Behind These Brown Eyes MAG
On the outside
it may seem
I can handle everything
that comes my way.
But behind
these brown eyes
are bronze file cabinets,
cast into concrete walls
woven with chicken wire.
My mind has locked them,
with a skeleton key, which
fear conceals like
silence hides an opinion;
no one knows
I've put chains on my emotions. I've
locked them behind bars
like an axe murderer
waiting for the electric chair.
A dictatorship rules
behind these brown eyes.

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
