I BELIEVE YOU

​I believe you
Without you even having to say the words
I see it in your eyes
Your 10,000 foot gaze
Your slouch
Your “smile”
You’d be so pretty if you smiled
Your crossed arms
Your quick pace
Your empty earbuds
Your oversized shirt
Your makeup
Why so much makeup
Your bare face
Why no makeup
Your daily armor
Whatever form it takes
Your eyes
I believe your eyes
I believe you
