I remain blind ( poem )

Staring into a vacant space
where the light has never made its way,
and shadows consume and replace
the albescence as it falls astray.
Benighted by a dismal silence,
I've lost my mind,
in this cell so cold and lifeless
my eyes grow blind.

Tearing at my eyes now lidless,
no sense of agony.
Pulling harder on these chains
that are bound to me.
Pleading to my darker nature,
suppressed inside.
Enlightened by a wistful quiet,
my eyes grow blind

Pressing my hands against my face,
longing for the moment that I
will leave behind this empty place,
that I was once trapped inside.
Descending to an abysmal silence
I've found my mind,
beyond that cell so cold and lifeless
my eyes have gone blind.

Author notes

the narrators going blind in this poem is a good thing. Its symbolizing his dying, and as hes dying he goes crazy a bit at the thought of it, but then is eased by his darker nature as he goes blind, because in his "blindness" he can no longer see the dark emptiness that surrounded him in as cell. Him being in a cell suggests his wrong doings hence his "decendance"
