Do Not See My Skin

I do not want you to see my skin Don't look into my eyes and see that they are green Do not look at my mouth and see that my lips are pink I do not want you to see my skin I want you to see my soul Think of me as translucent A vaporous body Reverberating with voice See me not as a vision, An image absorbed by your irises, But hear me as a feeling A passion Loud sound with something to say Take me as a fire in your heart And stand up and shout one day.
