Look At Me

Its Different 
It is not a Quiet Show,
I am Naïve; 
Faults are my bitter Sword
But I don’t want them to See
until I get it better;
Let me hide Underneath.

There are Eyes ,
waiting for my turn.
Harshness;
I see them Burn Me too,
I don’t want to Be
what they want Me to Believe
I am scared to Breathe.

An Empty shell of Life,
Softness preaching Wise,
     Look at Me;
I am here Stronger  
in the tough times,
I am a Story of a Lifetime.

But I am Naïve,
Faults are my bitter Sword
Accustomed ;
I haven’t really thought
of being a persistence Gibe.
Hold me until I can Decide.

Pushed ahead
its been a quiet a time,
Hiding, is not even a Choice
Still Underneath;
Now You Belong to the Sky,
Meet Me;
I Owe you for a another Lifetime.

So Its different,
It is not a Quiet show
Henceforth ;
the Noise I subscribe for,
is not something I Adore
But I walk with a smile
stopping as they Arrive ,
Quiet in high Canopy 
my fears fall as they Arise.

I still build my Prodigy,
In Solitary exquisite
As You Continue to,
    Look at Me.
