Black but not Blind

Wishing everyone in my usual style 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 too dark and dull

I called up everyone to please switch on light

My mother scolded me for putting up such an early morning fight

Minutes passed by.. Nothing Changed But I realised..

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.. Actually I didnt know what to share..

Scarier to bear than that darkness

was the weight of hopes and dreams.. unkept; unsaid

My teacher told me to rest but never retire

My Days crawled, so did the nights..

Black became my colour, my rainbow

Someone once said you cannot be scared of, things you can never see

Slowly Steadily, Shaping my thoughts and hopes through my voice,

Today I stand here passing on to others.. a thread of light..

not from my eyes but from my mind!!

So goes the title of this poem.. Black but Not Blind!!
