BLIND

Today I saw a blind person at the mall ... and, when I came home this poem came in my mind

I am lost in the darkness  

Searching for a light 

Trying to find a way to end this night 

All my smiles have been lost in the dark 

The wounds of mistakes always leave their mark 

Darkness has captured my heart and soul 

I am walking alone and I know that I am scared

Oh God give me pain which can be bared 

Sometimes I trip, sometimes I fall 

But no one seems to hear when I call 

I wash my face,rub my eyes 

But I can't see a thing as hard as I try 

But then the voice of people passing by 

Help me  remind 

"watch out that guy is blind"

If Robert Bloch or Alfred Hitchcock had been poets , they would have surely written something like this! Always that eye opening and gut wrenching "TWIST" at the end that makes their works so intriguing.
You pulled that off with this one for me. And, if you'll pardon the pun, I didn't even SEE it coming!

It's a sad poem, and I didn't think it was about a blind person at all. It sounded to me like a lost person who doesn't know what to do. (lost in their own mind that is, not in a place)

A nice poem, but sad as well, I knew a man named Ray who was my next door neighbor and he was blind. He was an excellent musician and singer. He gave me piano lessons when I was younger. He was really cool, he would walk all over the neighborhood like it was nothing. I remember one time, he actually asked how you pick up a cat, because I had a cat at the time and was talking about her.
