Contact Lens

Poised on the end of your finger tip, you open your eyelid wide,
it pops straight onto your iris and you barely even tried.
When it comes to removing it, it’s an entirely different ball game,
you gently try to slide it out and almost end up maimed. 
Why is it something that is so thin, can feel like a brick,
and why can’t you find it when on your eyeball it did stick?
