going blind
i know you’re disappointed in me
we always scream for hours and fight
until i decide to go out on a walk by the big oak tree
even though i can barely see the sidewalk at night

They come off as not glued to my head
I always feel lost without my glasses
Missing all those admiring glances
I like being able...

couldn't see the chalk board.
I lied to my parents
