When you look at “me” What do you see? Do you see my smile? The one meant to razzle-dazzle and beguile? The one which like the sun, Is so warm, so inviting But deadly enough to leave you blind Ag my dear go ahead, look away! Save your eyes for yet another day. When you look at “me” What else do you see? Is it my charm? Careful now, that can also harm For, like a lake you skimmed my surface Skimmed it and just stopped there To look any further you didn’t dare Why? Is it really such a scare? Or do you simply not care? Now you know that calm exteriors Don’t make for tranquil interiors No different than a volcano People erupt from within The next time you look at me I do hope you see: The shyness The fear All the insecurities. But most of all Genuine happiness As I smile at you with my eyes
