Darker Youth & Darker Hues
Hello! I’m Amanda, the older version of you.
I wore those same glasses, just the way you do.
The rose colored glasses, turning into the saddest shade of blue.
This isn’t forever, just trust me it’s true.

There’s no possible way that I am you!
I‘m only sixteen and barely coasting through.
Inside & outside, I‘ve become so battered and bruised.
You could never be me & I grow into such a woman of muse!
The man that I love, he just loves to abuse.
Lady I see the love in your eyes, I can read social queues!
The strong parts of me he locked away to keep out of my use.
At this point just lend me your smile, I’d like to use it as my noose!
He’s a life sentence & I have no way to break loose.
You move about so freely, we couldn’t have wore the same shoes!
He hits me, then yells at me for causing this bruise.
I hope you find the girl you need because I think you’re confused. We both have green eyes but yours are even slightly darker hues.
I swear I’m not trying to be rude.

This life that you will have one day is beautiful & running smooth.
Listen to loved ones that really matter, get away from him, what they say is the truth.
Do as I’m say, despite what you think it’s not all doomed.
You poor girl, I hate that I surrendered the days of our youth…
that’s exactly why our green eyes are now a darker hue.
