Oh the things
That people say
The words I wish
Would go away
You don't look blind
How are your eyes
What can you see
Can you see the skies
And patiently
I answer them
But very soon
I won't pretend
That it doesn't annoy
Related Articles
And doesn't offend
Because those questions
Will usually send
Me over the edge
Into wondering if
Anyone knows
What it's like to live
With little sight
And lots of pain
And yet they ask
Over and over again
How are you feeling?
You seem OK
I'm glad things are better
Not so bad today?
And what do I say?
Tell me what do I say?
To make you feel better
Coz I think that's it
You want to know
That I'm not so sick
Because that's easier
Than having to see
Really what it's like
Living life as me
And realising
I'm making the best
Of what I've got
I've still got the rest
Of my skills and talents
And beyond the aches
I can use my brain
That's no big shakes
So how are my eyes?
No better, no worse
I'm getting on
I don't feel cursed
In fact I feel blessed
To have technology
And by the way ...
I am still me!
