The Window into my Eyes


               by Megan Grogan '23




               The World wants Justice                            No Death

               But I feel they want more                          No weaknesses
               They will never stop                               Only Strong

               Nothing will ever satisfy them                     Breathtaking days

               They will sin until they get it                    And adventure

               It will take more than a life                      My eyes open up

               Maybe it’s Pride                                   To see the real world
               Maybe it’s Wealth                                  I see America’s beauty

               I feel they’ll never                               Not it’s destruction

               appreciate us                                      And I remember again why I’m here

               The red, white,                                    Today I will be here

               And blue                                           Making my dreams and others’
               When will their conscience shine through           come true

               Hopefully today                                    I will be an actress and a leader

               Maybe Tomorrow                                     One day

               Sadly, maybe never                                 I will

               All I know is me                                   Be there
               I don’t know others                                With you                    There is a person
                                                                                              With a voice
               Sometimes I guess                                  Once Again                  But small

               But I don’t know the truth                                                     Asking them why
                                                                                              Nobody can hear it
               Inside of them                                                                 All they hear is
                                                                                              The loud voice
                                                                                              Shouting, Shouting
                                                                                              For what someone else
                                                                                              wants
                                                                                              Empty promises
                                                                                              Just for their sake
                                                                                              Then there is my world
                                                                                              Smiles everywhere
                                                                                              And all things people love
                                                                                              Always the sun’s shine
                                                                                              Never sadness
                                                                                              That is what makes it Mine
                                                             39                               No unfairness.
