...

i am normal.
perfect in ways
you might never be.


though, i live struggling
to become paralyzed,
demented,
alone, yet free.


had i known better,
my eyes i would've weeded,
dauntlessly;
my ears i would've cleaved,
but too late now, you see.


i have witnessed
the world at its greatest worst;
wonder how it is
hear naught but silence,
and only darkness to perceive.

If it wasn't for my gift of sight and sound, I might have missed you that day we met. And now that I have seen you, the world is a better place with you in my life.

I love you
