My Eyes
I'm a dreamer
Always have been
Always will be
I'm older than my years
But, I have the curiosity
Of a four year old
I dream with my eyes open
So, at times, I see things
That aren't there...
I always leap
Before I look
I always see with my eyes
Hear with my ears
But walk with my heart
I tend to forgive
More often than I should
I tend to hold on to things
Tightly
When the going gets rough
I know I am incapable
Of hiding what I feel
I am even more incapable
Of acting on what others think
I know that the things we don't say
Hurt us much more than the things
We do
I know that walls can be broken down
Brick by brick
That pain can lesson
Over time
And over coffee
I speak the truth
Because it is all I know
And my eyes never lie
Even though
Sometimes
I wish they would
Because it would be much easier...
