the eyes
these eyes of mine
on the outside
looking in
...
no one to hug
no one to hold
no one that i
can call my own
...
i smile
to hide the pain
i work hard
to hide the shame
...
take a step back
take a deep breath
look at the world
through the eyes of me
...
life really is
beautiful
depends on how
you view it though
...
i must admit
my heart he hit
with his smooth moves
and charming coos
...
we had to write a poem from the point of view of Fredrick Douglass:
i have the potential
to be intelligent
...
when you look at me
what do you see
do you just take a quick glance
and assume everything's fine, i'm alright
...
people see
a girl's smile
they assume
we're happy, we're fine
...
my love is pure
my love is true
with my heart
i see through you
...
