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. ©PenGenius
