What Does One See

What does one see

when they look at me?

Do they have the sight

to glimpse my truth?



Do they watch my

ivory canvass with

chocolate constellations

lead a trail to my heart?



Can they find in my eyes

an infinite sea of hazel

and gold washing upon

the shores of my life?



When all is shown

I am left forsaken to

clutch the burden inside

havening my fragile rose

from the world once again.
