please.

i am blindfolded
hidden in the dark
helpless, invisible, i huddle
alone
chained in a dungeon from birth
the only exit is in a coffin.

i can't see the world that you say is there
all i know is this dark
this cold

help me

i want to see

no matter how blinded i'll be at first
i want to see the sun
even after all these years of dark
my eyes useless in pitch black
yet i want the door open
to see the sky

let me see the world you say is there.
i want to get out of this dark
this cold.
help me.

please.
