I am going to audition for a poem in individual improv. The poem is entitled Blind.

Blind

© By Anonymous
I was so blind
Why did I not recognize

all the sadness drowning in her eyes?
I was too busy to take some time

and ask her what was on her mind
I was so blind

Now I see her cries for help,
all the cards she had dealt

She was just waiting for them to run out
Is that what life is all about?

Just waiting for it all to end,
or asking why did it ever begin?

It's not supposed to be like that
You can't just lie around like a door mat

Let people step all over you
and wish the wind would take you to wherever it blew

I didn't see that's what she did
She hid

Why couldn't I find
I was so blind

She is gone now
I just cry and ask how

I let her slip away
It gets harder everyday

Now I sit in sorrow,
Wishing there was no tomorrow

I was so blind

This actually has no real situation stuff for me. I have had a serious girlfriend before and I dont really want to say that I "Loved" her but I do know that I really cared about her and I know that if this situation would have happened to me while I was still dating her I know I would have been heart broken. Losing anybody to this situation is heartbreaking. I think about it and even if I were to lose somebody from the school that maybe in our whole school years together have maybe said a couple words to I would have felt guilty and sad.
