An Entry for the April Prompted #3 Challenge below:
--
Friend, look what I see in your eyes:
A soul much stronger than it deems,
with strength to blind a sunray’s gleams,
yet places faith in false demise.
.
Rise up tall and reach past the skies—
your dream is nearer than it seems.
Friend, look what I see in your eyes:
A soul much stronger than it deems.
.
Weaken the fear shaking your cries,
turn those words to defiant screams.
Break this old attire at the seams,
unearthing your truth is the prize.
Friend, look what I see in your eyes.

Lovely! If only we could look through another's eyes...
Yes! If people saw themselves as we see them, they would be astonished. If only we could bring them to this understanding, though...
