The Girl With No Eyes

A poem about a girl who loses her sight in a car accident.

The Girl With No Eyes

 

She was staring out the glass,

Taking in the view,

But little did she know,

Her life would change,

As a flash of white,

Sent her into a spiral.

 

She woke up with bandages,

Wrapped over her eyes,

And her family sobbing by her bed.

 

She asked what was wrong,

And they only cried more.

 

Then she heard the truth.

 

There were no bandages.

 

She did not cry,

She did not wail,

She did not scream,

But she asked a question.

 

She did not ask of herself,

Or of her family,

But of the man, the stranger,

And if he was okay.

 

She heard a chuckle,

And knew the answer.

 

She went to school,

And though she could not see,

She knew.

 

They were watching.

 

She went home,

And laughed,

For she learned that her best friend,

Was not a friend at all.

 

They said she should be dead,

Or might as well be,

But she doesn't listen,

Because although she can't see while she's awake,

She dreams in color,

And rainbows shine in her heart.

Once again. Very good poem from a very good writer...you always write poems that have sense and a message encoded in it. Inspiring poem. Tough time really helps in knowing who are our real friends and who are the fake ones. We should never stop living because of others..keep on living. The fighting spirit of this girl is really praiseworthy.
I really loved this poem. Very well written.
