You can never tell

How much it hurts

By only looking

At what you can see

Happy without

Dying within

A radiant lie

A hidden truth



The softest eyes

Hide the hardest lives

The prettiest smiles

Hide the scariest scars

The most beautiful voices

Tell the ugliest stories

The brighter the light

The darker the shadows
A poem that came clear out of nowhere after studying T. S. Elliot. Inspired in particular by his "The Hollow Men", Tumblr, and most of all, Twitter.
