In My Eyes

September 12, 2012

Every time I close my eyes
I see a better place.
Full of love and kindness everywhere.
No one is treated badly.
Everything is fair.
But, when I open up my eyes,
I come back to reality,
where there are hardships and difficult times.
Finances and debt become problems.
And people are dying, too.
There is love and peace,
yet there is still hatred and war.
I just wish the world could see it in my eyes.

I wrote this poem because I was inspired by one of my language assignments. We were asked to write what we saw, something imaginary. And this is what I imagine.
