So I Am Blind Poem by Mahfooz Ali

When I see a bird, I see freedom,

when I see a painting, I see expression,

when I see a book, I see vacation,

when I see technology, I see modern

when I see school, I see opportunity,

when I see an instrument, I see rehabilitation,

when I see a movement, I see vows and promises,

when I see the moon, I see distance,

when I look at the night sky, I see abyss,

when I look at my writing, I see hope,

when I see myself, I see confusion,

and so I am blind...
