The stars in your eyes

Lifeline Poetry Challenge Prompt 22

a message to my teenage self

Your eyes say a lot

still they don’t say much

if not heard!

Your eyes smile a lot

still look wistful

if not noticed!

Your eyes look at

what only you can be,

Your eyes hold dreams

no one can see,

only your can realise.

There are stars in them

or storms

lets find out.

This is a breathless me, speaking to my teenage self, in awe of what she has to go through, and what she would manage, it is very easy for me to say whatever advice, assurance I can give, but, it is her life, it is for her to find out!

There is so much to say, but actually not much, as I wouldn’t want my teenage self to be held by a foreboding, or an anticipation, from the future, just live, and find out what life is all about.

But yes, I would want to live it all with ‘her’ be her.
