Head down
Hat pulled low
To cover the emptiness in your eyes
Coat and gloves in the middle of summer
Lest they see the scars
You tried to wear with pride
Head down
Walking with purpose
To mask the doubt parading through your thoughts
Watching everyone, acknowledging no one
Lest a current stranger
Become a future friend
Head down
Scowl on your face
To bury the growing fear in your chest
Frowning at children
Lest anyone glimpse
The warmth in your heart
Head up scanning the crowd
To spot the one face that will put a smile on yours
Failing to keep the glow from your eyes
Finally allowing
That spark of hope
To reignite inside of you
A chance at happiness
You thought wasn't worth saving
Head down, head up
Frown never quite reaching your eyes
Semblance of a heart, vault of a mind
Perpetually dismal
Though not as broken as before
Two halves made whole
The smallest of scars
To remind you of what had once been
When you stalked across this city
Head down
Hat pulled low
