The Whole I Seem Dark But If We're Close And You Bring Me Some Light I'll Give It Back And You'll See I'm Not So Bad - Tumblr Posts

my eyes - 20231225
I may seem dark, but come a little closer
Make me happy, I’ll reflect your light
You'll see silhouettes of warm summer days near forests and green lakes
Specks of black stay, but aren't they pretty?
Very few see my green truth, I don't allow others to see anything but black
Soften me, make me forget what I lack
You've shone it on me, the light
Both our faces, now painted with delight

this one time my art teacher looked me dead in the eyes and said “you have dark brown eyes right”? THEY'RE LIGHT GREEN.
i suppose that's what inspired this entire poem
the whole “i seem dark but if we're close and you bring me some light I'll give it back and you'll see i'm not so bad”
i think eyes are meaningful. and i think they're a great parallel to people as a whole
apparently it's even more like that with my own eyes. maybe i'm just too self-absorbed
