You're alone,
In the dark, with no way out,
You can't see the things right beside you.
You have no hope of escaping
This terrible, depressing darkness
That surrounds you.
Light or dark, day or night,
It really makes no difference.
Not when your eyes can't see.
You want to view the world;
Well, you've no chance of that. The most
You can hope for, is having someone describe the sights.
But it's not the same, it never will be.
You live in a world of black,
With only your friends, family, and a cane
To guide you.
How can you escape?
You can't.
