Description I blind myself everyday when my heart starts up
and all the doors open bringing air and darkness into the room.
I cloak myself in light that sticks to my skin,
crushing me in from the outside.
I dream of darkness that tears open the walls
because perhaps I will finally see and imagine the shapes
of doors and windows and people and trees and evil and good and

These thoughts plague me.

But do not worry for me and my torment for I have release
everyday, when my heart turns off,
and every time I hope that maybe this once before I stop running,
that maybe just once the light will leave before I do,
that if I stare long and hard and focus completely
heart and wires all looking around
that maybe there will be darkness
before there is nothing.
I don't want darkness where there is nothing.

I blind myself everyday when my heart starts up,
and I die everyday when my heart slows down
but today I swear I will shine so bright I will break,
and then I will see the dark.

Believe it or not, being blind can sometimes be a gift.
