Mysteries

I am a mystery

Secrets hidden beneath dark lashes

A flash of eyes

if they are the window to the soul

tell me, what color are mine

because I don’t even know

Each day thousands of battles are fought within me,

that no one cared to tell me about,

just to stay alive

I don’t want to know

what goes on in my own head

or what secrets I keep from myself

under lock and key

keep them away

though the struggle between good and evil

rises to the surface

until it is right under my skin

so transparent

my veins are pulsing with the fight

my lips stay closed

a coy silent smile
