Tell Me What U See

Tell me what you see,  is it my anxiety, my deep sorrows in my heart?
Tell me what you see,  for I cannot see my own face,   I have hidden it in a secret place,
Tell me what you see. why are you looking at me?     Please tell me the truth,
For my sight has been hindered, by too much scrutiny,  can you please fill me with your grace?


Tell me what I should feel, love, compassion, peace?
Close your eyes, listen to your breath,  put your hand upon your chest,
feel your heart pounding? That's your life, that is you, your alive, you have a purpose in life,
You may get a chance to make someones day, to share your story, to change a life, 
Reach out a hand, make a friend,  tell them what YOU see in thier life, their eyes,
Someone looked at me, and believed in me, and I used it to share my story, my gift,
I will never forget,  for to step into someone elses shoes, is to truly see inside their heart,  
So look inside a persons eyes just once, and tell them what you see, do you see their story?
