Warm brown eyes


I've known you for years now, but you still continue to surprise me with your kindness and wisdom. 

Your words, actions, and charity have turned stubborn buds like me into beautiful blossoms. 

 

I used to only look after myself, I thought I suffered more than everybody and therefore I deserved it all. 

However, when my cold green eyes made contact with your warm brown eyes I knew I was in for a wake up call.

 

Thank you, for teaching me there are more people like me suffering out in the world. 

Thank you, for helping me realize that helping others like me is my perfect dream-world.
