I'm still blind
I look around to see what I can't find
My mind wonders
What the future may hold
But the world's dark ways are wicked and cold
Though I'm young
I have a long way to go
My blindness makes me young
As my experiences makes me old
I get lost when I'm blind
With these words I can find
My poetry helps me
Realize
Why I'm blind
One day I'll see
That my blindness has strengthened me

Young and Blind

Topic: Lifepoems

Though I'm young
I'm still blind
I look around to see what I can't find
My mind wonders
What the future may hold
But the world's dark ways are wicked and cold
Though I'm young
I have a long way to go
My blindness makes me young
As my experiences makes me old
I get lost when I'm blind
With these words I can find
My poetry helps me
Realize
Why I'm blind
One day I'll see
That my blindness has strengthened me

Yes, poetry will help with almost everything. Poetry has helped me alot in my life, and I'm glad that I still write. It makes things more clear as you write them down, then once you see what you have come up with, you realize whats going on with current situations.

Very promising first post. A good strong metaphor, describing (I think) optimistic naivety as a gift, not a curse. And poetry and the breadcrumbs back to the light - superb. A real talent here, alright.

The short lines cleverly replicated the speech patterns of childhood. The rhyming too.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
