Life is a story. Make yours a best seller.


Some people are blind yet they do not know.

The have these eyes of green, blue, brown, or gold:

Yet they still cannot see.

Their eyes glaze over even when knowledge sweeps by

They cannot see the incredible wonders of words under their nose

They cannot see.

Their eyes stare unfocused at the bright greens of the world

Yet they widen at a tiny screen

It is as if they expect to find the universe in a 10inch screen

I am one of these blind people

But I do not want to be

I do not want to be blind to the universe

I want my eyes to catch the glint of the sun

I want my eyes to crinkle at the smile of my family

I want my eyes to absorb in every tiny detail of this world

Because who knows how much longer until my eyes cannot comeback from the blind

I am blind yet now I know

And I will change.
