Tell me who is blind?
You who rock with pain,
When lightning rips your sky,
Or me because i can not,
Feel such despair,
Without thinking of tomorrow,
And all we still have?
You cry and i am angry,
For the guilt i feel,
In the dryness of my eyes.
A strange rock lies inside me.
It melts for a pinprick,
And turns to steel,
When you whose life is mine,
Cry out in pain!

I can see that i should have  given some kind of introduction to my poem.
I wrote this when my family and i were going through a terrible time.My sister was the one who had been affected and we were all trying to help her deal with her pain.
Since i was closest to her most of the burden fell on me.I could not bear to see her in pain and i felt guilty at times because i felt i was not supportive enough......Cerenity,perhaps you'll read this poem in a differant light after this explanation?
