When words are a second sight then blindness can rob me of nothing.
I have written in darkness as if I have written in light.

let me cease to live for a moment

And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."
