Behind Blue Eyes

By Madison Grill, Portland High School

Behind blue eyes she hides
Fingers tracing the past scattered from left to right
she can't think
she can only feel
If you knew you wouldn't believe
But if you believe then you definitely don't know
She's shaking
Her heart breaking
But she'll say she is fine as if she doesn't feel completely forsaken
All she can see is the hatred
Knows nothing about what life truly is
Because she hiding
trying to save herself
Because without you she can't care for herself
When she's alone
it just gets worse
As her pain becomes evident on her arms
Leaving scars of course
but you wouldn't know
You left long ago
And though they'll say how happy she is
They have no idea how she really broke
Behind blue eyes she hides
a pain deeper than her own demise

​About the Author: Madison Grill, a sophomore at Portland High School, writes poetry when she's stressed because it's one of the few ways she can display her emotions in a healthy form.
