Wordblind (February 5, 2011)

I don't understand

Why people say

My writing is powerful

To them.

When

All I see

Is a bunch of characters

Written in my writing.

Or typed

On a computer screen.

What is wrong with me

That I am blind

To this power

Of my written verse.

Or is it

Just another example

Of the damage done

From my childhood?

Just once

I would love

To see.

What others witness

In my own writing.
