Poetry of a Blind Girl

No, you don't

No,you don't

Have you walked in her shoes?

Do you know what it's like to be him?

Have you raised two kids when money is tight?

Do you know what it's like to have your arms pinned behind your back?

Have you fought through brokeh mones?

Do you know what it's like to have no hope?

Have you felt like you've lost everything?

Do you know what it's like to see nothing when surrounded by everything?

Have you gasped for air when all there is is water?

Do you know what it's like to hear the whistle that doesn't exist?

Have you wondered what it's like to be that person?

Do you feel the heat from three rooms away?

You may have wondered

You may have questioned

You may have speculated

But do you know the facts?

No, you don't
