Let Me Explain the Bags Under My Eyes
I wear my restlessness
Beneath my eyes
I am restless
Restless from heartache
Watching my loved ones fade away
And letting others do me wromg
Restless because I am afraid
Of the unwritten story that lies ahead
and wondering how it will end
Restless from the nights of no sleep
When my eyes are closed but my mind runs wild
Yes, my restlessness lies beneath my eyes
My big brown glassy eyes
Eyes that tear
Eyes that cry
I am restless
from the tears
But I still wear my restlessness
proudly
The tears dry up
The pain goes away
I'm restless? No, resilient
And that's how I'll stay
