Nature's blindfold

What would life be 

With only one color dear sir?

Walking around in utter darkness

With the feeling of being so unsure?

I mean imagine a rose

But only feeling the thorns.

Would you misjudge that flower

Into thinking its as painful as hearing someone who morns?

What if you heard a river!

That runs and sounds so peaceful,

Would you jump in? crash upon the rocks!

And make the urge of adventure blameful?

What if you heard the laughter,

Of a happy, little child?

Would you atempt to pick him up?

Or just sit there and smile?

What if you felt the lips 

Of your loved one, press upon yours?

Would you do anything for a glance of her,

And try to make her feel adored?

Or would you self-pitty youself,

And damn the earth!

For everyday waking up, 

To this sucluded, dark curse?

Ask yourself these questions,

And put your past behind.

For unlike me, dear sir,

You are lucky to not be blind.

Nice, this really made me reflect on a couple things. I definitely like the moral to this poem, people can learn a lot from their past but they shouldn't let it faze them :) I really enjoyed this reading though. You're better than you think.
In the second to last stanza, first line, I think you misspelled "yourself", just letting you know so you can edit it, not worth taking off any points though lol.
