when you read about me on a page
for they were not my choice
and eyes can lie
ask about the makeup
or lack thereof
that covers or exposes my dark circles
and wonder how I got them
why I cannot sleep
ask about the way I turn my head
when I hear shouting
and close my eyes tightly
when sirens blare
if you truly want to know me
ask about the way my eyes refuse to fill
when I am sad
and wonder why
I am empty.
