No Sight = No Light Poem by LaTisha Parkinson

One day I looked at the sun
Because I thought it’d be lots of fun
But sadly I did not know,
That this would cause my sight to go
Next morning when I woke up
I tried to open my eyes but they came to an abrupt stop
I was scared and didn’t know what to do
So I went back to bed and said I had the flu
My eyes wouldn’t open for anything
So I lay there and tried to think of something
Eventually I told my mother
Who sadly told my father
They were angry and scared for me
Because I could no longer see
The thing I miss the most about my sight
Was that I could no longer see any light
I had to live my life in darkness
Which was truly the scariest
