See Me

When you see me Do you see beauty and brokenness? Potential and shattered-ness? Can you see past my flaws and mistakes? Wanting perfection is as if holding onto hope lost But still dance within the fault of our stars When you say you love me Is it because of my curves or my inner curiosities? When you stare at me Is it because you See hunger of lust Or are you acting as a scientist researching and figuring me out? When you see me Do you see intellengence and Insecurities? Mystery and madness? Would you fill me with joy only to leave me? When you see me Can you see the empathy and emptiness? Sophistication and sympathy? Can you make my imperfection into something greater than the Great Depression? When you see me Do you see the leading urge I have or The loneliness I feel? When you look in my eyes Do you see the waving and ocean drive of depression When you see me Do you see my focus and disorder? Not like the missing chromosome but the one where I always feel alone When you see me Do you see me or an invisible figure? When you see me See me for more than what my skin and curves is worth When you see me Do you see my inner beauty more than my outer When you love me Love me for me, cause when I Love I love Hard Love me for my inner me and personality Not what God has put on me or made of me Because I am me I will forever be me and I can not change for thee
