The Shadow Person

Look within those eyes,

look behind that smile,

look between those bracelets

and underneath those sleeves

Now tell me what you see;

is it that hard to believe

that someone so seemingly together

is more broken than you could perceive,

Did you ever ask 'are you okay'?

How often did they say 'I'm fine'?

Yet that frown was clearly evident,

and those eyes showed tears unshed

but you just brushed it off

Walked away from the lonely being

Let them fade away and hide.

Hidden from all those watching eyes.

Dark souls and blank faces.

Cold hearts and shattered dreams.

Who does this remind you of?

That shadow person.
