The Woman

Look inside 
Down deep inside 
and tell me what you find
in the bottom of your soul
Look in the mirror 
stare at your reflection
and tell me what you see
in those bright blue eyes
Do the looks match your emotions?

Deep inside those eyes
I see a broken woman 
a woman so low 
on the verge of falling 
deeper. 

From the outside 
I see a happy woman
a woman with a smile
on the verge of jumping
higher. 

Look around you 
All around you 
and the people moving 
not noticing your sorrow
Look in their eyes 
glare for a while
what are their thoughts
about you ?

Deep in their hearts 
They wonder what is wrong
a woman so withdrawn
on the verge of collapsing
Lower. 

From the first glance
They see an ordinary woman 
a pretty woman 
on the verge of laughing.

Look deeper
into this extraordinary woman 
a fighter, a lover
See the sorrow 
taking over this great woman
a griever, a loner 
Watch the tears
flood from this stong woman
as she breaks.
