When You Look at Me'

Folder: 
Just a thought!

Standing there, in silent pause, you weep behind the pane,

You look at me and see yourself, with nothing more to gain.

A forward view depresses you, all caught up in the past,

You say you know, but won't let go of shadows that you cast.

Look at me, what do you see?... Your heart has no desire,

When all you do is dwell on what was, there's no future to inspire.

Take a peek, deep down inside, and you'll see those painful ties...

You need a new start, so release your heart'...The mirror never lies'

"When You Look at Me"

KindredSpirit's picture

It paints

A picture

That they see.

But

 When you look

Deeper

You try to see.

What has

Been revealed

 To you

 If you would

 Change your mind

Is Everything

That they don't see

 Unless

 You write

 Another line .
