Look Inside (B)

It's in the eyes
Everything you need to know
The person
That people don't usually show
It's hidden in the depths
And behind the lashes
The whites
The pupils
The pretty blue green of your iris.
A story untold
A story unseen by any normal person
A story unshared and unheard
The things you don't want people to know
Let alone see
Are brought out in the white of your eyes
As the sadness seeps through
The bloodshot returns
As the tears stream down your face
The story unfolds with them.
You close them and try to hide away
From the world
From all the people around you
