Words sting almost as much as broken mirrors
They can be deep and disguised as our darkest fears
They can also be sweet and right off the tip of your tongue
For these reasons, I believe no word should be left unspoken
Maybe if a “Goodbye” were said, no one’s heart would be broke
Displaying your emotions in the closest to truest form
Leaving books unread, still with the pages torn
These paths all lead to a similar place
Where you are greeted by a smiling face
But these masks are just their hooks and ties
It is just a way to disguise all their lies
To some, this is the last thing we need
To others, it is motive to continue to bleed
Why must society try to fix something that is different
Is it because they are afraid of the truth behind the curtain
Or do they not realize that almost everyone is hurting
Often, our stories are easily mistaken
By a bystander who may believe that we are faking
But believe me, this is a real emotion
I cry and dream of drowning in the ocean
Schemes and words are too easily served
As we become the ones being observed
