I'm blind.
So many years I have stood in the shadows,
Looking out into the light.
The bright and happy faces,
The carefree laughter,
I envy them all.

So many years I have stood alone,
Hidden by the people themselves.
I loved the vibe that they gave off,
The simple joy in life.
But the people I loved showed me theirs,
Blinding me in a careless flick of the wrist.

I'm blind.
This simple fact is hard to take.
My sight gone.
Gone with no one with a care.
For all I have done for them,
This is all I have to show.
I'm blind.

In the total darkness I now stand,
No longer able to see the light.
What is the point of me being here?
Nobody cares.
In the dark I dream.
I dream of the light that used to pulse around me.
The light that used to lighten my dark.
But now,
Now I have no light,
No light in my darkness.

I'm blind and I dream.
The dark claws at me,
The unforgiving abyss laughing at my fall,
The fall that never ends.
I'm spiraling down but I can't seem to stop.
There's no light to guide my way,
No light to warm me.

Light.
Shadows.
Dark.
Dreams.
Death.
