Those eyes have stories to tell
That person has been dragged through hell
Fighting to hold back many tears,
their inner voice screams
begging someone for an ear, no one hears
They get dressed and punch a clock
they've hiked a difficult road
Not many dare to walk
We never truly know someone
we can't see the damage
life's challenging times have done
Truly listen to strangers and family because
Those eyes have stories to tell
An intense and much-needed
An intense and much-needed lesson in tolerance and empathy. How true that we should listen more and judge less because we have no idea what struggles others are going through.
"Those eyes have stories to tell" Well said! Beautiful guidance.
