Without Sight

What would life truly be like Without Sight?

Would you be able to tell a tsunami's height?

To see where you need to run, hide

Or would you just be confused,running side to side?

What would life be without sight?

Would you be able to paint a picture?

To see your fixture

To bask in the glory of your achievement

Or would you draw lines, all bent?

What would life be without sight?

Would it be black, colorless, dull, ugly

Would you see them smile smugly?

Would you see their signs and banners

Clearly needing to learn manners?

What would life be without sight?

Or would it be fun?

Not having to feel hurt by the sun

Ignoring all around

It would be just like the dirt on the ground

What would life be without sight?

But I know what it's like

It's not like banners, dirt, blackness,

More like a spike Right in the eye

Falling hard, fast, from deep within the sky

What would life truly be without sight?

You think I meant to be blind

No, more like in a bind

When you don't know what to do

Or in a screw

Your done, you can't think, all you want is to quit

You can't use your wit

Throwing all the supplies away

You can't stay

Just paint

Stop with the complaints

Yes,

Life without sight would be a mess

But don't fret

I can bet

The art you do

Will do what's right for you

The inner voice spoke

Just as it woke

The new found courage is overwhelming

Brush in hand mixing

Fixing

Speaking

The canvas is no longer white, colorless, dull, ugly

No longer do they smirk smugly

No longer do they have signs and banners

Nothing more but manners

Yes the sun hurts

In bright spurts

The lines are all bent

Too much time spent

Sight

It's no longer a tsunami's height

No longer is a need to run, hide

It's perfect,  moving side to side

No confusion

But ignition

With ease comes a picture

To see the fixture

To see the achievement

It's as clear as days spent

No longer is it a fright

Life Without Sight.

Okay let's be honest here, I have no idea how to write a poem.

I just wanted to give it a try, plus I wanted to use the cover.

Well I tried
