Glasses,
They disguise,
The purple bags,
Under my eyes.
Glasses,
If eyes are red,
You don't see it,
Just glasses instead.
Glasses,
Hide the tears,
From your friends,
And fellow peers.
Glasses,
They hide the pain,
On my face,
Time and time again.

Lines ever more unclear, Not sure I'm even here...
Under the covers I can hide away. Hide from words that hurt me. Faces that scowl in my direction. Under the covers I am left be. Under the covers I don't hear. Negativity pouring off the tongue.
(Another free write aided by the night). Just give me a day. One single day. That's all that I ask. Send it my way. Just give me a night. One peaceful sleep. That just may be. All that I need.
Dark Safe Familiar Retreat My bedroom; Bed Safe Secure Cocooned My own private womb. Regress Curl Foetal Warm Just like a child; Block Noise Hidden Sight Just for a little while.
To those who wear the biggest smile... Laugh the loudest Dance the longest Thank you for being ok Or pretending to be ok at least.
You open up your wrist again, Let the love flow out of you, And seeing now the state I'm in. You feel remorse but still want to. In my words sometimes I fly, Anger and sadness and who and why.
How come I can't tell people I cry ?. And that I feel really sad sometimes ?. Why can't it be ok if I don't know why ?.
If I was going to tell you a secret, would you tell not a soul. No matter how twisted, would you help me feel less distanced. Would you judge me but take my side.
I hate that smile, the one I plaster on my face, the one that says I'm happy. The only thing that tells otherwise are my words. The words that honestly tell you I'm not okay.
@tattyteddy If I knew you all and you were in the same room as me I wouldn't write or tell you a word of this
@Platypus, it's just like u say at school, glasses mask you from the rain and everything.( I really wish I had a glasses emoji or what ever it's it's called).
