Look At Me
Look at me

Look at me
what do you see?
who am I
I am not sure
take a better look
I ask this of you
but do you know why?
Look at me
deep inside
not just my face
my heart I feel
seem to be in the
right place,
Look at me
lots of curly hair
on top of my head
my eyes wide open
and blue
can you tell by looking
what my life has been through?
Look at me
not the shape of my hips
or how small or big
is my breast
but by my kindness
to people at best,
Look at me
see there is a few wrinkles
on my face and hands
I don't like to look
it certainty was not
my plan,
Look at me
my feet long and narrow
today I painted my toe nails
painted blue
instead of red,
so do you think this is me
it still really not
or could it be,
Look at me
my Bible in hand
as I pray to the God
do you understand
is this me?
A Christian woman
come follow me to this land,
Look at me
some days a poet
but most days a daughter
who take care of her mother
a sister to my bother
a Aunt who was raised a farm girl
this is my world,
Look at me
what do you see?

About this poem:
I wrote this poem because I get so many email from men
who just keep saying you have a pretty face.
They don't see me or even care who I am
Just my face.
