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

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
Someone very close to me
