Eye contact leaks personalities You hope stay secret Yet They beg to be seen, Recognised and conversed warmly with
They only wish to feel not as strange As their owner fears they are Be held, loved, cherished even, Just not shunned
When lids shut, or gaze averts, Believe safety is inside yourself But please, Know that's a curse
This is my first poem. I'm not sure I understand rules of poetry fully yet but I decided to just try anyway (yes, this is weak disclaimer to cover my back).
