I am blind, yes, blind

Born as others born

Grow as others grow

Nurtured and loved by all

Cared for and well sheltered

Hoping to bring succour

Laugh once again

To a family in poverty

It happened, yes, happened

At two, eyes gone, gone

Light went off the eyes

Darkness sets in everywhere

Hope dashed and entirely gone

More pain, agony and sorrow

Overflowing and overwhelming

What such a life

Yet I hope further

Hoping to get better

Daring to be different

In spite of all challenges

Now, mother left at prime

Joy taken and never to come again

What else do I have?! Why Life?!

What such destiny? What Life?

Fate let me see my face

Even for once how beautiful I am

What colour covers the sky

How my caring brother looks like

How the helping stranger seems like

What home I live, bed I lay

But only to feel,

Only to hear and smell,

What such living?! Worth it?

Yet soon, my brother gone

Gone to stay with mum and never

Yes, never to return anyone

Oh! Life, why treat me this way!

My love walked in,

Promise heavens and earth,

Cloth me with hope

Yes, that hopes lie even ahead

Cared to undergone the pain

Pain to see once again

Promise to see him first

Where is my love?

Who stole my joy?

Love has gone and not seen

I know his voice but not him

How do I know him?

How do I find him?

Life, you dealt with me!

Yet my love is not blind

I heard his voice someday

I meet my love,

Left blind but met seeing

Joy returned, pain gone

Though I was once blind,

Love is not blind.
