Brown Eyes
Anonymous J Apr 2015
No one ever notices my eyes.
They aren't green like the tides,
or a blue reflection of the sky.

They are dark hills of chocolate,
surrounded by tan skin.
My dark hair surrounds me
traps me,
I am locked in.

My soul is bright
full of laughter and spirit.
I scream so loud,
but no one can hear it.

I hide behind my brown eyes
The perfect cover, the best disguise.

Listening
Anonymous J Mar 2015
Pretty girls tell petty lies
just to keep others on the outside.

They don't know who's listening,
they're too cool to care.
No one would confront them,
no one would dare.

Spring Ahead
Anonymous J Mar 2015
The lights are still blinking
Why haven't they changed?

The world has sprung forward,
But the lights remain the same.

Weeks go by
The sun rises faster

But the lights remain blinking,
yellow, yellow, yellow.

He was all the right things.
At exactly the wrong time.
There was nothing I could say,
No way to make him mine.
So I let him go.

Chasing Dreams
Anonymous J Oct 2015
How can I just let it all go?
How can I,
When I know
It's not because
you don't love me;
It's not because
you don't want me,
but because you're chasing dreams.

I say I'm done,
and a part of me wants to be;
Because who lets another person
mess with their emotions this much?

But how can I be done?
Knowing that you're just chasing dreams...

— The End —
