Do not look at me
with sad eyes
reflecting a life
you choose to hate
Good intentions backed by bad juju
I see it
behind your dead end job
hidden in your lack of hobbies
There in the emptiness in your mind
is the remnants
of the dream you let atrophy
As it got weak
you got stuck in a place
you thought would be another stepping stone
Do not look at me
with eyes shooting bile
behind a smile that breeds contempt
I refuse to be touched
by your silent hope
of my failure
You cannot **** my dreams
just because
you let yours die
Do not look at me
with eyes that plead for me
to carry you along for my ride
It is mine alone
My dream
cannot feed you
I will not lay it at your feet
to sully it's purity
with the soles of the shoes
you use to walk
through your own crap
Do not look at me
with the hope that my dreams
With give their life for yours
"Smile and the world smiles with you"
only works
when hope springs eternal
There is no hope
in that job that grows
while watching your soul die
So I do not smile
as I walk down the street
I look straight ahead
holding fast
to all that makes me whole
And if I do look at you...
I look at you
with kindness
and I am happy for your success
I look at you
with understanding
for we are all going through
the consequences of our choices
I look at you
with hope that you see me
and remember you once had a dream
I look at you
and wish you love and peace
and maybe
Reflected in my eyes
You can see
the best of who you are
