I see you,
You,
behind the wide smile,
the intimidating curve,
beyond the lights,
past the scars,
the markings that carves your skin,
the souvenirs of your ugly past,
I see you,
You.
The perfect beat within.

I see you,
You,
behind the bright eyes,
the fake countenance,
beyond the blooming of springs on your face,
past the facade,
the various ways you wear your masks,
the shield from people's eyes ,
I see you,
You,
the real beat within.

I see you,
You,
behind the tough voice,
the in-built confidence,
beyond the loudness of your presence,
past the noise,
the efforts to get noticed,
the struggles to be acknowledged,
I see you,
You,
the important beat within.

I see you,
over your past,
over your errors,
over the aftermath of the oppression,
the heartbroken,
the faulted,
the weak,
the denied,
the forgotten,
I see you,
You,
over all that,
not the misplaced foot,
but the perfect, real, and important beats,
that makes You who you are.
The precious, fragile jewel,
Darling,
I see you.
