Can you see me?

addynicole

 

Can you see me?

I glance toward you as I walk by, and sneak a peek.

Do you see me….am I there.

I want to stare and smile at you but fear causes me to look away.

When you look at me are you looking right through me to someone else?

I want you to see me.

I see you sitting quietly there. 

Your mind wondering, pondering, a hidden catacomb.

I want to know what you are thinking, but wonder if your truth would hurt.

I want you to see me.

See me as beautiful,

See me as strong, confident, and intelligent.

I want to hide my insecurities, tears, fears, and weakness.

What do you see?  Can you see me, am I there?

      To be seen "as strong, confident, and intelligent" talk to this person. Do that and they will see you.
      Your poem speaks to us readers, we relate. We appreciate the quality of your work You have a talent. As a poet, you should never fear "Truth," or the spoken word, but yes, fear the withheld emotion, the silence of the unseen.
      Loved your poem. - Phil A.

        Thanks for the in put, and think I have talent. New to writing poetry, but it is very cathartic for sure.
