Tired Eyess<br />

<strong>HAYWIRE</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

There you are again, tired bloodshot eyes<br />

Dark, angry circles dragging at your lashes<br />

Then again, what i see is no surprise<br />

Don’t all of us burn ourselves to ashes?<br />

For that chance, that mere chance of<br />

The dazzling life of a dying, falling star<br />

We set hungry visions, sharp as a knife<br />

Golden stars, representing all we are<br />

Don’t cry with that surgical knife-like eye<br />

It’s made for medical precision and<br />

Or is that really all that is at hand?<br />

We’re more than stars on a fiifteen point scale<br />

So live that crying life, ‘fore it goes stale<br />
