In my eyes the sun shines bright.
I hope and pray to never lose the light.
As I grow older and I see more.
The light starts to dim, as if closing a door.
In my eyes I can conquer the world.
I face my fears when my stomach is curled.
Getting complicated and more confused.
Life gets harder to face and I feel abused.
In my eyes everyone wears a smile.
I put one on my face and hold it for a while.
I smile on through every struggle.
Even when life gets hard to juggle.
In my eyes life is a test.
I could be failing but I'm doing my best.
Falling down and getting back up.
Taking life as a drink, I never empty my cup.
In my eyes evil does not exist.
I hold onto the good tightly in my fist.
But growing up, there is nothing I can do.
So I hold my head high and keep pulling through.
