Look Into My Eyes

Written back in 2012

Look into my eyes, 

and tell me what you see. 

Can you see that little girl, 

hiding beneath those tears? 

Look into my eyes, 

search thoroughly through me.

Is that little girl still hiding, 

still filled with fear? 

  

Is she still broken? 

Can you dry up her tears?

Can you return her stolen childhood? 

Can you break that boundary of fear? 

Does she still remember,

how gorgeous her smile used to be?!

Or can she only see the moment, 

when her family got all slaughtered, 

without a sign of mercy, 

for the sake of greed. 

Look into my eyes, 

search inside of me. 

can that little girl be helped, 

or was she swollen all by death?! 

Tell me the answer when you see her. 

Tell me what she is keeping beneath her. 

Can the little girl immerse again, 

and leave the tough woman I’ve become?! 

Or has she submerged forever, 

in an ocean so deep?!

  

Look inside my eyes, 

search inside of me.

I'm screaming down inside, 

wondering if you can help me.
