Can you see it?
The pain in those eyes
Can you feel it?
The hurting inside
The held back tears
The burning desire
To show himself to the world
To take off the mask
Show them who he really is
Every time he comes to me
Crying an ocean of tears
The bottled up emotions
He lets go from time to time
Makes me want to scream
Makes me want to take it away from him
Take his pain
And give it to the ones who’ve caused it
He doesn’t deserve being treated like this
Having to prove himself towards everybody
Only able to be himself around us
And it makes me so sad to see him like this
That mask won’t let anyone see anything
But I can see it
The pain in those eyes
I can feel it
The hurting inside
