Eyes
I watch through ageless eyes
As the penguins fly.
I watch through aged eyes
At purple elephants with polka dots and green hippos with glee.
I watch through tired eyes
While my parents become younger than me.
I watch with merry eyes
At my friends, always happy.
I glance through blind eyes
At the skeletons dancing at three.
I watch through younger eyes
As my body grows young.
I watch from my window down below,
Seeing what others cannot.
I search through tear filled eyes
For the happiness I had once known.
I watch through broken eyes
As she walks in with more stories to tell.
I watch through half-open eyes
As she explains the cuts once again.
I watch the back of my eyelids
As the memories haunt me, taunt me, once more.
I watch him through burning eyes
As I recall that he hates me.
I watch through dead eyes
As I know, the pain can reach me no more.
I have aged and I have not
I have cried and I have smiled
But in the end, I was watching through my eyes,
Just like everybody else.
