Your Eyes Tell Another Story

Your words say

You’re okay

Strength in

Your words

But your eyes

Tell another

Story

Pain written

In tired

Eyes.

You speak

Your strength

Making it come

True

Reminding yourself

That sometimes

Strength comes

In the moments

You allow yourself

To grief.

You carry your

Words strong

And powerful

But there’s a pain

In your eyes

That can’t

Be hidden with

Words.
