Subject: I LOOK THROUGH EYES

I LOOK THROUGH EYES
Michelle A. Bartley
06/04/2K

I look through eyes of hardened glass
And watch the others as they pass
While wondering what it is they find
That gives them seeming peace of mind
With little hope that I'll surpass
The things I left behind.

These eyes, once innocent and naïve
Have witnessed things to make one grieve
Though once so soft and full of trust
They smolder now with sheer disgust
At all the lies this world does weave
And dreams just turn to dust.

I look through eyes of darkened shade
Too many nights spent lost, afraid
Of demons lurking in the dark
Within a world that left its mark
Trapped within its harsh charade
No new path to embark.

These eyes once burned with such desire
With worldly hopes I could acquire
Some sense of love, some sense of worth
In search of heaven, here on earth
I know now that will not transpire
The depth I sought since birth.
