Living in the dream
She walked into the garden with daisies and roses, sunflowers and many more. She sat down and looked up into the light blue sky and a dazzling smile spread her lips. The woman picked up a nearby daisy and gently twisted the flower. She then whispered.
"Why can’t it always be like this… where I could see the world”
“But why would want to see the world child?”
The woman turned around to be faced by an old lady with a soft smile and soft friendly eyes.
“Grandmama, oh what are you doing here”
“I should ask you the same?” The old woman sat next to the young girl and smiled softly.
“I see you found my place” she smiled
“No grandma, this is the place where I could see everything in the world…. How you look like.
Just know I only recognized your voice”
“Child, don’t be giving me sass… but… what are you doing here?” The old woman asked she started at her beautiful grandchild.
She was indeed beautiful but it was such a pity that she cannot see and could only see in a dream. Many men like and loved her but discarded her once they found out she was blind.
Still, many men thought she was beautiful and God just wasted his time even creating her. Her would parents say.
“you’re a gift from God”
“We love you, my dear”
“God blessed us with your beauty”
“look at my beautiful daughter”
“Perfection”
“She could even be a goddess!!!”
But the young woman hated that people only liked her for her beauty but she herself doesn’t even know how she looks like. The last she saw herself was when she was 7. That was the time before she turned blind.
“Grandmama, why did he have to do this…”
“do what child?”
“make me go blind” The young girl was trying to hold in her tears.
“There must have been a good reason”
“will I see you again here?” The young girl asked
“Don’t worry I will be right here” Her grandmother smiled and everything faded to pitch black.
The young girl was waking up.
