A world full of light
24th August, u sat on your bed
Trying to reach out,
I raised my hands
But you searched in the other direction.
You looked here and there
Looking a little lost
A whimper falling from your lips,
A tear falling from your eyes
Yet I didn't understand why.
You blinked rapidly,
I came forward,
I said hey
And you flinched
Yet I couldn't stop
I said "Hazel?"
You said "who?"
I felt my heart break
Yet I continued,
A lot of light in your face
But all you saw was darkness.
It took me a while to understand,
That your vision was gone
Yet I kept trying to hold your gaze.
Was this what they went through?
Every single day?
Was this what they felt?
Did this always stay?
A world full of light,
Yet full of darkness.
Another oath to the blind
Let us raise our voice,
Help them walk,
Use their sticks to fight
A world full of light,
Yet full of darkness
