Can You See

Take Care.

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.

            I like reading your poetry. You write as I do, experiences and emotions. I too started writting as a child, to me, it was my only release. Thank you for the read. I enjoyed it!

                      exactly - unless the person can actually see the real you, passing judgement would be one sided, and maybe wrong too
                      good write up - keep it up
