what is seen by them
what is hidden
for not many dare seek what is behind them
few do see
few do look

happiness
sadness
hurt
pain

anguish
love
kindness
caring

­horror
disgust
anguish
pleasure

joking
fun
scary
delight

truth
­lost
burdened
sleep

fakeness
falseness
drunken
delusion

these are but just a few
for we all see
but we do not want to
for some its one

for some its another
we do look
at each other
but we only see what we want

in one night i saw
so much yet so little
from within it did all come
so many n so much

expressions in the eyes
for so many reasons
so much not said
just looks
all in their eyes

why so many
so much
so little disregard

why oh why
are we all like that
for are our eyes
not windows to the soul

that is for you to decide
if so be wary of what you see
for within us all is so much
and so much is said in our eyes

take a good look at ourself
behind what we see
what is there really

like it for what it is
see it for what there be
within those eyes
is you and me

that is what one says
for are you not looking back at yourself
for are they not part of you
but so see what is in others

do we all see the same
or just our perceptions differ
from what is
what will be

within those eyes
that do see
for so much there is
not said but can be seen

so see
open them
look at what there is
for within is so much
not what is not

hidden no more
let loose n view
what should be seen
so be free from it all

open your souls
let loose the truth
feel free from your bonds

open your eyes!
