It's slow,
reversing the curse
which stole my sight.
...But, painfully, step by step
the seal is removed...
In comes Light.
I wished so fiercely
to defy harsh expectations
that I sacrificed my mind...
I hated the image
of "nice" and "easy" so much
that I burnt it up.
...And I pleaded so often
for conscience to hush, that
I finally gave it away.
Now, as crusty cement is
removed from my lids,
I see how far I've gone...
I realize how contaminated
my thought process is...
...Can I still be of any use?
I see, now, I crossed a line
from "strong," to "unfeeling."
Teach me to love as You.
Yet, lashes flutter; I feel a twinge;
a voice long-hushed, now awake...
I'm re-learning to listen.
I see now how broken, how messed
up, I am... And I long to be cured of that
too; thrive once more.
...Only God can open eyes --
and yeah, I mean, it hurts -- But,
it's such a relief to see again.
