New Blood: Don'T See Through Me

NEW BLOOD: DONT SEE THROUGH ME

Judge me through the eyes
You’ll see a sunshine
Glittering from a dry river of cries
Judge me through my smile.
You’ll see a daze	
Mesmerizing from a residue of lingering vile.

Judge me through my body.
You’ll see a symmetry
Of no value for all of it is meat and bones.
Judge me through my words
You’ll hear a scorn
A lovely obstacle to confine my mourn

Don’t judge me by the soul
The scars don’t heal, the pain retains
It is lost, afloat and misguided.
Therefore, judge me through only what can be seen.
Anatomy can lie, but the soul instills the places it has been.
