Poisoned Eyes Poem by Benjamin Rome Clarke
Poisoned Eyes
These poisoned eyes are wanting sleep
And wanting sights to hold.
They're wanting love and wanting peace
No matter what they're told.
Yet even in the wakeless land
Their wantings are not met.
For even in that skewed locale
The laws are firmly set.
Blame the heart that never rests
Although it might so will.
Blame the mind that cannot see;
That life cannot fulfil.
All about the tiresomeness of the HSC and the unfulfilled 'wantings' of adolescence, structurally inspired by Emily Dickinson.
