I open my eyes, and just see nothing did i think it would help if i took off my glasses, would it hurt less? just to not be able to see clearly? apparently,that isn't so. the fact that i could not see anything certainly didn't distract me from reality.... it had no affect on my vacant pleasures if anything, it just made it worse because the fact that i couldn't see what was happening to me did declare that it wasn't i had no escape how foolish was i to think that it would go away that simple to think that if i had no visual proof of anything that everything from that point on would be absolutely painless that my suffering would surely end? Was i really that desperate to even try it? i guess is was but it did have the tiniest slither of comfort for everything to be just....... a blur The question is: would i rather be in total agony than feel numb towards everything? if was in my right mind, i'd instantly say yes but these days, there are various times i think twice.
