Beautiful Eyes
June 3, 2015
Green around the edge
And golden in the middle
They've seen so much
Too much
Smiles and tears
Laughter and fears
They've watched the pretty little lines
Go from red to white
The mirror shatter under pressure
And the paths the scared take
When I look at them
I don't see the color
But rather the horrors reflected
How can something something so beautiful
See only the ugly
How can the voiceless
Tell such stories
Green around the edge
And golden in the middle
Such beautiful eyes

What I love the most about poetry is the fact it only takes a few lines to tell an endless story.
