Behind these eyes

Behind these eyes are a thousand stories and a thousand more tears,

Many heartaches and infinite fears,

But on my face without a trace you see a smile in the perfect place,

No sign of tears and never fears

I seemed to be fine all through these years

Yet deep inside, it comes alive

A truth and freedom for which I strive

To show myself for who I am

What I feel now and way back then

Yet silly me afraid to show

The part of me that no one knows

The torment of souls and craziness of mind

Which lurks in all people, some yet to find

Behind these eyes are many a day

Many words, many songs, many things to pray

This part inside is hard to share

For fear that others will never care

"They'll never understand" or "How can they know"

" The wonderful wickeds I've come to show"

Behind these eyes are things others have said

Things that make you want to just drop down dead

You judge me? For the things I've done?

Tearing down others is your idea of fun?

I know that you have had it rough and tough

But confiding in me can be just enough

Behind these eyes are tests and trials

All of which will someday be worth while




Behind these eyes are a thousand stories.
