ive always wanted blue eyes
but of course, my luck
im stuck with green and brown.

i wish they looked like the sky on sunny days
the ocean tides during the morning
two big sapphires on each side of my face
shining every time i blink.

but instead here i am
with eyes, far from blue
not fully green
not fully brown
just hazel.

i used to want blue eyes
but then i realized my eyes are the colour of the grass after night showers, mixed with a bit of soil
they were emeralds with a chocolate hue
not fully green
not fully brown
they are a beautiful
shade of hazel.
