APM: Darkness

The prompt to write this poem is "Without warning, you lose your eyesight. You don't feel any physical pain. The world around you goes dark, but all your other senses become sharp. Write a poem about how you react in the immediate aftermath."

The darkness has setting and it feels like a doomsday

The memories of every color is fading away

Doubts & losses are creeping its way

My fear is something that I can't say

So sudden, that I don't know what to do

In front, of me my whole life flew

All the doctors I went to, no hope is all they said

All my prayers are for my eyes so are every tear that shed

Every body part, that I took for granted

They came for my rescue when they were most wanted

My sense of smell and hearing rose

While, my finger tips now know, what it chose

I feel blessed to have such amazing family & friends

They stayed with me when I felt my life has come to an end

Today, I want to thank everyone and everything around

For holding me up, when I was down
