Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

You See Me

You see me 
      The way no one else does.
             Some look at me
 Not looking beyond the blemishes 
          Embedded on my skin.
        Some even look past me
         As though I'm invisible,
            But you look at me
            Without judgment.
        You see the true beauty
        Shining deep within me.
       You see some scars, too,
     But you don't seem to care.
   Your kind eyes search through 
         The rubble of my soul
                 To unearth
              A rare diamond.
                 You see me
                    As I am
