Eyes are windows to the soul
But what if eyes tell lies?
What if when I look in the mirror
see my sparkling eyes I realize
I'm forgetting the times when I stood in front of the bedroom door
hoping no one would come in
What if I remember the fear
i felt
hearing footsteps
if i remember the
way I'd hold the door shut
fight against a grown man
crying my eyes out
What if when I look in the mirror I see not who I grew into,
But still see a scared little girl
dead inside and out
a scared little girl who didn't know what love felt like
Didn't realize what form abuse could take
a scared little girl who never grew into her body
What if my eyes aren't happy?
What if they don't give away my pain?
If I'm still afraid, what if it doesn't show?
