Brown is the color that describes my eyes
The color of beauty and strength
But what do I call it when they slowly turn shades darker?
Defeat.
Defeat because if one changes to become something other than its original self.
From a reactor that totally gets your reaction from your emotion.
Defeat.
The fact that it got to you, me, us
Through these brown eyes I see more hatred
My eyes turn a shade darker.
Defeat
More and More I see us killing each other
Again my eyes turn a shade darker
The more they turn they turn the more I look like a clown
Everyday
A little more every second
I am defeated

Wait!!!

All of a sudden my eyes start to turn a shade lighter
I realize that I don't have to let this happen
That I can help change you me us
So that the shades of our eyes stay beautiful
Because during that defeat we took the time to retreat
Within that retreat we all see through our eyes
that we will rise
above society
By now my eyes are back to their natural state
They fully recognize that they are beautiful
And strong enough
To overcome
And not be blinded by defeat.
