I donned those black tinted glasses
laughter echoing in the air
Mirth resounds in this fair
The twitch of my lips
enough to prevent any slips
I donned the black tinted glasses
To hide the anxious eyes wondering If i looked right
Result of clogged insecurities
Caused by feeling of inadequacy
I donned the black tinted glasses
To hide the sunken crescents under my eyes
result of endless sleepless nights
caused by the constant buzzing in my mind
I donned the black tinted glasses
To obscure the redness of my eyes
result of unbridled tears
caused by those who fed me lies
I donned the black tinted glasses
And they prevented me from seeing beyond darkness
One day,
I broke those black tinted glasses
Snapped by dainty, unwavering fingers
that carried lot more strength
than I could have envisioned
And I replaced them.
Now,
I don my clear glittery glasses
To Match with my loud outfit
To coordinate with my jovial spirit
There is no falter in my stride
As I maneuver over every tide
Endurance burning through my veins
ready to venture through rocky lanes
Those clear glittery glasses,
are not a veil over my persona
but a reflection of the
ignited sparkle
in my irises
