My Eyes Roll

(Updated April 2022)

My eyes roll itself between the lines of your sarcasm;

Slowly, and painfully, squeezing through your words;

Like a balloon rolling on landmines, pretending it is floating;

Except, it is not –

Safe.

Like how I smile, pretending I am not –

Hurt.

Like a sharp arrow, pretending it is harmless;

It is not –

Okay.

The arrow strikes even in its disguise

So, just stop.
