Don't Look Me in the Eye

Have you ever.....?

Have you ever heard the voices that whisper in your ears?

Or maybe you see the shadows of things not really there.

Do you hear the screams of pain and suffering?

Do you smell the lies hanging in the air?

Do you see a gloomy sky that never seems to disappear?

Have you noticed yet?

How everyone has false smiles and laughs?

It hangs in the air and all around you. It's a sad life.

Its how the world works.

Following orders like a puppet or as if you were in a dream, controlled.

Did you notice the tears falling ever so slowly to the ground?

Each one meaning something so strong,
an emotion that is frowned on.

Did you ever notice that you can save them?

By smiling something true and strong.

By being the best you can be.

By being made of love instead of hate.

All you gotta do is move,

Through the quicksand,

Or hardened cement.

Claw and bite your way through.

A battle worth fighting,

Just look beyond your sadness to a

world so beautiful and bright.

Something you made with your tears and your smiles.

No matter how false it can be somedays,

All you gotta do is believe.

It will get better, and your heart will be full of life.

Something you thought impossible.

Please do your best

and just know that somebody needs you

even if that somebody is just me.

A stranger you don't know,

Loves you for who you are,

Because you're beautiful in and out.

Cry,

Scream,

Beg,

Cut,

And just know

I hear you.

You're not alone!
