What Do You See?

What do you see when you look at me

Am I beautiful 

Am I nice to see

What do you see when you look at me

Am I smart

Am I bright

Such as a light would be

What I see when I look at me

Is a painful soul

Alone and without any hope

And a girl who has never been bold

So...

What do you see when you look at me...?

[William Liston]

This is an interesting poem ... really captures how one feels when questioning his or her own identity. Sometimes, other people can see the beautiful parts of you that your eyes could never see. Even when you look in the mirror and all you see is "a painful soul / alone and without any hope," there is always someone who sees that bright ray inside you. That's something that keeps me going when I'm down. It's good to know that other's care.
