For the Heart Catcher (2015)

27. All the Light in the World

There is so much light that we see

From advertisements and shop signs

To computer screens and traffic lights

Sometimes I feel blinded

There's so much hurting my eyes

So much to see before I die

But it isn't all that there is

There's so much light in between

We walk through them all the time

Yet no light in the world

Invisible or visible

Can make a blind man see

So what is the purpose of so much light

Whether or not we can see them

If they do nothing but hide?

Also based on All the Light We Cannot See, although I decided I wanted to write this after we talked about light in Physics. Don't worry, I didn't drift off into Dreamland in class again and wrote this. I typed this on my phone while starving my ass off in a highly overpriced Japanese restaurant. That was how memorable my hungry experience was.
