We have all felt at one point in time as if we have lost ourselves. Maybe from lost memories, broken relationships or reckless emotions. Blind sight is a collection of poems and prose which speak of the blindness in losing yourself and the sightedness of yourself again along with everything in between. From loss of hope, feeling out of control, emptiness, lost relationships and anxiety to finding happiness, letting go, apologies, control and optimism. Some of which speak of my experiences, some emotions I have felt, others, I hope to feel, and some waiting to be released. Seeing life in this world at its worst, and healing to see it at its best seperated into 5 sections: Lost, Release, Growing, Life and Open eyes. Every emotion, scar, tear and wish that felt could never be put into words, combined into this book of healing. I hope this book makes you see with your blind fold off, and feel with your heart open, so you may heal with every page.
