Eyes Reflected
There are times when you feel so worthless
That if you dropped of the earth no one would hurt less
And no one would hurt more
If you stepped out the door, stepped out your life
No one was there to hear your cry
Or was there really one?
Like a tree in the forest if there's no one here, am I really one?
Do I really matter to the world around me
Or is it just me in the middle of my surroundings
Sometimes I let my mind sink this low
It's healthy, necessary in order to grow
But problems arise when my mind stays down
Then it turns from blue to 1960s brown
But even there is a possibility
Even there people really see
The true person you are inside
They stop just taking you along for the ride
And they look deep into those blue eyes
And they say I love you, really I
But it's cut like a knife, skin tight, air fight
You wake up from a dream,
stripping your heart from the reality that seems
What your life should be, winter to spring green
But now, life isn't even a bean
But life is a good thing
Happiness and love make hearts sing
Even at times when you forget what's right
Times when your mind checks out at night
And your actions speak a language foreign
Sometimes you don't even leave door part open
And the advantages taken are from no friends
But reality hits in the morning
That's when you start mourning
The regret Instills, the way you treat
Are you really going to put that on repeat
Now is the time, now is always the time
The time to change, find a light in those eyes
Those eyes reflected
With light you no longer feel neglected
And the world wasn't what you expected
