Eye Model
The Artist wanted tears so he applied eye drops The shot was not quite right so More eye drops & more eye drops It’s a blur though all recorded Not long after— news about eye drops Many brands recalled for causing blindness I can see so I got lucky Most of my problems are not visible Some show but that’s not the point I want to say how it feels & It feels like my body is falling apart Can’t you see my pain Invisible to the untrained eye
