Sharlotte Newan Poet I do not know?

Look At Me

Look at me
Author: mindy55
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.
