If you look into my eyes
The windows into my soul
What will you see?
You’ll see sadness, and pain
But also happiness and joy
You’ll see fear, sometimes
Regret at times
Yes, these windows
Sometimes, they need a good cleaning
Most times
The pain and sadness win
They are what show in my eyes most often
After a lifetime of abuse
I am worn out
And worn down
I am ready to give up
But somehow
I never do.
I keep on fighting the good fight
But…
On days like today
My birth day
I am reminded
That there is joy and happiness to be found
If I just look for it
Look around
It is there
Peeking through
If I let it into my soul
I will feel whole.
Good to be aware of that balance 🩷
