Whispers Of Our Soul

I am Not as Fine as I Seem

She's says she's fine
But when she comes home
She closes the bedroom door
Climbs under the covers
And weeps

But the tears runs into her pillow
And her mouth is shut tight
So to anyone passing by
Her cries and pain
Sound like whispers

He says he will be okay
But when he is all alone
He sits by the window
Opens it up, looks at the stars
And screams

But the sound hits the stars
And the moon keeps it there
So to anyone listening close by
His shouting and agony
Sounds like the wind

She says everything's okay
But early in the morning
She closes the bathroom door
Gets out her makeup
And covers her bruises

But no one ever gets too close
They keep distance
So they never can tell the difference
Between that red mark on her neck
And a trick of the light

He says everything is perfectly fine
But late at night
He puts his hands on his face
Tries to protect himself from the scars
That those words make

But no one looks too closely at him
They miss that glint in his eye
The one that is yelling for help
He wants to be heard so badly
But no one will listen

I'm fine
I'll be okay
Everything is okay
Everything is perfectly fine

Even if I said those words
With tears pouring out of my eyes
With screams stuck in my throat
If I came to you
With covered up bruises
And a mind that cuts
You wouldn't stop to help
Because you would have believed me
When I told you

I am fine
I am going to be okay
Everything is okay
Everything is perfectly fine

You nodded and turned away
Because some things
Are just too broken to fix
