When I was younger, I learned how to tell if people were truly happy
The secret is to look them in the eyes.
Make them feel vulnerable and don’t break the connection.
It’s an unspoken link.
Like, I see you for who you truly are.
You may be able to hide but I see you.
I see
Your tears at night
I see
Your mask of make up and bravado
I see
What you don’t want anyone to know
I learned how to tell if people were truly happy at a young age,
Imagine knowing when you’re the one causing the unhappiness.
