I Can’t See My Life

My eyes are on backwards 
I just can’t see my life 
Until it passes

Then I try to grab it
With hands that never work 
That just hold onto wood

As a kid I wanted glasses
I thought they’d make me smart
Now I feel too smart and it hurts

Or I feel too hurt and it smarts
Either one works
As that sadness of my youth returns

The closing and the opening lines are the ones that make this poem for me.
Nice one Robert
