Las Vegas (Eyes) - Eden

Las Vegas (Eyes)
by Eden of @the.autisticats

sitting in silence
staring at and through a screen
my outrage is numbed because 
my eyes wear scars
they see, but cannot sense the impact 
of images they are exposed to daily

i want to allow myself
to feel this fully
that prospect is daunting because
i’d spend the day in tears
salty water would erode the scars
and my jaded eyes would be re- born

so, i sit in silence
staring at and through a screen
unmoving, and unfeeling
my mind is merely scratched
as the world falls down
two thousand miles away from me
