Grateful

Eyes filled with tears

It was like a clear sky

Ready to be clouded

In those clear glassy eyes,

You could dig deeper and find nothing

The eyes reflected something much darker

The glassy eyes reflected the pains of life

How frustratingly painful life can get

Without a moment of care

Without a red light signal

Without waiting

The tornado washing over

Destroying everything in between.

It was like that

To her

It was not forgiving to her

Rather 

The difficulties were stronger

One could see how scared she was

Scared to even think what to do next

Scared of the outcomes next

Give her a door and she will happily run away from all this

Life

It does not treat everyone with kindness

If it does to you

Be grateful.

Yes we should be grateful because others can be having a much harder time of it. Some may be in war zones or suffering from life threatening illness. It is all a matter of perspective. That can easily be forgotten when we feel sorry for ourselves. Nicely expressed poetry.

amen to that .. gratitude is the most healing uplifting thing one can do in the face of the troubles .. barring fighting for your life and home .. the imagery using the eyes makes this one for me ... i am drawn in easily ... from clear skies to clouded and storms ... our eyes do tell a tale if we keep aware and if those we look into are open ... so much is out of our control ... the more we trust in our own devices .. the more shocking it is when things simply do not go our way .. i like the thinking and imaging that went into this .. small fix if you like .. V3 L5 should be ".... difficulties were ..." or "...difficulty was..." ..
V3 L3 is strong for me ... i felt her pain and disconsolation ... :)

I like the eyes best in everyone. They can tell you a thousand things if you are open enough to read them.
You get the image really well. Also, thank you for the correction. :D
