see,
look
within
my brown eyes,
you will be dazzled
and I will bear your weight because
as dark as I am, that is something I always do,
.
as dark as I am, that is something I always do,
you can judge me if you desire,
spurt me with wise words,
but look, see
within
these
eyes,
.
you
will
find my
lost shadow
and you will see me
as I am without my white mask
and my scars will be on display just for you to view,
.
all my scars will be on display just for you to view,
the blotted marks of a known truth-
life is hard to live,
grasp this fact
once you
see
me.

the scars are most visible in the eyes… i would say this too…

sometimes the mask needs to be removed.
thank you.

A person’s eyes don’t like. They tell the truth. I think in everyone’s eyes there are some scars……if someone looks closely.

It’s true too – if you want to know what someone is thinking or feeling, the eyes rarely lie.

I like the weaving back and forth, I thought you would do a palindrome, smiles ~
Very well done, hypnotizing eyes ~

Thanks. I have tried palindrome a number of times but the result never came out to be really good. So I did not give it a go this time… I just worked on the easier thing. 🙂

This was very effective in many ways. The formula yielded an almost concrete poem, the line repetition gave it a musical quality, and the subject matter explicated your unique truths. Excellent.

Really great write – I’ve seen survivors of trauma with so much fear in their eyes, I wonder if the fear will ever leave.

Great use of the form–it’s like opening and closing eyes. My favorite line (As dark as I am…) you repeated twice–how thoughtful of you 😉
LikeLike
Wow, you did it twice! Very good use of the Fibonacci scale – and almost a palindrome. I find near-rhymes and near-palindromes more fascinating than the real thing.

….yes…yes…yes… the eyes will never lie… our eyes are the mirror of our soul and never failed to raise the truth… loved this… & the repetition of the final lines to serve as the starting line of the succeeding fib works verywell… smiles…
