Blind

I Walk this on this Earth Each Day With my Eyes Closed 
I Wake up, Smell the Fragrance of Failure, Feel the touches of disappointment, hear the sounds of bitterness, taste the disgusting taste of spoiled dreams, but I don't see
And I don't see why I should use my eyes when all they see is destruction 
When they have No sight of future endeavors or better tomorrows
But only weep out tears filled with pain and sorrow because of the malignant cancers that deteriorate positive visions 
To the point that visions are non-existent and the only sight worth seeing is darkness
Perfect eyes only see an imperfect world filled with hate rather than love 
Watch More heartbreaks rather than fairy tales
Observe More death than birth and more view aspiring Osama Bin Ladens than aspiring Martin Luther Kings
Can you not see that these eyes are the primary source of our pain?
We see him cheat, watch her disappear, and  concentrate on their future, while trying focus on imaginary forevers
So Why Should I Desire to See?
Why Should I when my sight lets me see the downward spirals of my life so clearly and turns my fresh visions of success into molded products 
When my sight corrupts every other sense because when I see, I hear, when I hear I touch, and when I touch the poisonous whipped cream filled with the cold truth, I taste and feel myself slowly slipping away all thanks to my eyes
My eyes..... So much trouble has come from just seeing the way things take place so I place myself in darkness so that I no longer worry about seeing 
Because the things I don't see make me believe the good lies better and 
Make me believe that every day is sunny even during the most treacherous weather 
These eyes have no visions and been the underlying factor of the unbearable pain that we feel inside
Which is exactly why I believe the world would see things a lot better if we all were blind.
