Flashlight
Surrounded by what can only be described as the void
Nothing but the thin beam of my flashlight to provide assistance; comfort
But even this is restricting in its own way
Perhaps I would benefit from its absence
Forced to rely on a sense other than sight
To follow gut and heart
However, the all encompassing nothingness prevents me from letting go of my safety net
From being truly blind
Putting my faith in the void
Perhaps I will never be ready
But maybe
You’re the one to change me
Nothing but the thin beam of my flashlight to provide assistance; comfort
But even this is restricting in its own way
Perhaps I would benefit from its absence
Forced to rely on a sense other than sight
To follow gut and heart
However, the all encompassing nothingness prevents me from letting go of my safety net
From being truly blind
Putting my faith in the void
Perhaps I will never be ready
But maybe
You’re the one to change me
