Turn AwayA Poem by DuckeyI 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
