Laughing at the Dark (A Poem)
Here's a small poem I wrote about the funny things that happen to me due to my visual impairment. Maybe someone else can relate too :) In a world that values sight, I stand out with my daily plight Mismatched shoes on my feet, But they're both tied, neat, and sweet. I may talk to mannequins and knock signs down, But it's all in good fun, without a frown My cane is my drumstick, my sunglasses my shield, In my own world, I'll never yield. I'm a blind person, but that's okay, For laughter and joy, I make way Join me in the fun, let's all break through, For in this world, being different is true. Some might pity my lack of sight, But I don't need their sympathy, not tonight I've got my quirks and my unique style, And I'm happy to go the extra mile I embrace the challenges that come my way, I learn to adapt, and I seize the day I see the world in a different light, And for that, I'm grateful, despite the blight So, I wear my mismatched shoes with
