Behind Blue Eyes
America was always told he didn't care.
"You're killing people!" "The environment will suffer!" "How do you think they feel!?"
He had been told he had no conscious.
"You left him all alone!" "How could you hurt him like that?!" "You killed them!"
He was told his love was nonexistent. But it wasn't. It was simple a vengeance.
"I'll save you!" He had roared into battle many times for the sake of his love. He had killed. He had fought for it when no one else would. Even his own people were often against him.
He never let his real emotions show.
"A plane has just crashed into the world trade center" "America are you ok?" "Yea I'm fine!" "You sure?" "I'm sure…"
No one knew.
"He doesn't care!" "I heard he didn't even cry when his mentor was bombed." "I heard he didn't even wince when hundreds of his people died in a terrorist attack"
No one knew what it was like.
"I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, mon ami!" "That 's crazy!" "Hola! I heard about the attack. Are you going to retaliate?"
No one cared to know.
"What a fool" "Who would let him be in charge?" "I'm glad I don't live in his country."
No one knew how many lies he'd told.
"I'm fine!" "I'm glad to have you as my president!" "I think we should go to war."
No one knew how much it hurt him.
'no I'm not okay I'm bleeding out' 'who in their right mind elected you?!' 'please don't make me go to war again!'
No one knew his dreams.
'I want to touch the stars' 'I want to be free of this stupid politics!' 'I could be that happy…'
No one knew what it was like to be that man.
"did you hear what he did?" "Can believe they still even let him be a world power?" "I can't believe they even let him live!"
No one knew how empty he was.
'I give up! I can't win! I can't even surrender! I don't want to kill anyone else! Just let me die…'
No one knew, cared, or would even miss him.
'Let me die! You don't want me! No one does! Just let it end!'
No one knows what it's like to be so mistreated.
"A plane has crashed into the remaining tower." "Pearl Harbor has just been attacked" "The president has been shot"
He hated it. He wanted out. But how could he? The world rested on his shoulders. Someone had to carry it.
His new dream.
'I will survive. I will make it through this pain. I will smile for everyone else's sake.'
No one could carry his burden. No one would want to.
"Discover yourself. You're not the only one carrying the world."
Or would someone?
"I see what's behind your eyes."
Why would they?
"I understand that feeling. But embracing it won't help"
How could they?
"I'll help you carry the burden."
No one knows what it's like to be the sad man. Except for another.
OOOOOOOONOTESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
