LOOK AT ME!

What do

You see

When you

Look at me

Is it

My brown eyes

Is it

The smile

That I save

Just for you

Is it

My black hair

That you wish

Was longer

Do you see

My desires

My wishes

My dreams

Do you see

My hopes

My fears

My anxiety

Do you know

What keeps

My heart beating

Can you see

Yourself

Can you tell

That sometimes

I want to die

Can you see

My weariness

My tiredness

My despair

Can you see

The pain

That resides

Inside my heart

Can you see

The valleys

On my cheeks

Carved out

By my tears

Can you tell

That sometimes

I don't want

To be me

Do you know

How it feels

To be

Empty inside

Do you see

The darkness

Are you

Frightened

Are you

Running

Are you

Screaming
