Those cold empty eyes
I'm not meant to see
It hurts to believe
That that man is me
He looks so weary
He could soon be teary
Like he sees the world's beauty but is always leery
Maybe it's fear that keeps him so worn
Or just introspection making him torn
I know myself far too well it seems
To see all this in these photonic beams
A rock hits the surface
My face is a blur
Among nature's expanse
I make not a stir.
Author notes
I've never actually thought these things staring at the surface of a lake, but it seemed like a good place to counteract any thoughts of myself I have.
