Eyes Only
I see what I see
But I never complain
I see tears, hunger, torture and brutality
But I feel no pain.
I see what I see
But I never rejoice
I see smiles, celebrations, fun and joy
But I have little choice.
I see what I see
But I never tell
I see love, betrayal, treachery and sacrifice
But nothing can turn me pale.
I am a mute spectator
A witness of every event in life
I carry an album that I cannot share
My images are like blunt knife.
And yet I see what I see
I seek no glory, crave no fame
Because after all,
A pair of eyes is all that I am.
