Take a Look Into My Eyes and Tell Me What You See

Take a look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Been through the fire
Been called a liar
Been through the flood
But yet they judge me by my blood
Take a look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Heard the folks talk indeed about me
Don't know why they was ever called a team
But growing up I know I'm a girl whose about achieving her dreams
Take a look into my eyes and tell me what you see
I want you to see the young girl who I grew up to be
I'm tired of getting used and getting tossed
If you can't handle my looks , then get lost !
Take a look into my eyes and tell me what you see
If ugly is what you think I am 
Then so be it
Because a ugly girl whose about achieving her dreams 
Is who I grew up to be !

Awesome poem, Ogechi. We should never judge people by their looks. It's what's inside that counts and I admire your feisty spirit! Congratulations on your win, Love, Carolyn

Congratulations, Ogechi. This is interesting to read. Of course it's an old sayiing, but it's the inside, not the outside that counts,and I am sure you know that better than anybody!
