People assumed you're okay.
They assume your happy.
They assume that you
don't crying yourself to sleep.
Or that you don't take
a blade to your precious writs.
Why?
Because they look at the
smiles.
I see all the pain.
Why?
Because I look at the
eyes.
They say
"Eyes are the windows to the soul."
They are.
They show if you're
in pain
sad
happy
scared
anxious
needing a hug.
So instead of assuming
and looking at the smiles,
start to look at the
eyes.
