Behind Those Beautiful Eyes

Behind those beautiful eyes, So much anger,so much mistrust, Always expecting the worst, Always conversing about the bad things life has to offer, Behind those beautiful eyes, So much hurt,so much pain, Bottled up bad experiences overflowing, Crying to be unleashed,to be released, Behind those beautiful eyes, High expectation,countless plans, Many things to still achieve, So many things you still haven't done, Behind those beautiful eyes, Is a body,searching for comfort, A mind,searching for peace, And a heart searching for true love, All behind those beautiful eyes.....

To see the depths of ones soul, you have captured what many miss in this poem, As I read my beautiful eyes cried, so touching you see deeply and write deeply, excellent work
