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.
