They don’t see the blur behind my eyes
The way light splinters into noise
How silence becomes a shield I must hold …

They don’t see the blur behind my eyes
The page swimming with shifting letters
Each sentence a mountain I climb in stillness ..

They don’t see the blur behind my eyes
Only the smile I’ve rehearsed to keep
The practiced nod that hides the storm inside ..

They don’t see the blur behind my eyes
Or the small victories I win in secret
When no one is watching, but I go on …

They don’t see the blur behind my eyes
And so I ask for grace, not answers
Compassion, not conclusions drawn too fast …
