Blind

As a child I knew
That the stars could only get brighter
Then we could get closer
Leaving this darkness
Behind

Now that I'm older
The stars shed light upon my face
But when I found myself alone
I feel like I, I am blind

I wish the light could shine now
For it is closer, it is near
But it will not present my presence
And it makes my past and future painfully clear

To hear you now
To see you now
I can look outside myself
I must examine my breath
I look inside
Because I feel blind
Because I feel blind
