Eyes

They say eyes are like windows into your soul. Eyes expose the part of you that you hide away from the rest of the world. Eyes can let people in, and eyes can block people out. Eyes accede to light, but also to darkness.

Eyes can give away all your secrets, so you'd better watch out.

I dare you to look me in the eyes
That's where the deepest part of me resides
And I'm not the monster they made me out to be
So judge not on what you hear, but what you see
And don't walk away.

I see your footsteps in the sand
I can change, if you would only understand
What it's like to be me
I'm captive and free
Surrounded and alone
Please don't walk away.
