Behind My Eyes Poem by Raheem Lyttle Kiyaga

Tears in my eyes keep my eyelids from closing,
But the laws of physics keep my head from imploding.
I just want to cry
all of the time.
I blitzed my brain with all yourquestions,
And now it's leaking out of my eyes.
Aches in my heart keep my lifefar from perfect,
But something in my mind keeps saying it's worth it.
I'm just so lonely,
I miss being happy.
I threw away emotion just to be free,
And now I miss being me.
Voices in my head keep my mind from functioning,
But deep down, I know there'sno use in running.
I just want to hide,
And die inside.
I put on a show to save my pretty face,
And cover the way that I lied.
