Losing Sight
The night is covered in blackness with a cold wind blowing,
I can’t see anything there is no light to guide me,
There’s no sound coming from anywhere to give me something to walk to,
All I hear is the sound of my breathing which also leaves me and drifts into the darkness ,
The sound of my heart beating joins my breath as I begin to panic more,
Afraid that I may never move for the fear of not knowing what lies ahead takes control,
I fall to my knees my hands on my head gripping my hair in frustration not knowing what I should do,
I let go of my hair and I cross my arms across my stomach feeling sick with the feeling of uselessness,
The darkness fades away as I see myself and see how much stronger I look,
I’m helping others I’m happy I look fearless and full of life,
How can this be me while I stand alone in the darkness as I am now,
Though I no longer hear the wind for the people talking to me over power it I feel it’s coldness,
Everything goes away and the darkness returns as well as the sound of the wind,
I fall completely to the ground curled in a ball confuse as to what is happening to me,
My body becomes tired as I struggle not knowing anything as I keep telling myself to get a grip,
After what seems like ages the wind dies as well as the sound of my breathing not knowing why,
I see a light though it’s not a normal light I see no source for this light anywhere,
My body begins to feel warmer as the coldness fades away disappearing,
I open my eyes dazed and confused not knowing what’s going on as my eyes adjust to the light,
The sun is shining as I lay in my hammock how is all that happened a dream,
I sit up and think to myself and realize no it wasn’t a dream at all,
It was my heart telling me who I am while I slept for I am human and forget,
That even I have to settle down in this crazy world from time to time and remember who I am,
And that I’m not invincible for I can get scared I can be lost, I can be useless for I don’t know everything.
