Dark brown eyes hidden behind thick glasses,

My mother once had 20/20 vision

And said I should never stare at the sun

Cause i had blue eyes that break when shunned

She said this rule was made out of kindness

Without it, I’d experience blindness 

But my ears closed to her advice 

Not my eyes, cause when I saw the light 

I couldn’t help but stare at the beams

All I wanted was to be redeemed

Now I know I should have kept score 

Of the number of times my eyes felt sore 

I’ll never watch the sun again,

But maybe I’ll let the moon be my friend.
