My Eyes
If I lift my eyes from the ground
Opening myself up
Afraid of what could happen
If I raise them into yours
Would let you inside of me
My hopes and fears
They are ones I can never show
For if I let anyone inside
Would they ever truly want to know?
Just what it is that makes me sad
Of how I long to cry
Of how much pain they have caused me
Would they even wonder why?
So I go along the sidewalk
With my eyes cast down below
I pray they never stop me
I pray they never know©
