Blind

I have eyes that can't see,
Darkness is my world.
My eyes are no use to me,
Open or closed no change.
I have eyes they can't see,
And because I am blind.
People underestimate me,
But really I am just the same. 
I have eyes that can't see,
But I have a great mind
It is no good enough for me,
That I have things I do.
I have eyes that can't see,
I can't see the beautiful,
Or the dull, just me,
My own little world behind blind eyes.
