How Do I Look?

look at me
and tell me that i'm
not wrong.
tell me 
that i'm not a liar,
that i don't steal.

look at me
and tell me that i
have much to look forward to
tell me
that i will be some one
that i'm not alone.

look at me 
and tell me that i'm
a good person.
tell me
that i am nice,
fun, and respectable.

look me right in the
eye.

tell me
you love me,

that i shouldn't be
afraid

that i shouldn't
cry mii eyes out.

look at me from a distant.
what do you see?

now look up close.
how is mii image?

now look in mii mind.
what does it tell you?

no matter what view,
angle,
whether up close, 
or far away.....
just
look
at
me.
