Impaired Vision (Nary)

I was told that in order to see where one intends to be you’d have to possess vision.

But what they failed to tell me is that this vision will only be empowered by how well you could listen.

So as I closed my eyes and opened my ears I began to see more than I ever have before.

As I travelled through this lucid journey of realisation, not only did I find out how short sighted I was but how impaired our vision can be.

Stumbling blocks of the mind alongside the reminiscence of times where you and failure became friends, birthing shame upon your name.

Or that moment of vulnerability where you finally revealed a segment of your vision to a friend who only told you to “stop daydreaming again”, I dare you to hold on.

I urge you to be strong because one day they’ll see what you see because the untold truth is that the impaired vision of a visionary cannot remain blurry forever.

You can only knock on doors so much before they’re forced to let you enter, but if they don’t, let your vision lead you to a window of opportunity.

See, shockingly, the impairment of your vision can only be as blinding as you let it, so you can choose to open one eye to the realities of the world and the other to your God-given capability to win. Or they can both remain shut as you continue to live a life without acknowledging the gifts you hold within.

Remember there is a beauty in your vision but this is tested by your patience and ability to see through the darkness of your nights.

And radiate so violently that even those without sight would know that the vision you hold cannot possibly be compared to the likes of silver nor gold.

If only you could see further than you could reach.
