I was in my room,
On the bed,
All four walls
Closing in.
Then I heard a knock
On my door.
I dared not to open,
For my eyes were red.
I picked up my glasses,
Wearing them like a shield,
To hide the redness
Of the eyes that had spilled tears
I didn’t want them to see
The storms I've survived alone
The words I've swallowed
And the pain I've outgrown
On the bed,
All four walls
Closing in.
Then I heard a knock
On my door.
I dared not to open,
For my eyes were red.
I picked up my glasses,
Wearing them like a shield,
To hide the redness
Of the eyes that had spilled tears
I didn’t want them to see
The storms I've survived alone
The words I've swallowed
And the pain I've outgrown
