When You Look At Me

I think it is good to reflect on what happened in your pass to remember hard times while celebrating good. Most of my past poems were written when I was in dire restraint. Looking back reminds me of the blessings God's given me in my life today.

When You Look At Me

When you look at me
What do you see?
Do you see me or who I perceive to be?
When you look at me
Am I just another body that's walking by?
Or am I someone?
When you look at me
Do you see my outside appearance only?
Do you see my smiles and my joy?
When you look at me
Can you tell that I'm hurting inside?
That I'm struggling with the pressures
of everyday life...
That when I'm alone I cry.
When you look at me
Do you see someone who's depressed,
or someone who's always happy?
When you look at me
When you ask me "How are you?" and
I say "I'm fine" or "Okay"
Do you believe me?
When you look at me... please...
Tell me what do you see?
