Beyond What You See
Every closed eye isn't really sleeping
Every curved lip isn't gladly smiling
Every empty stomach isn't craving just for food
Everyone else's life, as you think, isn't green and good.
Only if you wish to look beyond, you'll see,
There are unshed tears behind those restless eyes
There are unsaid words bolted by those curved lips
There are unheard tales burning the walls of parched stomach
Your mere assumptions and conclusions do not work.
