I open my eyes but all I see is black
I've seen this all my life
It's seeing light is what I lack
Since I was a baby I've always been treated well
Just because I'm blind it's like their under a spell
Anything I do wrong they say, "She can't see just let her"
But I am treated just like I don't know any better
My boyfriend says, "It's fine I don't mind."
But I can hear it in his voice
That he's just being nice because I'm blind
I can hear disapointment inside his voice
I didn't choose this life, I didn't have a choice
It is not my fault that I can't see
This is not the kind of life I wanted for me
When I'm walking through public I hear
"Move back she can't see,"
When I walk by I think,
Don't even try and feel bad for me
They say
"Imagine her pain, what she's been through"
I think inside my head
"Oh if you only knew."
The pain I get is not from being blind
But your god damn voices put me in a bind
Because when I listen for sound all I hear is voices
How do I move around?
I listen to noises
They help me
They hurt me
But they're all I have
While you all push me
and bring me down
At least they get me up
And help me move around
Because your reaction
When you look at my eyes with no shine
You feel sorry for me
Don't. This choice wasn't mine
When I make new friends
I already hear sympathy in their voices
Don't feel sorry for me
Now my only friends are the noises
