Those grey eyes of stone...

Those grey eyes, those grey eyes of stone
They glare at me, they mock at me
They are the eyes that once shone
But now, they sting my soul like a bee..


"Stop dreaming, you naive girl", they say
Telling me to land my feet back on earth
Squinting from the glaring sun of May
Just the same size, since the time of birth


Everytime I try to soar, they bring me down
Disapproving of the childish dream
When I wish to break free, they frown
Unreachable, my goals seem.


Those grey eyes, those grey eyes of stone
They try to hide its fear
Fear of failures, of society, of being alone
They smile, to disguise the tear


All I did was never enough
To look straight into those eyes
For I could never teach myself to be tough
Always believed its unspoken lies


It has taken me too long to understand
They belong to no one else but me
In my life, I couldn't take a stand
For those eyes could never see
The Gift called Life, the beauty inside me.
