He looks at me with shuttered eyes.
When I tell him, I feel he needs to apologize.
(to his stepfather)
He looks at me and says “why?”
All the time, looking with shuttered eyes.
I wonder, what he hides behind shuttered eyes.
Is he hiding a rebel spirit, which lives deep inside?
Or is he hiding a frightened child; he tries so hard to disguise.
All the time, looking with shuttered eyes.
