red eyes
are nothing
but a way
to hide
from everything
that I don’t want
to see
clearly.
Nothing but
a diguise,
like a mask
or some shit.
And I like it
that way.

Red eyes, very interesting. Like red eyes forming rose tinted vision to show you only what you want to see, your version of the world.
I loved your concept of red eyes.
Thank you for sharing.

Ah, a dose of non-bullsh*t. Refreshing.
When I was growing up we had an albino rabbit with red eyes.
You’re not that rabbit in “disguise” are you Lou?
Have a great day.

There’s a ying to your yang. Your red eyes prevent others from seeing you as you truly are. I’m fairly confident there’s a sensitive dude behind this drunk degenerate, but I’m not sure. And what would it mean to me anyway?

As long as your single you can “not give a fuck.” When a woman finally worms her way into your life, that’ll change my degenerate friend, that’ll change. Until then, live carefree for the rest of us.
