Within their eyes you saw cheerfulness

Within their eyes you saw happiness

Within their eyes you saw pride

Within their eyes you saw strength

Within their eyes you saw hope

Within their eyes you saw calmness

Within their eyes you saw balance

Then you looked closer.

Within their eyes, you see tears just barely held back.

Within their eyes, you see sorrow.

Within their eyes, you see shame.

Within their eyes, you see weakness.

Within their eyes, you see despair

Within their eyes, you see chaos

Within their eyes, you see confusion....

Now, you look even closer...

Within their eyes....

You can see someone who's broken....
