See Me.
It’s a constant battle
To get people to look me in the eye.
That wouldn’t be so difficult to handle,
If I didn’t know what it had felt like before.
How it felt,
To be seen.
To see,
Eye to eye.
Please, I pray silently
Please, see
Me.
Look me in the eye and see,
where life has taken me.
Which roads I have crossed,
Which roads I have built.
Which roads I have lost
Look me in the eye and see,
Where I have crawled,
My blood, sweat and tears.
Look me in the eye and hear,
My story.
The battles I have won,
And those that I have lost.
My hard earned lessons,
Swallowing heartbreaks.
Listen to the sound of my steps,
The taste of my desire.
I breathe, I exhale.
I breathe.
I yearn, I lust, I live.
I love.
See it.
Please,
look me in the eye,
And not at my chair.
