you wear a mask everyday
retaining your thoughts to yourself
bearing a fake smile as you trudge through the halls
your head down, your pace quick
you disguise the hurt with pleasure
pleasure that quickly vanishes and is replaced with another
I catch a glimpse of you and my mind whirs
you never seem to show any other emotion than a smile on your charming face
I purposely walk in your direction and hastily bump your shoulder
looking into your eyes
and I can tell that only they show the true emotion you hide
the blue swirls hypnotizing me
they hold so much grief and I wonder
what has he gone through that brings him so much trouble
of course I never got to find out,
he was just a stranger that I wasn't supposed to know
and with that we both walked away
