I feel like I have a rock in my eye
not a little one that can be rubbed away
a larger rock, like a bolder that’s here to stay
I don’t understand where it came from
its as if it appeared on me, the only one
not like pink eye when my entire face is concealed
more giant bolder rubbing on my eyelid
I just wish for this blemish to go away
so I can get back to the things of my regular days
not constantly rubbing trying to make it escape
or forever throwing water in it to drown it away
true be told that I just might have a problem
I just don’t know if this eye issue is meant for me to cry them
for them to flow like a river from tear ducts
maybe even cleanse me of the madness and my bad luck
maybe the eye is but a sign
saying that my mind is going blind
