What Do You See

What do people see when they look?
Do they see just the surface?
Or do they see what's beneath?
Can they see the hurt and pain that's been carried within?
Have they expierenced it?
Do they know what it's like not to be able to let it out?
Does any one know what it's like living with this guilt and repressed emotions?
Are these feelings from my doings?
Or are they from beyond my control?
Why is it feelings bottle up inside?
Do they even have a clue?
Or do they just judge?
