Poems from Within John Geter

BlindnessIf you are thrown a curve ballThat doesn't mean that you are out of the gameMy curve ball was when I became blindBecause it was just thrown my wayBut I continued to stay in the game and playI didn't do it their wayOnly when I became blindDid I get the true meaning of what it is to cheatI'm blind, and most people do not like to be beatBeing blind taught me to always be alertWhether it is talking about or stolen from youSome people don't care who they hurtThere have been nights that I felt lower than dirtIt does not seem to matter to me what gets thrown my wayI always knock it out of the parkI wish everybody could feel what it's like to be in the dark
