Eyes of Us

Just random thoughts through the normal of a day

Do we go for the things we want?

Chase after with pure intent,

Light in our young blessed eyes,

Wings spread to catch a heart,

 

But how do we know what we want?

Everyone else seems to, they know,

And here we sit, upon our bums,

Asking ourselves this crazy question,

 

What. Do. We. Truly. Deeply. Want?

Confront the things in front of us,

Debate between heart and sane mind,

Conflicting opinions constantly, always,

 

But then comes the next step,

Do we need that of which we want?

Do we deserve the things we dream,

Do they want what we want?

 

I want something that lines the clouds,

Puts the fire beneath the volcanoes,

Swims with the dolphins in the Maldives,

Decorates the golden curls of little girls,

 

Maybe we can learn to be enough,

To fulfill our own dreams of life,

Free our dazzling wings from cages,

And be our own inspirations, always,

 

Do we go for the things we want?

Chase after with true hearts of ours,

Not needing a love, but in want we do,

Crave the comfort of another soul,

 

Love ourselves, and someone else,

We can abide by someone else, with,

Light shared between young eyes of us,

Maybe in harmony, maybe in dreams.

I enjoyed the complete poem. The ending was amazing.
"Love ourselves, and someone else,
We can abide by someone else, with,
Light shared between young eyes of us,
Maybe in harmony, maybe in dreams. "

This poem was one I had to re-read like 4 times because I wanted to make sure I caught on to every little detail. And hopefully, I did. It was fantastic!
