Look within

When you look at me do you see ME.

Or do you see just the outer skin.

Do you look past the outside to see what's within.

You say you look at me so give me a surprise.

Can you please tell me the colour of my eyes.

Do I use glasses when I read a book?

Wait you said you see me but you took a
Sneaky look.

So when you look at me remember what you see. 

Look beyond the outer skin and you find the real 
    ME.
