Poem
Who Are You ¿ What can you see of you When everyone around you Only sees the worst of you When they are addicted to the weakness Which plays to their ego What truth of you Is shown you In the guise of love They drown you Does their habitual then become you Does it fit All that you see is the useless me The troublesome And to much trouble to be You What else can you see of you When everyone around you Only sees the worst of you They convince you of your ineptitude A platitude which describes You And never looks further into The you They have created The you They take for granted They are too comfortable With heir impressions Way too sure of their interpretations And so self serving in their conclusions Label you Lets them use you And easily Abuse you Without a thought or moment of conscience And the great big wheel Rolls To its own great big circle You listen You accept And in the end Become what they said Was true of you And they have the affront to call this Love Who’s next in their game of self-embellishment ……………………………………………………………………………….. but Perhaps You would like to see things from a different point of view See all the love And all the beauty I see in you Perhaps You would like to see your strength Your courage Maybe You would like to see yourself worthy Eminently you are Perhaps You would care to see How I have seen your struggle With a tender heart And gentle hands That others would curl to fists In the face of their demands Maybe All you see of you Is what they want you to Maybe You are far more So much more I am sure That like a wild stallion They seek to restrain For the fear of discovering that they Are less And you You are so much more Perhaps Someday You will see the lies For what they are Perhaps Someday You will look at yourself And see yourself through my eyes All the love You really are
