Gosh, this is overdue-'Just Out Of Reach'

Today, during announcements, but after standing up and saying the pledge,
A low buzz entered my hearing and dots swam before my eyes, covering the world so I couldn't see anything
But blackness.
The usual headache didn't happen, but my head felt heavy, as if it were filled with cotton.
I stayed there a little after everyone had sat down, swaying where I stood
Ever so slightly.
I could hear people talking, I knew where I was and where everything else should be,
But I couldn't see anything.
It's kind of like when it's dark outside
Really dark.
You hold up your hand to your face, and you know where it is in contrast to your face,
But you just can't see it.
Just out of reach.
So I stood there, not freaking out like I usually do, but calmly waiting.
For what, I didn't know.
My sight might not come back.
But I knew it would. And it did.
As my eyes and head cleared, I suddenly felt a little dizzy.
I sat down and shook my head, blinking a little.
I realized how close I had to come to realizing what some people experience every single day.
But some of them never even got to see at all.
So as I sat there, one thought swam around my head;
I'm lucky.
I can reach just far enough.
