Rainbows and Butterflies

Rainbows and Butterflies
all tell lies
to small childrens' crying eyes.

Notice

does no one notice?
that i’ve cried all day.
that i’ve lied the the entire time.
that i’m scared out of my mind.

did you notice?
that i’m lost.
that i’m cold.
that i’m alone.

how did know one notice?
not one silent scream.
not one distant person.
not one crying eye.
