my eyes
my eyes seem to trickle at the thought
at the thought
that everything i had worked for
suddenly wasn't as crucial
my mind
like my eyes have altered
their motives unsure and spontaneous
while my conscious say one thing
my heart says another
who am i
to say that i am good enough
that i can make it
that through the rough patches
we are all one
i cannot
because with those socially acceptable words
i'd be lying
to myself and the world
so though i am
in deep now
there is still that possibility
that I will alter another motive
and when that occurs
i will be able to announce
that through the hurt
my eyes and my mind
came out more invincible and hearty
than ever before
and with that
i'd like to conclude that
pain and anguish will never escape the lives
yet as we live on
our eyes and minds
find fuller reasons to connect
whether it is to ease or remain
it's working
now it's just hurt
