I Wrote A Poem For Once… (This Can't Go Well…)

So today's post is a weird one - literally a 'I was just walking along, and then suddenly a poem just plopped out of my brain and through my fingers onto my phone' kind of post. So yeah, it's a bit deep and miserable, but I quite like it. My first post in a while, enjoy!! :)


Look At Me


Some people say
That the eyes are the window to the soul.
The very doorway into the conscious and subconscious mind,
Where all your dreams
Your hopes
Your fears

Are kept.

You can't look into my eyes.
They're dark as night
Until you look closer
And finally see the hint of chocolate brown
Warming them up.

My Mother's friend once said
I had the darkest eyes of anyone she'd ever seen.



Dark eyes.
Dark thoughts.

Dreams? To one day be free of these thoughts. To break away from self-consciousness and insecurity and rekindle some kind of happiness with the world.
Hopes? That maybe one day, I'll be able to find somebody who'll look past how dark the doorway is.
And see something there
That nobody else has ever even looked for:
The hint of a warm chocolate colour
That usually goes unnoticed.

Fears? That nobody ever will.


And that's why you can't look into my eyes.
I couldn't ever let you in through that doorway:
Because that's when you'd be close enough
To see who I really am.
