Green Eyes
December 7, 2021
Broken, bruised, and bent
Green eyes covered with glass
Trying to hold everything in trying to get through but there is a moment of darkness and the dam breaks
A waterfall opens
A smile to try to conceal the fact you are hurting
It’s what you have been taught to do
Cover your imperfections
A feeling of betrayal
Not mad but hurt
Not a check in to see how you are doing
So you question
Thought bubbles start to take over
A movie starts to play
You see the weeds that you tried avoiding but now can’t seem to get of your mind
Pulling the weeds trying to erase the memories
Glue sealing the voice
Acknowledgment non
Memories erased
Passing as if strangers in a big city
You can’t act
The movie is replaying
Stab in the back
Blood dripping down
Part of your story
A chapter in your book
You reread and reread
God has his reasons
The seed just received water
Helping to grow bigger and stronger
A learning experience
Road turns
Weeds turn into flowers
Green eyes fill with light
A smile only some can bing out
A new chapter begins
