Thoughts of a blind woman.

I'm a mother of two. I'm legally blind. I write to escape the confines of this house and the people in it. I let the writing take me away.

A sorrow.

If it weren't for my children.

I would be so gone.

Drown in the silence.

Ending it all in the violence.

Tension in my finger.

Squeeze.

Pull back the trigger.

There is no need to linger.

Empty feeling in my heart.

I do believe I am falling apart.

Words are like darts.

Pierce me straight through my heart.

Listen

Do you hear that sound

wait

Thoughts of expression

Lost but somehow always found

stop

Abuse and neglect 

that will which you are bound

on it's axis the world is burning

listen

can you hear the yearning

wait

knowledge and wisdom

this is what you will be earning

stop

nature and protect

the things you should have been learning

As the earth slowly stops its turning

listen

cries of despair carried on the wind

wait

Mother Nature with regret

Revenge and penance she will send

stop

Mother Nature and Father Time

their world they will tend 

but not on its own will it mend

sacrifice and respect prevail in the end.

Rise about the clouds.

To fall when you are flying.

Matters not a thing

Means not that you are dying

Matters only when you sing

Rise above the clouds

Leave the storm behind

as raindrops fall to the ground.

In the end, I may have won.

One of these days you might say I may go and find another way to keep the darkness at bay. 

Allow light to stream in even though there is no chance to win.

To admit defeat is not a sin.

Tomorrow I will travel as todays thousand threads begin to unravel.

Each step I take becomes a gamble.

Words have all but come and gone.

My only hope my writing will live on.

Future generations yet to come.

In the end I may have won.
