"They" in this poem are those who are trying to figure me out because somehow I don't fit into their mold.
Their eyes brimming with questions
I stare back at them
My eyes offering no explanations
They seek to peel open my layers
But I do not oblige
Because like an onion
The content of those layers might draw stinging tears to their eyes

Somethings are better left unsaid
They stare at meTheir eyes brimming with questions
I stare back at them
My eyes offering no explanations
They seek to peel open my layers
But I do not oblige
Because like an onion
The content of those layers might draw stinging tears to their eyes
