What Do You See

What Do You See???
I once asked someone what do you see when you see me 
They replied with I don’t know you tell me
I said I see someone who’s knows bounds of pain from stained bruises, cuts, and tears to my heart
Soul pure of gold but cold envious to warmth of what’s deemed grander
I see someone full of rage with the beast tearing at the skin ready to be released only to calmed by undying sense of self control
Afraid to open the door of serenity and peace because by the world I was taught nothing is forever and the wolves prey on the weak
I see strength in my eyes, grit my his teeth, vodka in my veins, and blood from my feet from boundless walks on the edge of the moral knife of conformity and uniqueness not knowing if I’m a outcast or a blind witness
Never seeing My true potential due to the circumstances of being empathetic not realizing that cold hearted tendencies would be the warmth that warm hearted foolishness didn’t provide.
I see someone who doesn’t open to many keeping soul and heart deep in the pit and being lifeless to the world giving no part to any not worthy of it
To be worthy in my eyes is all of pure simplicity, Connections of the soul of plains of unknown by ways of mystery will simply provide you with my loyalty and not pity
