Sightless eyes see completely
yet nothing at all
Different tests for different problems
yet still the same
Baffled doctors
take my blood
as I sit and scream inside
All the while I’m falling down
giving out, toppling over
Friends ignore me
pay attention no longer

Deaf ears hear flattened air
but not exactly
Some more pills to pop
but no effect
Confused, scared
frantic little child
crying when no one can see
no one can know
Disorientated mind
spinning horizontally
What’s going on?
