Don't you ever wonder what people see when they look at you?

And I don't mean the what they think of the way your hair shines in the florescent light.
Or how gorgeous your green eyes look when they are glossy from the sunlight.

But how they physically see you.
Because all eyes see differently right?

What if this whole time everyones eyes were meant to see things in an altered way?
What if I weren't sincerely legally blind,
with an astigmatism of 170 in the left eye and 180 in the right?

Maybe i'm meant to see everything in an altered way.
Maybe God, or Alhi, or Mother Nature or whatever higher power created human life meant for us to each view the world and the people in differently from one another.
For some people don't give me the slightest of a glance,
But i've had some say that their eyes are so attracted to the way my blonde hair glows under florescent lighting
and some who say that whenever i'm standing in direct sunlight my green eyes gleam strikingly.

Some don't see me at all, and a few have seen nothing more beautiful.

So maybe eyesight is just another way that we were meant to be different.
Maybe we ought to stop trying to be so alike.

It might lead us to something truly beautiful.
