"Eyes"


“Eyes”

Although they are on the outside

They can also reflect what’s happening on the inside.

Their specific look defines what mood someone is in.

Tears.

Whether of happiness or of joy,

They can express you better than you can express yourself sometimes.

Eyes.

With their vibrant hues of green, brown, blue, and hazel.

The trait that you share with so many people in the world

Yet define such a drastic part of who you are.

They are the first thing people notice

And always the first thing that they fall in love with.

In a world full of insecurity

Where nothing ever meets society’s high standards

No matter what you think of yourself,

Your eyes will always be beautiful.

Unblemished.

Immaculate.

Flawless.
