she hides and she hides
they talk and they smile
they laugh at her jokes and smile at her puns.
she's taking deep breaths to keep that smile on her face.
she smiles... she really wants to cry
she laughs... she feels like she gave up a long time ago
she wants someone to notice
she wants them to see without her pointing it out.
she ponders giving the truth to strangers when they ask, "hi, how are you?"
but she'll take a deep breath... and say "I'm OK, and you"
a unless cycle of questions no one really answers she thinks.
but my dear some do see
they notice the deep breath
they notice the eyes
they see the forced smile and clinched teeth.
you just think you're hiding
you just think you're not important
you just think they don't really want to know.
you can't read their mind... they can't read yours
tell them
tell someone
yell at them
yell at someone
tell me
yell at me
break the cycle to"useless" questions
when they ask...
don't answer with OK/fine/good
tell them the truth
and I'll ask
before you lie to me again...
tell me of the dark places you have been
the places your mind chases you to
I want to know all about those demons that make you long for an end
don't you dare sit there and tell me you're fine... thinking it's the easier thing to do.
I can see it all over your face... you're not OK
I see more than just tear stains on your face
