Would you look through my eyes?

Can you look through someone elses eyes?

 

Would you look through my eyes?

 

Why, why do you condemn me?

Why can’t you look at me and see normal?

Why do I need to be something I’m not to make you happy?

Why do you feel the need to put me down?

Why do you hate me for the person I love,

For the color of my skin,

Or the way I live my life.

 

Do you want me to grow up and be angry?

Do you want me to hate every one around me?

Do you want me to condemn you for who you are?

Do you understand what your words are doing to me?

Do I hate you for the person you love,

For the color of your skin,

Or the way you live your life?

 

What would you do if I fought back?

What would you do if I yelled at you?

What would you do if I told your kids all of the stuff you told me?

What would you do if I killed my self?

What would you do if I went to my school and killed everyone,

If I killed my family,

If I came after your family?

 

Would you help me if I asked for it?

Would you find me help if I needed it?

Would you be my friend if I needed one?

Would you tell people to stop if they were hurting me?

Would you take the time to look through my eyes,

Walk in my shoes,

Live my life?

Author's Note

I know this is kind of depressing but I this is what I think. So if you like it good, if you can relate to it great, if you don't like it that ok also. Like I said it's just what I thought.

Frankly my dear, I don`t give a damn !
Infamous words from Clarke Gabel to Scarlet.

Actually the poem is very good. The problem
is that few readers will identify with the characters.

I have always felt that if we could see through another's eyes there would be more understanding in the world... we all to often only see the surface and not understand why the person act the way they do. Also if we could see ourselves through the eyes of someone who loves us maybe there would be more happiness in the world. Excellent piece, can get a lot of people to think here.
