Look me in the Eyes.

Look me in the Eyes.

A Poem by ModernDayShakespeare

i'm sorry i can't look you in the eyes
see ever since i was a little girl
i was put in my place, i knew when
to put my head down and exactly when to lift it up.
I'm just sorry i can't look you in the eyes.
The truth is in your eyes i see my reflection, a deep connection, our affection, and i feel actual attention >.<
see that feeling is something that im not used to.

As the person i've become i've chose not to try.

Cause tryin gives the oppurtunity to failure.
and the burden on my back is heavy enough.
Like a baby struggles to step his first step.
my eyes struggle to eye your eyes..
so i apologize that i cant look you in the eye.
Maybe it's guilt that overcomes me. Devours my ability to turn of the "just do it " switch. Soon my body is engulfed in repiticious chanting. "look awayy", and my eyes cant hold steady for 1 second longer.
I'm sorry i cant look you in the eyes
but i smile to not only cover up but make up for this weakness. This curse that takes away the privlege of getting to stare into your eyes all day long. Honey, im sorry i cant look you in the eyes. but who said i never tried...
