Daylight

©Jennifer Paige

It seems like years since I've seen the

Daylight--

Now it sears my retinas

Inflicting a pain so intense that I must

Run back inside to hide

Why do you torment me so?

My heart screams in anguish

Once more I must return to my dark dungeon

And fact the dampness and the mildew odor

I will see the day before I die

Smell its sweetness, see its colorful palate

Being able to see again would be the

Greatest gift of all
