What You Can See, But Won't

You can only see through open eyes.
Don't let your eyelids be your disguise,
And words float around in your tongue,
But you won't spit them out cause your afraid they'll run.
But your legs stop working when you work them too hard
And your mouth won't work unless you disregard.
All those words that they throw at your head,
All the tears you cry when you’re in your bed.
You can only see with open eyes,
So keep them open and you'll find some lies.

you have a very strong message in this poem...it's true that many a times we just ignore things by closing our eyes or looking the other way.....
