Realization

A realization in my day

Something strange

But with perfect logic

I now know why

My eyes hurt daily

It’s because I don’t cry

 

My eyes get so dry

My contacts begin to be a bother

Math, biology, and history

Are the absolute worst

Because my eyes are getting tired

They just want to release

 

I can’t let the tears fall

No matter how much they beg

I hold in my strength

And just bit my lip

I can’t show sadness in school

I need to maintain my mask

 

I wish I could tell

How the difficulty level is changing

Whether it’s getting easier to hide

Or a whole lot harder

But no one is noticing

Maybe my wish is coming true

 

I want to let go

But I can’t break in school

I have to keep my mask

No matter how much it bugs me

I’ll just have to deal with it

And pretend it’s just nothing
