These Eyes Never Lie

Look me in my truthful eyes, while my mouth lies saying that I’m okay. I hide it so well. This anger and pain that grows here inside of me each and everyday. It’s been awhile since I honestly was alright. I go to sleep at night fearing the days that will come to haunt me in my head. Don’t believe me when I say everything is alright, it rarely is, barely was, and may never be again. I’m sitting here as the pain is boiling over in my brain. My mouth is trained to hide it all, but my truthful eyes give me away. Why do you think I never smile? Is there just something wrong with me? I’ve tried and searched with no luck at all. I missed the call for happiness, so now I’m stuck in a constant state of misery. Incessant until the end. I’ll keep telling you I’m okay my friend. Some days I am, some days I’m not, but I’ll say I am either way. The only way the truth is told, is if you look me in my truthful eyes. Study them as they burn so deeply. See visions from within my soul as they burn a hole in my heart. Then you’ll know if I am okay. Then you’ll know the truth. All you have to do, is look me in my truthful eyes, because these eyes never lie.
