Black but not Blind

Wishing good night, I settled to rest

Only with thoughts of my to do list to be met

To my morning, usually bright and beautiful, 

I opened my eyes but this time dark and dull

I called up everyone to switch on light

While my mother scolded me for putting up a fight

Minutes passed by and I knew..

Last night was the last light I saw


Shattered and Scattered, I felt in and around rapids of tears

I found no words to share.. 

Scarier to bear than the darkness 

was the fear of hopes.. unkept


My teacher told me to rest but not retire

Days crawled, so did the nights..

Black became my colour, my rainbow

For you cannot be scared of, things you can never see

Shaping my thoughts and hopes through my voice, 

today I stand here passing on to others.. a light.. 

not from my eyes but from my mind
