Don't Cry Brown Eyes

Brown Eyes

You cry

Just as much

Just for this and that cause

Like the Blue do

And the Green do

And the Hazel do too.

You crinkle with beautiful lines

Brown Eyes

Just as deep

Just as sweet

Like the recessive do

And the unique do

And the popular do too.

Brown Eyes

You resent the genes you wear

But the beauty you are certain you lack

The “interesting” you are sure belongs to another person

Is exactly how the Green Eyes feel

And the Hazel Eyes feel

And the Blue Eyes feel too.

Brown Eyes

Take pride

And maybe the Hazel Eyes will follow

The Green Eyes

And the Blues.

They will follow You

Brown Eyes

The one that always feels no better than a copy

When each face

Creates

A new pair of insight.
