the curse of eyes

there is a deep saying in the world
if it was "eye for an eye" we'd all be blind
well if the whole world was blind
i feel that it would be a blessing
if we were blind, maybe we could be happy
maybe then wed understand true beauty
maybe people wouldn't look in the mirror
seeing the figure they hate
maybe girls wouldn't be so focused on appearance
and realize that not all guys look like stars
maybe guys wouldn't see a girls looks
and see the person behind them
maybe i could look outside for once
and not be in searing pain because of my eyes
i wear my sunglasses for a good reason
its not for a fashion style
its not because i think it looks cool
its because i'm in a constant pain i want to hide
i hide my eyes behind my sunglasses so my pain doesn't hurt others
if we were born blind maybe we could focus on a bright future
instead of seeing the blood of our pasts
maybe we could live a peaceful life among each other
not seeing a society tearing us apart
so if you say that eyes have been a blessing
then you don't know the truth behind them
