Impaired Vision

with arms wrapped around your knees

holding your body in a ball

with tears streaming down your face

looking for the strength to crawl



you're smiling for their sake

while inside you are dying

you can't carry them forever

they can't see you're crying



they've drained all the life

out from your innocent soul

drowning you in your own tears

destroying yourself as a whole



a child now fully exposed

to more than you should be

you're wise beyond your years

if only they could see
