Eyes

As I look at your photo, I see an older man, now aging and slower.

Even now married with children of my own your eyes stay the same, they still remind me of all the bulling, pain the crying and that horrid feeling in the pit of my stomach, only I as a child only remember so well.

I see my reflection in your aging eyes no one else, why was there no laughing, playing, not feeling scared all the time, was it the pressures of being a parent, or the mundane pressures of everyday life I now no as a parent myself.

As a child I so wish my days could of been different,and now as an adult I remember the those days as if it was yesterday,but reminding myself how sad I feel for you.

that's why I made a promise to myself.

I will never be like you.
