Have you ever looked at someone?

A stranger, a friend, a lover?

Surely, your answer would be
Yes.

But I don't think you understand the question...

When I say "looked", I mean really looked.

Have you had the chance to look past the walls built around the heart?
Have you grasped the opportunity to see the little child inside?
Have you had the slightest glimpse at the damaged psyche?

Surely, your answer would be
No.

My answer would be
Yes.

I've reached past the walls, taken the opportunity, had my glimpse.
And wouldn't you know?
I honestly wish I hadn't.
