we see you.
that cobalt blue baseball cap is no match for those hazel eyes you hide.
shadows cast over swollen cheeks,
maybe you think that we won't always recognize you.
you are so brave and quiet,
sometimes we forget that you are suffering.
you bury your sadness underneath the surface and wear it like a second skin,
a story behind that mona lisa smile.
we see you.
a poem for the unseen

The very first line caught my attention. "to the girl who pulls down the rim of her hat a little lower, we see you."
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest
ReplyDeleteI am sick of hat posts so when I saw your title I almost just kept scrolling
but for some reason I didn't and this was really, really good. Especially for a hat post.
you're a good writer
I love the repeat of "we see you". Powerful, powerful words.
ReplyDelete"that cobalt blue baseball cap is no match for those hazel eyes you hide." ugh
ReplyDelete"Shadows cast over swollen cheeks" Loved. Was like a dagger to the heart, but with love written on it. If that even makes sense. #stolen
