Let me know what you think…
I focus on you,
And I don’t know what to say
I’m familiar with what I see,
the look of crying and dismay.
Although she wants to hide it,
It’s the color of my mothers eyes
Hidden under the happiness,
Which she wears as a disguise.
It’s the face of my friend,
Lost and alone
Overpowered by the drugs,
No emotion being shown.
It’s the person in the mirror,
Who once felt the same
Overuled by the tension,
Trapped inside the pain.
I see the look in your eyes,
How you just want to slip away
Forget about tomorrow,
And end it all today.
But just because thugs are hard,
And you’re scared to move along
Don’t let that one fear,
Keep you from staying strong.
