Dissimulation

There’s a story in my eyes

It’s not the kind you want to hear

Don’t be surprised when the hero dies

And you’re left calloused with fear

 

Camouflaged by the color of the ocean’s waves

Don’t come too close, you might find out the truth

Instead they are the eclipse of graves

Blinded by the ignorance of youth

 

There’s a story in my eyes

Few have even read

They are too afraid of the character’s disguise

Or maybe it’s what I said

 

A hurricane of endless rain

Don’t let the color fool you

Cherry red bleeds from a vein

It’s not turquoise that is shining through

 

There’s a story in my eyes

It’s not as pleasant as it seems

The cover gives out lies

Hiding my silent screams

Great job with the rhymes and the theme of the poem! The second stanza is my favorite I must say!

This was a wonderful poem and I laughed when I read the first stanza!
