Once someone loved me for my quirks
I wasn't simply an oddity
An unusual occurrence
I was a blessing
They weren't a blessing
They were a dream
With both eyes closed
Clumsy, young, fearless,
Viewing the whole world
from one one perspective
I was secure and safe and indestructible
No one dreams of reality
One day the world shook
I was forced to open my eyes
To see the world for what it was
