Without my specs I can't see straight.
Then my mind becomes in such a state.
Without them I see nothing clear.
I feel discomfort and also fear.

Without my specs all things are blurred.
I see neither distances nor written word.

i know you’re disappointed in me

Wearing a blindfold I set off I

Knocked down two old ladies killed a

German shepherd and pranged a brand-new

Porsche Cayenne but it did the...

My glasses are part of me

They are simple and not flashy

I shall wear them with pride

They are fashionable and worldwide

Many colours and styles to choose

It is always nice to hear honest views

I don’t need them on when I am in bed

They come off as not glued to my head

I always feel lost without my glasses

Missing all those admiring glances

Most kids thought I did

wanted to be

the teachers pet.

The truth is because I

couldn't see the chalk board.

I lied to my parents
