Big Brown Eyes

AMBER LEGOWSKI

Smile, you're on camera, being watched, carefully

A pair of big brown eyes watching my every move

And when exhaustion has taken over

Remember, those big brown eyes love to ponder

I could sell my soul for a wink of sleep

I turn towards those big brown eyes and realize

I am a women, I am not engineered to be weak

Emphatically I finish the task at hand

The screams that echo inside my consciousness are silenced

Silenced by her big brown eyes, twinkling at me, with the most genuine admiration

I am a women, I am not engineered to be weak, I repeat

I am not engineered to be weak

I will sleep when I am dead, until then, I am a hero to those big brown eyes

Some day we will have it good, I repeat

Some day we will have it good.....
