Silence
I stay quiet,
Not just to you,
But to everyone,
Dad's eyes are wide,
Or maybe not,
He can't catch my tears,
Thinks I'm all smiles,
I wish he's right.
Can't share with mom,
She's been through tons,
It shows in her gaze.
I stay silent,
Just nod along,
Claiming I'm okay.
And there's him,
I can open up,
Truth in his words,
Yet, it stings more.
