What would happen if you saw me?
If you truly saw me
If you saw past my face
Past my clothes
Past my words
What would happen if you truly saw me?
I'll tell you
You would see a dark writhing mass
Confusion and hatred
Violence and untamed fear
You would see my loneliness
You would see how much I despise everything
But you would also see how much love is inside me
How much I care for people
You would see how much I want everyone to love me as much as I love them
You would see how much I understand
How well I can see other people
But you can't see this
Because you can't look past my face
You can't look past my clothes
You can't look past my words
All you can see is what lies before you
