Blind
Rebecca Bellig 1972 (Camp lejeuene nc)
I had to go blind to see the reality that is me
With blind eyes I see the truth about who I am supposed to be
I had to go blind to see the beauty that is me
With blind eyes I see the real me
Beautiful and Bold
Caring and Courageous
Outspoken and Outstanding
I had to go blind to see the beauty that is ME!
About this poem
I lost most of the vision in my left eye a few years ago and feel that is when I truly began to see.
