Blinded Eyes

Lisa Ann Noe



I reach my hands up to the skies,

For I see the world through blinded eyes

I imagine the world is staring at nothing but me.

But that’s only because I can not see it.



I see the world through blinded eyes.

I’m living in a world of deceitful lies,

But that’s only because I can not see it.

I’m searching for something that will never be.



I’m living a life that’s real,

In a place where time stands still.

I’m searching for something that will never be.

I reach my hands up to the skies.



Note: this poem is inspired by a girl in my 8th grade English class, years ago.
