I know they're not okay
No one else seems to take notice
that they're putting up a front
Lying to convince who?
Themselves?
Or the ones around them?
Maybe it's my intuition
or
The way I read and easily observe people
I don't have to know
What's going on in their minds
All the conflictions
The chaos
The convictions
I don't have to know their body language
The little ticks
The adjustments
The coping tricks
I don't even have to know them
Their story
Who they are
What destroyed them
I just know.
They can hide behind their masquerade masks
but
I know.
