The Things My Eyes Show
To pass by
I hide my face
I can’t let her see
Everything that hurts me so
And all that my eyes can be
It’s my eyes that show so much
It’s my eyes that talk the most
So my eyes I hide
To cover up
The things I feel inside
“Don’t hide your eyes,”
My mother says,
“They’re so beautiful to see
Nothing can change
The way you feel
Nothing can take that away”
“I know, you hope
I can’t see
The way you feel inside
But I’m your mother
I can help some way
Everything can change”
“Think about it.”
She told me then
But now I feel so proud
I can look her in the eyes
And show her
All the things I feel inside
