| I envy those with such beautiful eye colors. (My eyes are actually blackish-brown) |
So recently in school we were assigned to do Poetry-Out Loud. Again. To be honest I'll admit I wasn't too in-tuned with my poem last year. I barely remember what it was about, something involving silk and butterflies? But this year, I chose a poem that better resonates with me.
It was finding that poem that actually made me remember I once made a poem about-...well, it should be obvious by reading it. It's about 9 months old, but I think it still holds up, and I think you can guess what I was feeling to make in the first place. (P.S. No offense to people with green or hazel eyes.)
Enjoy!
"Green-Eyed (Like I)"
It slowly creeps up your spine
A green, greedy feeling
After taste is like spite
You are green-eyed
Just like I
A desire uncontrollable
Harder to catch than runaway zoo
Desire
Such a desire
Did all that you really could
It just wasn’t enough
It felt like you deserved it all
He-rumph!
How do they do it
You wanna know
Feels like they’ve been putting on a show
“I’ll be fine,” you say as a lie
You are green-eyed
Just like I
Toxic aromas surround yourself
“Just give me it all”
“I deserve more or less”
Furry, green, and overbearing
It bounds your legs
Controls your mood
It’s hands reach for it all, all
But doing it makes you take a big, big fall
You are green-eyed
Just like I
No easy way out
You wanted it all
Yet you already did
You’ve gotten nowhere
It feels like you’re nothing
It really, really is something
When you truly are…
…green eyed…
Just like I
