Not I
They say the eyes
Are windows to the soul
And when someone cries
Pain as tears they flow
You see the pain in my eyes
The heartache stays inside
Where deep & hidden it lies
My heart may cry, but no, not I
The anger may burn inside
And I may want to die
But even though my soul may cry
I will not cry, no, not I
My frustration may show
As I scream and yell
For I am alone
In my own little hell
My eyes will show all
But I won’t speak
You might see my desperate call
But do not think that I am weak
My cries won’t tell you
And no, not my lips
My pain is invisible through and through
But I will not ask for your help with this
I won’t show you
I won’t cry
I won’t tell you
No, Not I
