest of time

BLACK

no color, just

BLACK
