What Lies Between the Lines

Do not ask me if I am fine I might just lie won’t show the sign Can you not see what lies inside The mask I wear things really hide I cease to speak for this I feel If you won’t listen I might not heal I sometimes feel I am not heard The things I say I put on hold You seem engrossed with things around Your laughter reaches higher ground I know it’s not the right moment To air worries they should just wait Do not ask me if I’m okay The face I show will just betray I just hide if I’m not ready To tell you things that make me needy Do not ask me just do not ask If time permits I will divulge Cause I can’t stand to lie to you You are my strength you know that’s true Do not ask me I will just tell In time I’ll be out of my shell Or read just read between the lines In time you’ll know my given signs.
