Can You See

TobaniNataiella

Can You See.

 

You cannot see.

What I can see

Because you ignore me.

 

If you could see.

What I can see.

Would you think differently.

 

Is it because you can't see.

What I can see.

That you continue to judge me.

 

If you tried to see.

What I can see.

You might get to know me.

 

Then you could see.

What I can see.

Then I would think differently.

    Oh, now here is a mantra of my being! It also sums up quite neatly a major reason why poetry became part of me as a child. thank you for sharing! P.S. the year stamped marks the general time that I began to write as a novice, the early seventies really.
