Do you not see me?
Freckles, pimples and scars
- the seemingly invisible ones -
...even then,
could you,
would you still love me?
Why can't you see how your words
they scar me?
When I reach for you,
you shun me.
Can you not see me?
So afraid
I am to call on you,
for your stare
it cripples me.
Will you not see me!
Alone...
Lost in the shadows
- yours, theirs...
Yet, I crave light,
for a beautiful tomorrow.
Still...
You do not see me.
But I wonder,
what if I were somebody's child
- if I belonged to someone
- someone, who - in your eyes - mattered?
Then
could you, would you...
Would you see me?
