The Boy Behind the Glasses

The Boy Behind the Glasses

the boy behind the glasses
i have lived with him
all my life

those glasses
have shielded me from unwanted light
and those glasses
have concealed the hurt (i think)

the boy behind the glasses
i have kept him concealed
those glasses,
do not reveal how the boy feels
what is the meaning
of my wayward dreaming
the boy has hidden away
