Behind My Eyes
Behind my brown eyes
Are scared little people
Running, screaming,
Trying to get out
Behind my brown eyes
Are thoughts you can’t see
Images you can’t imagine
Nightmares you hope to never see
Behind my brown eyes
Are reasons I’m me
Reasons im afraid
Reasons I cant explain
Behind my brown eyes
Are things i can never unsee
Things i wish i could let go
People trying to escape
Escape the thoughts
The feelings
The reasons
Everything
Trying to escape
The hatred
The judgments
The images
The thoughts
Those pictures
The pictures,
Those pictures
Made them scared
Those pictures, sounds
Images…
Made them run for their lives,
Insane, and afraid.
Afraid of who i am
Afriad of my past and story
Afraid to let people near me
Afraid of everything
They want to escape
Leave the thoughts behind
Leave whatever happened
Start a new life.
But they can’t
They’re trapped
Never able to get out
Constantly seeing those, those
Things…
Whatever it is, they can’t unsee it
They’re trapped
Looking at it 24/7
They can’t escape,
And they will never know.
