Opened Eyes…..

By: Lorinda McCall

Why can’t I see through the pupil of my eye?

Understanding the facts of life that apply.

Modeling the acts of life, on what I see,

Looking at the different things and people I thought I would be.

Putting on shoes and clothes that covers up the real me,

Not knowing that it just covers and disconnects my individuality.

Sometimes my eyes are closed and yet covered with pain,

I carry on with life, I’m happy when the sun is out and excited when it rains.

Why do I question the facts that are given within?

Fighting the battles of life that I will continue to win.

What is my purpose on things that I say?

Why don’t things come out to be my way?

Who do I follow when my direction arrows are gone?

Who’s there to help me when I can’t find my way home?

Not understanding my thoughts as they form in this big ball,

Believing in what others think and do, but allowing myself to fall.

As my eyes begin to patiently open to things I’ve never seen,

Collecting what counts, and the purpose of what it means.

My eyes are finally open to what I now see,

I stand and observe for what’s in it for me.

With opened eyes I’ve realized what I can achieve,

Going through life, the tool you need is only to believe!
