I Am Poem

I am a pair of glasses
I wonder whether she can see properly out of me
I hear her opening the case, taking me out
I see a pair of beady eyes, looking through me
I want her to be able to see through me properly

I pretend to be the savior
I feel her pulse, pumping behind her ears
I touch her little bumpy nose
I worry about whether I won't be needed any more, whether I'll be put back on the shelf forever...
I cry about how she can't see properly, even looking through me...
I am the eye magnifier

I dream that it's ok
I try to make it better for her
I hope it will be fine, some day...
I am an eye savior... for the moment...
