"Tough eyes"

dreams crushed by society

Your skeptic mind spinning

soul tearing through your skin

you can't bare your sins

holding your breath to escape what society calls reality

feeling emotional but not crying

your not weak, so you say

reaching for a wish? Ain't no stars in this dark sky

just hopeless dreams and tough eyes.

this is great poetry... I can definitely relate to this, and think many others can as well.. I have felt this feeling personally, my mind tends to zone out to escape realities rules, but sometimes we learn the grass is no greener on the other side... holding in many emotions personal feelings and finding it hard to release those thoughts... making it hard to fit into the modern world but rather create your own reality within one... only to find out what we really seek is out there but thats just it... its out there.. great piece

Another good song........I don't know if that is what you are going for, but your writing seems to sound like music to me.

Good job!

No I wasn't going for a song but thank you I do love music

Societal norms can really be a person's nightmare if one doesn't align with them. To some extent I am a victim of the subject of your poem. Which by the way was beautifully written. I enjoyed it. :)
