I Look

Yes
That is sight
But look
I look
Ceasing pleasure in please 
I look

Smiling at sadness in silence
I look
Crying in laughter of pain
I look

Advicing a stranger but I am lost
I look
Cuddling the pillows of worries
I look

Laying in a rosy dark bed of mourning
I look
Searching for hope while believing 
I look

Questioning the rhetorics with expectations
I look
Smashing tiredness in a frustrating office
I look

Waking at dawn to freshen old wounds
I look
Greeting fear as a friend
I look

Pleading with time to say my name
I look
Looking without reason not thoughts
I look

Hearty and hurtful
I look
Taken but forgotten
I look

Pretty yet troubled
I look
Dark in the world of darkness
I look

Black child
I look
Black eyes 
I look

Black hearts waking every demonstration
I look
I look deep 
The deep deepens deep to the deep

I look deep
I look
I look
