I met you when I was a teen,
I didn’t like you then.
I didn’t want to go out with you,
I felt like people kept on watching me because of you.
Then I realized your value, I grew up with you.
Now I witness the world around me,
I glance at people's faces,
I capture the colors surrounding me.
You are the first I reach as I wake up,
The last touch when I lie in bed.
I can’t live without you,
my dear glasses.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

Love this. Have been a glasses wearer since 8th grade.
This was captivating, so amazing! And about glasses, you got me 😂 I thought it was a love poem
I love this!! As a fellow glasses wearer, this was such a great ode to something we need so much! I love that you kept us guessing right until the end! Great work Ema!
Love this. You are exactly right. It's the first and last thing I do every day.
