Not-So-Blue Eyes

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."- Henry David Thoreau

Not-So-Blue Eyes
Proko

Those blue eyes, that once shone bright

Brought life to my heart, and made it light

Those blue eyes, flickering with excitement and style

When bantering, or laughing, how it complimented his smile

Those blue eyes, a cool tone but warm

Once held mine in theirs, making me transform

Those blue eyes, though endearing, hid much rage

Too focused on negatives, an invisible cage

Those blue eyes, how they'd brim with tears

Every clarity, moral, and assertion disappears

Those blue eyes, insetting guilt and submission

Left a stab to my heart, unknown demolition

Those blue eyes, once reflecting love turned toward lust

Fracturing my heart, and destroying my trust

Those blue eyes, now turn slowly to grey

His firm grounded and morals, drifted away

Those not-so-blue eyes, now become stranger

Being further away I realized the danger

I had changed so much, I was blind to the reality

Conforming, replacing, letting go of my personal identity

Those not so blue eyes, have no hold on me anymore

I have my life ahead, I wait for what's in store

My new found life, I confidently know

This experience though painful, helped me to grow

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
