Eyes are the window to the soul;
I guess I have no soul then
My eyes failed me long ago.
Now I am trapped in my own mind
Sometimes I shut out the noise and wonder
Is this what it is like to be a thought--
Not seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling or even tasting anything?
It is a lonely thought
But now I have the opportunity to open my eyes once again!
To see the light of day!
To see my mother’s face!
The operation is done now…
I can see…
But this world before me is not what I remember…
It was once a light and happy place filled with kind-hearted people.
Now it is a war zone of the ages-
The entire world--at war with itself and not even knowing it.
A constant battle
Never ending
Why does everyone have to fight?
They don’t even realize they are!
This world is not how I remember it.
Have they all closed their eyes?
Is everyone seeing the world as I had?
Nothing more than a blank sheet of black?
It must be…
Why else would people do this?
They have closed their eyes…
And now I wish mine were closed as well.
