The Vision
I see with the eyes that were given to me, I see without seeing. I feel with the emotions that were given to me I feel without feeling.
I was given a life, To do with as I chose. I chose to use that life, Yet I live without living.
I am a prisoner in my own existence, Trapped by the barriers set for me by those before, A struggle for justice, I must be persistent, To break through the closed minds of those who think they were at war.
There in the distance, A glimmer of hope. It is my entrance, The light I’ve been trying to grope.
Now it is clear, I see for the first time with my own eye. I see it all, there is nothing to fear It only took a lifetime to try.
I feel the warmth of what is there, It is not cold, like I thought it would be. It is so inspiring that I can almost not bear, I know what it is like now to be me.
Like the book which is my life, In the chapter of my mind, I live now with new insight. There is nowhere to hide.
I see now and see true, I feel now nothing subdued. I live now, the life that is mine, And I’m sure, from now on, everything will be fine.
