Hidden Eyes

Eyes hidden from the world,
behind a cloth so dark,
hopes and dreams are beaten away,
until there isn't even a spark.

Under the thumb of the husband,
the bright eyes soon lose their shine,
glazed over from the pain they've felt,
but they don't show any other sign.

All the psychological torture,
but no where they can turn,
no one that would listen,
and places would be twice as stern.

These eyes are screaming for help,
upon the world's deaf ears,
by sitting and doing nothing,
we might as well be creating their tears.

So lets show these eyes that they are worthy,
lets show them the beauty around,
show them they no longer have to hide,
or keep their gaze fixed on the ground.

Maybe the shine will come back,
when these eyes are visible for all to see,
not forgotten behind the cloth,
but embraced for their strength and beauty.
