Blindful

they walked in
from here
from there
from everywhere

name a place
i got a list
long and wild
without mistakes

they changed my stride
i slowed down
i couldn’t run
to hide away

they walked in
with fears
with hopes
with dreams

name a word
i got a list
long and wild
without mistakes

we shared our lists
and dismissed
our whys were blind
they had no eyes

we shed our skins
and removed our blinds

as time went by
i saw myself behind blue eyes
with fears transformed
with hopes renewed
i met a dream to love myself
