Eyes

Eyes
They say are the window to the soul
They can be cold, dark
Or warm, inviting
They say what you won't
They define how you feel, even if you don't know
Clear and bright,
They allow you to see the world
In the colors of the rainbow
They're the first thing you see
And the last thing you remember
They shape who you are to others
Whether you're bold or shy
Pretty or not
Loud or silent
The eyes help you see what others want to show you
What you can see is what they want you to think
How they want to be remembered
And if you pay attention,
They can help you see who you are yourself
Simply by looking in a mirror
Sometimes, the eyes can be controlled
You only allow yourself to see what you want to see
But closing yourself to the world is like walking around blind
You really can't understand what's happening
You can't see what's truly going on
You can't take things in
You can't learn
The world is a haze and you're walking in a dream
But you have to wake up
You can't lose reality
You can't lose yourself
Your eyes would be blank
Soulless
White and empty
The image that gives many nightmares
Would you really want to have that?
