Blindness

Blindness, 
is not the loss of physical sight, 
It is not the inability for your eyes to absorb 
and process colours and images

Blindness, 
is the inability to let go
even when holding on leaves scars on the very palms that grip

Blindness, 
is the inability to absorb thoughts, 
to see that it has to take white to make a sea of grey,
and that even in the right light, 
the black glitters 

Blindness, 
is the rash tongue, 
the unforgiving heart 
and the vengeful spirit

Blindness, 
is the stubborn soul
that refuses to be vulnerable, pliant, human

Blindness, 
is the inability to see that by not forgiving
and by building a cage for every hurt, pain and injustice, 
you invest so much of yourself 
until every curve, every bar, every sinewy joint of that unyielding prison,
becomes you.
