[Poem] Surreal thoughts

i stumbled once in a while
couldn’t keep up with their pace
it was darkness all around, and
i saw no eyes on their face

being blind is a virtue
as ignorance is bliss
there is nothing that you know of
there is nothing that you miss

it took a while to sink in
for me to become wise
in the land of the blind
better not to have eyes
