In Their Eyes
IN THEIR EYES
I am the whirlwind, But in their eyes, I'm a passing fart
With a twitching stinking sound,
Although, I still make a noise
I am the sun, But in their eyes, I'm a flaming match
With only a flicker of light,
Although, I still shine and burn
I am a vampire, But in their eyes, I'm a whining mosquito
With only a sip of blood,
Although, I still hunt the night.
I am an Eagle , But in their eyes, I'm a simple Canary
With sweet voice of songs, commanding notes and not birds,
Although, I still command the sky.
I am an ocean, But in their eyes, I'm a miserly drop
With clingy network of pipes,
Although, I still wet the earth
I live my life for them, None is to be lonely,
For even the clichéic Island needs water around, I am not who I am, I am who they want me to be.
