What do you see
when you look at me
do you see the person inside
the one screaming to be free
Do you see me as a child
who got lost along the way
or do you see me for the
simple man I am today
Do you see me as before
have I forever changed your view
or do you see me on the outside and wonder
if my inner battle is even true
Do you see me cry out
begging God to help me
or do you see what you want
and think that I am crazy
Do you see me and wonder
if I'm just confused about life
or do have you opened your eyes yet
and noticed my strife
Do you see me as the same person
I've been for so long
or do you see the path I've chosen
and decide that it's wrong
Do you see me reaching out
to help you slowly understand me
or are you blinded by your own opinion
of who and how I should be
Do you see me cringe
when someone calls me "she"
or do you close your eyes and ignore it
because that's the way is "should" be
Do you see me and fear
I am doing something wrong
or do you look at me and see

Please tell me, what do you see?

ReplyDeleteI see you as a strong, intelligent and talented person that loves deeply.
ReplyDeleteI see a strong intelligent person that, aside from many battle passed and yet so many ahead, is standing strong with lots of support of family, friends and so many others who just want to see you happy.
ReplyDeleteEverything happens for a reason- May God continue to grant you and your family strength during whatever struggles come your way-
and I know you will stand strong in the end.
I love the poem!! Thank you.
