Sleepy Eyes

Creative expressions confined,
from the cultural differences in their mind,
when speaking through love to rise,
they look for arguments to find,
to counteract the creativity,
to mold their own diversity,
in a closed off world to see,
to shut down by lock and key,
while the gates were to be opened,
and hearts to be freely spoken,
walking as if living,
to the impression that it's giving,
but inside trapped to see,
to the heart of conformity,
the outside cannot find,
what the inside tends to hide,
unless open to define,
unless unlocked to open eyes,
to push aside difference,
and see with the eyes of assistance,
the cause of death....pride,
unrecognizable because it hides,
while inside hearts cry, 
the songs of sleepy eyes,
and leave from judgement seen,
to be in love where beauty can see.
