I Dare You Poem by Dyhanara Rios

I dare you to look me straight in the eyes;
I dare you to see what’s wrong with you.
I dare you to say what’s on your mind;
I dare you to tell me the truth.

Every single tear in this wasted year
Brings about the fear of losing you, dear.

I dare you to admit the answers to your lies;
I dare you to see how much they’re wrong.
I dare you to say the questions you’re thinking;
I dare you to tell me the truth.

And now I don’t regret
Everything I ever said to you, and
Having ever said the following:

I dare you to look me straight in the eyes,
And lie to me that there’s nothing wrong.
I dare you to say what’s on your mind,
And make it sound like an innocent song.
I dare you to admit the answers to those lies,
And how you won’t hold on to those for long.

I dare you to say what’s on your mind,
And trust me, there’s no hiding this time!
I dare you to tell us all the truth,
And all of the things that are evil in you.
