"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Eyes are piercing
aquard blue
looking far away

Eyes can look
but never see
where there view might lay

Eyes that can't
or maybe won't
see the hate and pain

Eyes that yearn
to see much more
than what they've so far gained
