Battles

It’s crazy how they see

If you skip a class

Or leave dishes on the table

But they miss the fake smiles

The pain behind them

The weight on your heart

You carry everywhere you go

 

They’ll say out loud

The things you didn’t do

But never ask why

You’re slowly falling apart 

Piece by piece each day

When the light in your eyes 

Starts to fade away

But no one ever sees

 

Isn’t it easy to fix all visible 

The tasks the grades 

But how about the battles inside?

They don’t even make a sound
