Within the world that we live, appearance has been something that many focus on. Through personal experience and hearing others talk, there is much more to people than their looks. I know, personally, that I am not one to brag about my appearance because I feel that there is so much more to me. With this, I hope others can relate to the way in which people can take a person’s characteristics into consideration. With this, you must erase all past hypotheses about the person and what you may have heard about them through other people. I hope after reading this you think about the way you’re supposed to look at people; without judgment because everyone has their own story.
When you see me...
Recommended for you
When you see me what do you see?
Something gentle, something kind?
To me, I am nothing other than me.
To see myself through you would be something so different, so questionable.
In order to see myself through you I’d have step into your shoes.
The shoes you wear everyday, that may seem so clean on the outside,
Although would you find the same inside?
With the toes you walk on,
Are they filled envy or love for anyone?
If you have shoes too big to fill, would your eyes reveal the same feelings?
The eyes you use everyday to look at everyone and everything
Hold secrets only you can tell.
Would I be looking at love or hate for me, or anyone for that matter?
Perspective something that cannot be explained
It’s something bigger than anyone.
When you see me are you looking at my appearance,
Or do you examine my quintessence?
Personality is what defines me.
Despite what others may say, what are you looking at me for?
I have more to me than what others may say.
To step in my shoes, although they may seem small,
They are the things that carry me through it all.
Walking, running, stepping through my daily life is something that one I understand.
I too do not know what will happen next.
If my shoes too small, will my disposable lenses clear the air?
My view of the world, and how I see myself—exposed.
Through my eyes how will you see me?
The same? Different?
Now that you’re on the outside looking in will your mindset change?
Back in your own shoes can you see that there is more?
Well there is more to life than what others may say.
When you see me, now can you visualize how life is different for us all?
When you see me, notice my identity.
When you see me, notice my self, my being.
When you see me, look at me and nothing else.
