My Eyes
My eyes they tell the truth, the story of my life
Of both relentless selfishness and utter sacrifice
My eyes they tell the story of both love and hate
Of peaceful perfect bliss and wrenching heart ache
My eyes they tell the story of a tender youth
The bags that carry the weight of hurtful hidden truths
My eyes they tell the story of both guilt and innocence
Dimed by depression and livened by enlightenment
My eyes they tell the story of both honesty and lies
A roadmap leading to genuineness can be found within the lines
My eyes they tell the story of the real me
Revealing the true beauty of my authenticity
My eyes they tell the story of both pain and happiness
A tale of agony and a fairy tale of bliss
My eyes they tell the story of my longing to be free
They are the windows to my soul and they expose the inner me.
