eyes are the windows
to the soul
don't look in mine
please
there are things I've hidden
that I don't want
you to see
i don't want you to see
what i've done
or what i've thought
or what i'm doing
now
i don't want you to see
how i'm tired
or hurting
or just screwed up
and how i want to die
i want you to look at me
and see a smile
not what's behind it
because it doesn't matter
you can't change it
so don't
even
try
just act like i'm happy
try to pretend
i'll pretend that you're happy
even though you aren't
no one is
no one is okay
no one is sane
no one is safe
accept that and move on
because inside
we're all dying
we're all sad
we're all tortured
but on the outside
we're all so
happy
