Turn Away

Turn Away

A Poem by Duckey
"

I guess i am not okay anymore

"
Your eyes do not shine like the sun
They are dull and sad
And I'm not sure what happened
I remember when they did shine
And you were happy
And you wanted to live
When you didn't mind what you looked like
Now you long to be as light as ash in the wind

I remember when your tongue had not tasted lies
And your fingers did not meddle with fire 
When your palms were not littered with burns 
And your arms not imprinted wit the kind of drawings you do at 3am

Somewhere you got lost
Lost your family
Your friends
And yourself

How do I make your eyes shine again?

But i guess if I turn away I'll forget
Turn away I tell myself
Turn Away

But my eyes are glued to the mirror
