i am the sky

i am the sky
people see the blue ocean of my eyes
i allow them to
because i am awake

i am a sweet sight
when nothing impedes my happy eyes
but when sadness takes over
all becomes a weird blur

clouds find themselves within my irises
grey pain lingers
and the people walking by
they ask, why can't i make you happy again

right now i am here , in this saddened state
showing you all the colours which are available to me
i'm scared because everyone can see how i feel
exposed and on show

i don't want everyone to see my sky moods
although at the same time
i stand proudly without fear of falling
strong enough to hold it all
